💡 Pro trick: Take your old door (or a very clear photo with measurements) to the supplier. They can identify the style and check stock. Much easier than guessing from a catalogue.

Good to Know
📏 Measure precisely - cupboard doors need exact sizing. A few millimeters out and it won't fit or look wrong. Width, height, AND thickness all matter.
Finding matches:
- Take old door to supplier
- Photos help
- Model/range name if known
- Accept close match may be needed
Whole kitchen refresh:
- If multiple doors damaged or wanting style change
- All doors at once is efficient
- Significant visual transformation
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you match my existing doors?
Often yes - many kitchen and bedroom door styles are standard. Older styles are harder. Send me a photo and measurements and I can check availability. If exact match isn't possible, we can discuss alternatives.
Is replacing doors cheaper than a new kitchen?
Significantly cheaper. If your carcasses are sound but the doors are tired, replacing just the doors transforms the look for a fraction of full kitchen cost.
Can I change the door style?
Yes - as long as new doors are the same size and use compatible hinges. You can go from raised panel to shaker, or plain to gloss. It's a chance to update without replacing the whole kitchen.
Do replacement doors come with hinges?
Usually doors come without hinges - you often reuse existing ones. If your hinges are worn, new ones can be fitted. I'll check and advise.
