How to Measure Cabinet Doors and Drawer Fronts Here's a brief description on how to measure your doors and drawer fronts for your cabinet door order.

If your not sure how to do this, you want to can get a local cabinet maker or independent cabinet refacer to help you!

This method will allow for a 1/2" overlay of cabinet openings. Make sure there is at least 5/8" clearing around all openings. Instructions are based on using Quality Doors’ #900, 900B or 900C hinges.

Measuring Openings: Always write the width first.
• Measure all door openings, including drawer fronts and false fronts, to the nearest 1/8” and write sizes on a scratch pad (F.1 and F.2). To prevent ordering errors, it’s best to measure each opening twice. DOORS AND DRAWER FRONTS WILL BE CUSTOM - MADE TO THE SIZES YOU SPECIFY. DO NOT ORDER BY OPENING SIZES.

Figuring Order Sizes:
• Add 1” to the width and 1” to the height of each opening size. When figuring “ORDERNG SIZE” for split door openings (two doors covering the same opening), add 1” to the height; then add 1” to the width and divide by 2 and subtract 1/1 6. This allows for 1/8” gap between doors. Enter final sizes on order form.
Split Door Example: 36”+1”=37”, 37”÷2”=181/2”, 181/2”-1/1 6”=187/1 6”
ORDER TWO DOORS TO COVER ANY OPENING MORE THAN 22” WIDE.

Ordering:
• Use the order form to enter actual custom sizes you wish to order.

Mullion and Frame Only Doors: Glass not included with Mullion or Frame Only Doors.
• On the order form under options, enter (FO) for frame only, enter (ML) for mullions plus the number of lites (openings). See example below.

Quantity	Design #	Edge #	Options
6	301	119	ML4 (mullions with 4 lites) 2BR 4BL (2 doors bore right, 4 doors bore left)
2	300	119	FO (frame only)
1	716HV3	191	ML6 (mullion with 6 lites) BR (bore right)
1	504	115	ML4 (mullion inserts 4 lites)

When ordering special designs:(#389,#388,#382), indicate door design and edge design along with numbers of lites (openings).

• Lazy Susan or special edge doors: Indicate requirements under options and attach a special note on ordering form.

• Boring for arched doors (like door design #301): Indicate under options (BL) bore left (hinge on left), (BR) bore right (hinge on right), (BP) bore in pairs. See example below.

Note: Skip this step if you have decided to paint your existing cabinet boxes

• Face frames are the front frames where cabinet doors and drawer fronts attach. It is not necessary to measure face frames surrounding cabinet openings. Most professionals order one 2’ x 8’ sheet of self-adhesive covering (SAC) for every 10 doors (based on an average-size door of 15 x 25). (Example: for 15 doors order 2 sheets) Order more if you plan to cover other large areas. Enter SAC-Wood for real wood veneer or SAC-RTF for RTF self-adhesive covering under design on order form.

• When ordering a door to cover end panels, indicate 115 square edge in the option portion of the ordering form.

• We suggest cut-to-size plywood to cover end panels instead of ordering self-adhesive covering (SAC). Order by entering “ plywood” under design on the ordering form.
