Replacement cabinet doors are typically new cabinet doors that are custom built to fit your existing cabinet boxes, or cabinet face frames. Replacing cabinet doors instead of replacing cabinets is a very fast growing trend in todays economy. We have seen many real estate companies, house flippers, contractors, handymen, and homeowners replacing their cabinet doors as a way to save money and speed the kitchen update process.
There are many advantages to replacing your existing cabinet doors with new ones. For one is cost, you can completely change the look of your kitchen or bathroom cabinets for a fraction of what replacing the cabinetry would cost. It is most certainly more cost effective than hiring a refacing company to reface the cabinets. In fact most refacing companies will charge close to what replacing the cabinets would cost, the only advantage there is that refacing is usually not a long or invasive remodeling project.
The second advantage is time, once you have your new cabinet doors the installation process is very fast and aside from the painting or staining of them can usually be done in a few hours. Most cabinet door companies will supply new European hinges already pre-bored into the doors, this makes installation a snap. Just about all European style cabinet door hinges are adjustable so dialing in the fit and the gaps between doors is very easy.
The third advantage is quality. New custom made cabinet doors are usually made to a much higher standard than the production style of cabinet door made in most pre fab cabinet factories. Wood grain and color uniformity in custom cabinet doors seem to be held to a higher standard. One of the reasons for this is that great majority of custom cabinet door companies sell directly to custom cabinet makers as well as other craftsmen that demand a higher quality product to provide to their clients.
The fourth advantage of replacing your cabinet doors is selection. There are literally thousands of different door styles and combinations available. You can even combine different doors and drawer fronts to create a style that is completely unique and can not be found in any home center or cabinet design studio. For example you can use an arched top style of cabinet door for your upper cabinets a square or non arched design for your base cabinets and either a slab drawer front or one that will match the design of the doors. The possibilities are endless. We have also seen many people use a completely different style on their island cabinets, even a different color/finish as well. Replacement cabinet doors allows you to be creative and be your own interior designer without having to hire anyone.
Replacing cabinet doors can be a great do it yourself project. Minimal tools are involved, usually a cordless drill or screw gun helps greatly. You can find these for very cheap at most tool or home improvement stores. In most cases you don’t even have to remove the contents of the cabinets in order to install your new cabinet doors.
