Step 2: Customizations

Choose Your Preferred Cabinet Door Finish

• Paint: Whether you opt for our unfinished cabinet doors, perfect for painting, or prefer the convenience of our 9 stunning neutral painted cabinet door options ready for immediate installation, we have you covered. If you desire a color outside our range, explore our 2-coat pre-primed cabinet doors.

• Clear Coat: If you adore the natural beauty of wood, protecting your cabinets from everyday wear and tear with a clear coat is an excellent choice. We recommend our select grade for clear coat cabinetry. Additionally, we offer pre-finished clear coat cabinet doors that are ready to install.

• Stain: To infuse warmth and enhance the colors in your space, stained wood cabinets are an ideal solution. For staining, we recommend our select grade unfinished wood cabinet doors. Please note that MDF cannot be stained.

• Pre-primed: Our pre-primed cabinet doors offer a convenient and ready-to-paint solution, saving you time and effort in achieving the perfect finish.

• Laminate: For a hassle-free, finished product ready for immediate installation, Thermofoil cabinet doors are an excellent option. Please be aware that Thermofoil cannot be painted, stained, or sealed.

Choose Your Preferred Material (Various Wood Types or Thermofoil)

Curious about the distinction between red oak natural and red oak select? Let us explain.

Our door styles are available in a wide range of materials, offering you ample options. Please note that Laminate always comes with an MDF core.

• Paint Grade Wood: This type of wood is particularly well-suited for painting due to its natural imperfections, such as mineral deposits or sap discoloration. All MDF falls into the paint-grade category.
• Natural Grade Wood: Natural grade wood may exhibit green tints from sapwood or discoloration, but it boasts a more uniform grain pattern. While it can be clear coated or stained, it may not achieve perfect evenness. Natural grade wood works beautifully in rustic and industrial designs.
• Select Grade Wood: Among the available options, select grade wood stands out for its exceptional uniformity in color and grain pattern. It is the ideal material for staining or applying a clear coat, providing stunning results.

Choose Your Preferred Outside Edge

We take pride in offering customizable outside edges for the majority of our cabinet doors and drawer fronts. Explore our outside edge guide to discover the array of options available. Here are some standout outside edges worth considering:

• Simple and Clean Options: For those seeking clean lines and uniformity, the OE1 and OE3 are excellent choices. The OE1 is prominently featured on our popular shaker style doors and complements both modern and traditional themes. The OE3, on the other hand, boasts a subtle bullnose edge, adding a touch of distinction.
• Add a Splash of Personality: If you desire an element of intrigue for your cabinet doors, the OE4 or OE10 might be perfect for you. The OE4 showcases a 9/16" wide and 3/16" tall routed edge. Meanwhile, the OE10 features a 1/16" step row transitioning to a 5/16" tall quarter round detail. Whichever option you select, custom edge detailing offers a fantastic opportunity to personalize your cabinets and match your unique style.

Please note that not all outside edges are available for every door due to variations in door thicknesses and styles.

Glass/Lite Options Available

Many of our cabinet doors can accommodate glass panel inserts, providing an elegant and versatile design choice. You have a variety of styles to choose from, including options for open glass or configurations with 4, 6, or 8 lites. Please note that while we offer the door frames, glass panels are not provided by us.

To complete your glass panel installation, you will need to source a suitable glass panel and secure it using stops. For your convenience, we recommend our easy-to-install and uninstall rubber stops. They offer a reliable and hassle-free solution. Remember, the glass panels themselves are not included with our products.

Create a stunning display with our glass/lite options, adding a touch of sophistication to your cabinet doors.

Prebore Service for Convenient Hinge Installation

We offer the option to have your doors pre-bored for European or concealed style hinges, ensuring a hassle-free installation process. This means that we will professionally bore the necessary holes in the back of the door, making it ready for its hinges upon arrival.

When it comes to pre-boring, there are two essential measurements to consider: placement and distance. Placement refers to the space from the top or bottom of the cabinet door to the center of the bore-hole or cup. For your convenience, we offer a standard placement of 3 inches.

The distance measurement can be a bit more complex. It is determined by the measurement from the edge or side of the cabinet door to the nearest point of the bore-hole or cup. We provide two distance options with different patterns for your specific needs.

For cup and dowel hinges, we offer the "A" and "B" patterns. These hinges are "press in" style and utilize special screws and plastic dowels for attachment. They are recommended for thermofoil doors to prevent any damage to the coating. The difference between the patterns lies in the bore distance measurement: the "A" pattern has a 5mm distance, while the "B" pattern has a 3mm distance.

Alternatively, we also offer the "T" and "U" bore patterns, which are designed for cup-only hinges. These hinges are of the "screw-on" style and are ideal for customers who wish to reuse their existing hinges. The bore distance differs between the patterns, with the "T" pattern featuring a 5mm distance and the "U" pattern featuring a 3mm distance.

With our prebore service, you can enjoy the convenience of having your doors prepared for hinge installation, saving you time and effort.
