FAQs
What is the difference between framed and frameless cabinetry?
Framed cabinetry features a solid wood frame around the front of the cabinet box, to which the hinges are attached. Frameless cabinetry, also known as European style, relies on a thicker box construction and the doors are attached directly to the sides. Frameless units are often considered a mechanical necessity for those seeking maximum storage space and a sleek, contemporary look.
How do I choose the correct hinge for my cabinet doors?
Choosing the right hinge hardware depends on whether your door is overlay (sitting on top of the frame) or inset (sitting flush inside the frame). You must also consider the opening angle required. Most modern installations utilize a 110-degree concealed hinge with integrated soft-close technology for the best balance of access and quiet operation.
Can I replace the drawer runners on my existing cabinets?
Yes, replacing drawer runners is a common way to upgrade old furniture. You must measure the depth of your drawer box and the clearance between the drawer and the cabinet side. Upgrading to ball bearing slides or full-extension runners is a simple way to improve the mechanical performance of your cabinetry & parts without a full remodel.
Why are adjustable cabinet legs better than a solid wood base?
Adjustable legs are a vital piece of hardware because they allow you to level each unit independently, which is a necessity on uneven floors. They also keep the timber carcass of the cabinet off the ground, protecting it from potential dampness or spills. A clip-on plinth is then used to hide the legs and create a unified finish.
What tools are required to install new cabinet handles?
For a professional finish, you will need a drill, a screwdriver, and a cabinet handle template. The template is a vital piece of hardware that ensures every handle is positioned exactly the same distance from the edges of the door, preventing costly mistakes and ensuring your cabinetry & parts look perfectly aligned.
