Replacement Cabinet Doors for Your Kitchen

Replacement Cabinet Doors for Your Kitchen

Kitchen remodels can be time-consuming projects that often require big budgets. Replacing just the cabinet doors is a great way to get a remodel feel without the price tag. This process is known as cabinet refacing. It is called this because when you replace the doors only, you are essentially giving the cabinet a new "face". In addition, you will likely also be refinishing your cabinet box with paint, stain, or laminate material to match your replacement cabinet doors.

In this guide, we are going to show you how easy it is to order your replacement cabinet doors online at CabinetNow.com. Follow this step-by-step guide and you will be ready to reface your kitchen cabinets in no time.

2. 2. Measure For Replacement Cabinet Doors
• It may sound like it will be difficult, but measuring for new or replacement cabinet doors is actually very DIY-friendly. The first step is to get a measuring tape, something to write with, a note pad, and to head over to your cabinet box.
• You will need to measure the width and height of the opening you plan to cover with the replacmenet cabinet door. Next, you will need to add on your desired overlay. The overlay is the distance that the cabinet door goes past the opening on the cabinet box. When adding the overlay, you will need to be sure you take both sides, or the top and bottom, into account. This means that if you want a half inch overlay, you will need to add one inch to the width and heighth of the door.
• If your cabinet box opening is wider than 20 inches, then you will likely need to order split doors. This does not change how the height is calculated, just the width. To see the full formula for calculating split cabinet doors, see our measuring guide.
