Installing your New Cabinet Doors

Replacing the doors involves removing the existing doors, any face framing that will not be refinished and hardware. Before installing the new cabinet doors you will want to make sure the exterior panels of the existing cabinet boxes matches your new cabinet doors. This can be accomplished with paint or stain.

Once your cabinet boxes are ready you can begin to install your new cabinet doors. First you will want to start by installing the hinges. Whether you are using the existing hinges or new ones you can most likely use the existing placement in the cabinet box and align new cabinet door accordingly. After your new wooden cabinet doors are hung you can now install the pulls. Choosing new pulls over using the existing can also make a dramatic difference.

Estate Millwork also offers replacement drawer fronts to match our custom cabinet doors. Any questions or if you need help please contact a representative at 1.866.322.0040 or sales@estatemillwork.com.
