What is MDF?
MDF, medium density fiberboard, is an engineered wood product that was developed commercially in the 1980’s. This wood product is formed by breaking down wood into wood fibers or clumps of fibers, similar to the paper-making process. These fibers are then assembled into a thick mat, which is then heated and pressed to the desired thickness. The process rapidly removes any moisture and causes the adhesive to strongly bind the fibers together. We use. double refined door grade product.
How thick are the doors?
Wood doors are 3/4" thick. MDF doors are 5/8" thick.
Is the glass included when ordering doors with glass inserts?
No, we supply the hardware to install the glass to the back of the doors. The doors are not routed on the back, the glass fits over the opening.
How do I measure for the doors?
The best way to measure for both wood and MDF doors for a cabinet with a face frame is to measure the opening and add 1 inch to the width and height. (For example if the opening is 17” wide and 29” high, the door size should be 18” X 30”). This will leave a ½” overlay around the opening. If the cabinets are frameless, measure the exact size of the old doors. If you have 1 opening and need 2 doors, simply measure the opening of the width, add 1 inch and divide by 2, the height will not be affected. (For example if the opening is 24" wide and 29" high, the 2 doors should be 12 1/2" X 30" each). DOORS WILL BE MADE TO THE EXACT SIZE SPECIFIED ON THE ORDER FORM.
What are hidden European hinges?
These are European Concealed hinges that are installed (routed) into the interior of doors and then attached to the cabinet frame. Our hinges require a ½” overlay. When the doors are closed you will not see any hinge. We drill the holes and can supply the hinges, you simply insert the hinge in the hole, turn the 2 screws 1/4" and the door is ready to be installed onto the cabinet frame. (See Picture)
Why do I need to pick left or right placement for the hinges on Eyebrow and Cathedral doors?
Since these doors can only be hung in one direction, in order for the door to swing the right way, we need to know which side to install the hinges. Square, Slab, Mission, Shaker and Shaker Beadboard doors can be flipped, so it doesn't matter which side the hinges are on.
Where are the hinges positioned on the doors?
The hinges are placed approximately 5 ½” down from the top and 5 ½” up from the bottom depending on the size of the door.
