Good to Know
📏 Match your doors - if replacing doors too, do everything at once. Drawer fronts and doors from the same order will be consistent in colour and finish.
Buying drawer fronts:
- Measure existing exactly
- Match door style and colour
- Check thickness is same
- Order doors and fronts together
Handle position:
- Measure from existing front
- Centre carefully
- Drill from front with tape (prevents chip)
- Same position as doors looks best
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the drawer front separate from the drawer?
Yes - most kitchen drawers have a separate decorative front panel attached to the drawer box. The front can be replaced without touching the drawer mechanism.
Can you match existing drawer fronts?
Many styles are standard. Take photos and measurements - we can often source matching fronts. If exact match isn't possible, replacing all drawer fronts gives consistent look.
What if the drawer box is damaged too?
Drawer boxes can often be repaired or replaced separately. We'll assess and advise. Sometimes just the front is enough.
Should I replace all fronts at once?
For a consistent look, yes. But single damaged fronts can be replaced if style matches. It depends whether you can get an exact match.
