Lipped doors on 1970s cabinets
Older lipped doors cannot be swapped one for one with modern doors. We size the new overlay doors and hinges for your frame openings.
Serving Bloomingdale & nearby Roselle, Glendale Heights
Made-to-measure cabinet doors and drawer fronts for your Bloomingdale kitchen, hung on the cabinet boxes you already have.
New doors are the most direct way to change how cabinets look when the boxes are fine. In Bloomingdale we measure every opening, have doors and drawer fronts made in the style you choose, and install them with new hinges and pulls.
Older lipped doors cannot be swapped one for one with modern doors. We size the new overlay doors and hinges for your frame openings.
Visible, sagging hinges go away with new doors. We bore each door for concealed hinges that fit your face frames.
A crack across a center panel or a loose rail usually means a new door. We match the style of the rest or replace the full set.
Fronts that sit unevenly or stick out past their neighbors are reset on new mounting screws when we install new fronts, so the rows line up.
Slab doors with finger pulls or edge profiles give a clean, minimal front. We check the overlay so doors still clear each other.
If the shape of the doors is what bothers you, new doors are the direct fix. The boxes, counters and sink do not move.
An added island or a few new cabinets with different doors stand out. One new door style across the kitchen ties it together.
Puffy, cracked edges on doors near water mean the core has absorbed moisture. Sanding will not help; replacement will.
