Measuring for Doors and Drawer Fronts using Our Hinges
If you’re planning on using your existing hinges and they will work with an overlay style door, then we suggest that you measure your existing doors. If you are replacing your hinges with the hinges we offer, you will use the following instructions.
Measure the existing cabinet openings. For all single doors and drawers add 1” to the width and height of the opening for the order size.
Example drawer location ( a ) Width 12 + 1 = 13 Height 4 1/2 + 1 = 5 1/2
The cabinet opening that we highlighted here (location B), will need a set of pair doors (2 doors in the same opening) Round all pair door openings to the nearest 1/8th of an inch or greater, add 1” to the opening width then divide by 2, this will give you the width of each door. Make sure you add the 1” before you divide. To figure the heights just add 1” to the opening height.
Example: W= 26 7/8 + 1 = 27 7/8 ÷ 2 = 13 15/16 width of each door. H = 20 1/8 + 1 = 21 1/8 height of each door.
“Hinge Side” is for single arch doors only, square doors can be flipped over to go on either side. On single arch doors the “Hinge Side” is the side the hinges will be on. This will determine the direction the door will open. When ordering single arch doors you have four options Right, Left, Pair (one right, one left) and Blank (for no hinges).
