When discussing refurbishments with prospective customers it is clear that many are confused by the apparent mis-match in sizes between the cabinet and it's door. It is commonly thought that the doors have been made to the wrong size as they are usually 4-5mm smaller than the cabinet. There is a good reason for this as when cabinets are installed 'side by side' if the doors were the same size as the cabinet it would not be possible to open without rubbing against the adjacent door. See the gaps around the doors in the picture which illustrate they are smaller than the cabinets thus allowing each door to readily open without touching it's neighbour.
In the UK alone there have been and still are very many cabinet manufacturers, most adopt a policy of using standard widths of 300mm, 400mm, 500mm, 600mm etc but few use the same cabinet heights. Therefore when considering a refurbishment which requires new doors it is essential to choose a supplier who is able to provide 'Made to Measure' or 'Bespoke' sizes.
Kitchen Refurbs Ltd have probably the widest choice of competitively priced Replacement Cabinet Doors available in UK.
When specifying a door size for quotation purposes it is helpful to be aware of the way most suppliers price their doors. Prices are usually based on a range of standard sizes with 'in between' sizes attracting the price of the next standard size up. For example if a door size of say 715mm x 496mm is priced at £20.00 and 715mm x 596mm is priced at £25.00, if you specify a door size of 715mm x 500mm this will be priced at £25.00 (the price of a 715mm x 596mm door) although the actual size that you need is 715mm x 496mm.
All of this may appear to be confusing and daunting but please do not let it put you off as help is at hand with our comprehensive Measuring Guide
