When Melissa Mandra unlocks the door to Universal Cabinetry Design’s new Surf City showroom with her cellphone, she’s demonstrating more than just convenient technology. She’s showing how a business once known primarily for building supplies has quietly revolutionized the cabinet design experience on Long Beach Island.

“A lot of people know Universal Supply,” said Mandra, the showroom’s kitchen and bath designer. “But they don’t know Universal Cabinetry.”

She’s working to change that perception, one QR code at a time.
