Revitalising your kitchen area is a fairly easy task since kitchen base units are mostly of a standard size. This means it's possible to give their kitchen a brand new take on life by simply replacing the cupboard doors and drawer fronts with brand new ones instead of replacing all of the units too. Anyone who's handy having a screwdriver can usually fit replacement kitchen doors so don't feel you have to employ a joiner or handyman unless your DIY skills are likely to bring the home down.
The very first thing you have to ensure may be the sizes from the doors you're replacing. Draw a sketch or simple diagram of your kitchen units first, then measure each door and drawer, noting the sizes in your diagram. A good joinery tip would be to measure twice and cut once, but since you will not be needing a saw with this task, the tip is measure twice and purchase once. Once you have all the sizes, take note of are you going to the doors should open as some styles have remaining and right openings.
Most kitchen units have been in standard widths of 400mm, 500mm, 600mm, 800mm and 1000mm, however, if buying replacement kitchen doors, they might be sized at 396mm, 496mm and so on, because the reduced sizing allows for the little gap among each door. Good sense tells you that the 396mm door is made to fit 400mm or 800mm kitchen base units, however the door widths may be put together by certain retailers.
Before ordering, double check that you have the left and right opening doors correct before choosing which side you need the hinge holes on each of your kitchen doors. As standard, kitchen door hinge holes are 35mm in diameter and drilled 100mm in the bottom and top from the door. Make sure your existing kitchen doors comply to those standards before placing the transaction. Whenever they not, you might want to consider ordering replacement kitchen doors with no hinge holes pre-drilled and getting a joiner or handy man to suit the doors for you.
Assuming that everything is 'standard' and you've ensured you've ordered the right quantity of right and left opening doors to suit to your existing kitchen base units, all you need to do is fit them. Make reference to your initial sketch of your kitchen units and place each door and drawer front where they ought to go. When the order is short or incorrect, it will likely be obvious with the new kitchen doors placed where they're intended to go before you've fully unpacked them. Assuming an order is correct, you can begin replacing each door and drawer front one by one.
The hinges, becoming an industry standard should easily fit in towards the pre drilled holes without any trouble, and all you will find is each door probably isn't hanging straight. Around the unit side of the hinge you'll find two adjustment screws, just fiddle with one of these screws providing them with ¼ to ½ a turn each, close the doorway and observe the affect using the narrow gap between the doors like a guide. You'll suss out what these screws are adjusting after you have lined up a few doors, as well as for all subsequent doors you'll be flying. Failing that, there are many 'how to' videos on you tube which will help.
