How to use the cabinet door/drawer configurator:Â Â
- This pertains to both cabinet doors and drawer fronts.
- Measure the width and height of the cabinet opening in inches and fractional size,
- The cabinet door/drawer overlay is how much you want the cabinet door/drawer to "overlay" on the cabinet opening or cabinet frame and determines the size of the hinge you'll use. The most common overlays are 1/2" for partial overlay cabinet doors and 1 1/4" for full overlay cabinet doors. If your current cabinet door overlays the cabinet opening 1/2" on all four sides and you plan on using the same overlay or current cabinet hinges, then select 1/2" overlay on the cabinet overlay section. If not, then you can select a different overlay size. Just remember, the size of the overlay = the size of the overlay hinge. (1/2" overlay = 1/2" overlay hinge)

Example -
- Using your measurements for the cabinet opening, type in 16 1/4" in the width column and then type in 24 1/2" in the height column.Â
- If you wanted to use 1/2" overlay/hinge then you would select the .5 or 1/2" overlay
- You will then see the actual cabinet door size that you would need to order based on the information you plugged into the configurator.
- The cabinet door size would be 17 1/4" wide x 25 1/2" height.
- If you would like to adjust the overlay to a different size, then you can select the new overlay and it will re-calculate the cabinet door size.
