How to Measure

Precision is everything. Accurate measurements ensure your new cabinet doors and drawer fronts fit perfectly the first time.

Replacing Existing?

Simply measure your old doors and order the exact same size.

New Installation?

Follow instructions below to measure your new doors and drawer fronts.

Cabinet Dimensions
1

Decide the Overlay.

Choose how much of the face frame the new door/drawer front will cover on each side (e.g., 1/2").

2

Measure the Opening.

Measure the width and height of the cabinet opening the piece will cover.

3

Add the Overlay to both sides.

Since the overlay applies to left + right and top + bottom, add twice the overlay to each dimension.
Finished Width = Opening Width + (2 x overlay)
Finished Height = Opening Height + (2 x overlay).

4

Center when Installing.

When centered over the opening, the piece will overlay the face frame by your chosen amount (1/2" in the example) all the way around.

5

Leave Clearance.

If you change the overlay amount, make sure there's enough space between adjoining doors and drawer fronts so everything opens and closes smoothly.

Note: Double doors use a different calculation than the single-piece method above. (The steps here apply to single doors and drawer fronts.)

Calculating Square Footage

(W x H) ÷ 144
