At Cabinet Doors 'N' More, we serve everyone from contractors performing large-scale remodels to homeowners saving money with their first DIY repair. Whether it's your first time working with cabinets or you need a refresher, we've prepared a simple guide for getting the right size cabinet doors. Using these steps, you can take measurements using a current cabinet door, or measure the cabinet opening to create a new door with the correct overlap and order the right cabinet door hinges for framed or frameless cabinetry.
To measure cabinet doors for the kitchen, bath or any room, you need a good tape measure and something to take notes on. Measure to the closest 1/16 of an inch for both width and height for doors made in just the right size. We recommend measuring at least twice for accuracy as our doors are custom made to the specific measurements you provide.
HOW TO MEASURE USING AN EXISTING CABINET DOOR
To get doors the same size as those you have on your current cabinetry, open your cabinet door and measure using the backside of the door for accuracy. Take the width first and then the height and be sure to measure twice. We need the actual measurements of the cabinet door down to 1/16" (not the cabinet opening).

HOW TO MEASURE USING YOUR CABINET OPENING
Measuring to fit acabinet opening includes a few extra steps to get the doors made in the right sizes for your remodel or renovation:
Measure the inside edges:When measuring the width, measure from left to right, starting with the inside edge of the left stile (vertical part of the face frame) to the inside edge of the right stile. When measuring height, measure from the inside edge of the bottom rail (horizontal part of the face frame) to the inside edge of the top rail. We build to 1/16 inch increments, so be precise.
Add space for door overlay:Cabinet doors for framed cabinets must be larger than the cabinet opening to look right and close properly. We refer to this as an "overlay". The industry standard for most cabinet doorsisa 1/2 inch overlay around the cabinet door. To create a 1/2 inch door overlay on all four sides, add 1 inch to your total height, and 1 inch to your total width.
Cabinet Rail/Stile
Cabinet Opening (for both cabinet doors and drawer fronts)
For example, if you're measuring a cabinet opening 14 inches wide and 24 inches tall and wanted to achieve a 1/2 inch overlay, order adoor15 inches wide and 25 inches tall. Your desired door overlay may vary, so please take that into account when calculating your overall measurements.

Doubledoors add utility and visual appeal to any set of cabinets. If you would like to install double cabinet doors over a single opening, we will help you get the perfect fit. We recommend using the following calculation based on the most common 1/2 inch door overlay. If you want a more significant overlap (overlay), be sure to account for it in your math.
To get accurate measurements for double doors over a single opening:
Measure the cabinet opening:Measure in the same fashion as for a single door, getting the total width and height from the inside edge of the cabinet opening.
Add space for door overlay: Add 1 inch to the height of the opening. For the width,add 1 inch to your total width and then divide by 2. If using european concealed hinges, you should be able adjust the hinges in/out so the doors do not rub and properly align.
For example:
If you want double doors on a cabinet opening 24 inches wide by 30 inches high, here are the measurements:
Add 1" to the height: 30" + 1" = 31" height
Add 1" to the width: 24" + 1" = 25" width. Divide the width by 2 and you get 12 1/2" width for each door.
Order two doors at 12 1/2" W x 31" H

Just like a cabinet door, taking accurate measurements for cabinet drawer fronts is simple, with processes similar to those above. If you plan on replacing a existing drawer front with a new style or wood species, all we need you to do is measure the backside of the drawer front for width and height to the nearest 1/16th.
Existing cabinet drawer fronts may not always be available. With two simple steps, we'll help you get precise measurements for an attractive fit. Drawer overlay is the amount of material that extends beyond the cabinet opening and rests against the cabinet surfaces. In the industry, 1/2 inch is standard. Learn how to measure the size of a drawer front using an empty space in two simple steps:
Get your width and height: Measure the inside edge of the drawer opening for the width and height.
Compensate for overlay: Add one inch to each measurement, creating 1/2 inch overlay on every side.
