Sunstone SWC21EP 21" Upper Wall Cabinet End Panel 304 SS
A Matched 304 Stainless End Cap That Turns an Exposed Cabinet Side Into a Finished Edge
The Sunstone SWC21EP covers screw heads, utility ports, and internal panels on the side of an upper wall cabinet run — closing out the installation with a clean, matched stainless finish instead of a visible working edge.
The Sunstone SWC21EP is a 21" upper wall cabinet end panel built to finish exposed cabinet sides in Sunstone wall cabinet groups. In 304 stainless steel with a matching #4 brushed finish, it pin-locks onto the exposed side of an upper wall cabinet before installation, hiding internal panels, screw heads, and utility access openings behind a single clean surface. It's also commonly used between two adjacent cabinets in a sink nook to cover the lower portion of a full-height cabinet base, keeping the overall wall run visually consistent from end to end.
What the SWC21EP Solves
A wall cabinet run looks finished from the front — the SWC21EP is what makes it look finished from the side too.
Matched 304 Stainless Finish — No Visible Seam Between Panel and Cabinet
Built from 304 stainless steel in Sunstone's #4 brushed finish — the same material and surface treatment used across the wall cabinet line, so the end panel reads as part of the cabinet rather than an added-on cover piece.
Lift-and-Drop Installation — No Tools Required
The panel pin-locks onto the side of the cabinet with a simple lift-and-drop motion. Install it before the upper wall cabinets go in — sequencing it after the cabinets are mounted makes the fit far more difficult.
Doubles as a Sink Nook Spacer — Covers the Base Below Two Adjacent Cabinets
Beyond finishing a run's end, the SWC21EP is also recommended between two adjacent cabinets inside a sink nook, where it covers the lower portion of a full-height cabinet base and keeps the visual line of the installation consistent.

Warranty & Buyer Assurance
- Manufacturer's Warranty — Covered by Sunstone Metal Products' 5-year limited warranty, honored directly by Sunstone. End panels are explicitly named alongside handles, peg legs, kick plates, and spacer panels as 5-year warranted components — distinct from the lifetime warranty applied to cabinet structure and finish. [[FLAG: one third-party retailer advertises this specific product with a "lifetime structure warranty" claim, which conflicts with Sunstone's own standard warranty language for end panels used consistently across their other cabinet accessory listings. The 5-year figure is used here as the manufacturer-consistent term; confirm directly with Sunstone if a discrepancy is suspected]]. Labor is not included.

Sunstone SWC21EP — Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to account for this panel in my overall cabinet layout measurements?
Yes — the panel is 1" thick and adds that full inch to the overall width of your cabinet run on the side where it's installed. Include this in your layout planning and countertop measurements before finalizing your design.
When should this panel be installed relative to the upper wall cabinets?
Install the end panel before the upper wall cabinets are mounted. It pin-locks onto the side of the cabinet, and sequencing installation this way ensures a proper, flush fit.
Can this panel be used somewhere other than the end of a cabinet run?
Yes — beyond finishing the exposed end of an upper wall cabinet group, this panel is also recommended for use between two adjacent cabinets inside a sink nook, where it covers the lower portion of a full-height cabinet base to keep the visual line of the installation consistent.
Does this panel match the finish of other Sunstone wall cabinets?
Yes — the SWC21EP is built from 304 stainless steel with the same #4 brushed finish used across Sunstone's wall cabinet line, so it blends seamlessly with the rest of your cabinet installation rather than reading as an added-on piece.
What is Sunstone's warranty on this panel?
The SWC21EP is covered by Sunstone's 5-year limited warranty, which explicitly applies to end panels, handles, peg legs, kick plates, and spacer panels — distinct from the lifetime warranty that covers cabinet structure and finish. Labor is not included.
