Lipped doors on 1990s cabinets
Many cabinets from the 1990s have lipped doors that sit partly inside the frame. New doors are usually overlay style, so we plan new hinges to match.
Serving Orland Park & nearby Tinley Park, Woodridge
Made-to-measure cabinet doors and drawer fronts for your Orland Park 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 Orland Park we measure every opening, have doors and drawer fronts made in the style you choose, and install them with new hinges and pulls.
Many cabinets from the 1990s have lipped doors that sit partly inside the frame. New doors are usually overlay style, so we plan new hinges to match.
Glass inserts in selected uppers show off dishes and add light. We finish the cabinet interior so it looks right through the glass.
Damage usually stays on the lower doors. We can replace just those, though matching an old finish exactly is hard, so a full set looks best.
When drawer fronts do not line up, we correct the drawer boxes and mounting, then set each new front square.
Solid wood panels can split along the grain, and joints open at the corners. If a repair would show, a new door is cleaner.
If the shape of the doors is what bothers you, new doors are the direct fix. The boxes, counters and sink do not move.
When a door has bowed, adjustment cannot pull it straight. We make a new one to fit the opening.
Visible, sagging hinges go away with new doors. We bore each door for concealed hinges that fit your face frames.
