Step-by-Step Guide to Measuring Kitchen Doors
Here's a clear, step-by-step approach to ensure you get the correct measurements for your new kitchen doors:
- Close the door: Begin by closing the cabinet door that you wish to measure for replacement. This ensures a more accurate measurement against the cabinet frame.
- Mark the hinge side: Make a pencil mark on the cabinet frame along the outside edge of the cabinet door, specifically on the hinge side. This provides a reference point for measurement after removing the door.
- Remove the door: Carefully remove the cabinet door from the hinges. This will give you unobstructed access for measuring.
- Measure: Use a measuring tape to measure the distance between the pencil mark you made on the cabinet frame and the inside edge of the cabinet frame. This measurement will give you the precise width of the replacement door.
- Important Notes:
- Measure each door individually, as slight variations can occur.
- It's generally best to measure to the nearest millimeter to ensure a proper fit.
- Always double-check your measurements to avoid errors.
By following this simple process, you can accurately measure for replacement kitchen doors and ensure that your new doors fit perfectly.
