Accurate measurements are crucial when it comes to replacing or installing new kitchen cabinet doors. Taking precise measurements ensures that the doors fit perfectly, giving your kitchen a polished and professional look. In this guide, we will walk you through the step-by-step process of measuring kitchen cabinet doors, providing you with the necessary tools and tips to achieve accurate results. Let's get started!
What You'll Need
Measuring tape: A retractable measuring tape is essential for taking accurate measurements.
Notepad and pen: Use these to record your measurements and notes.
Step stool or ladder: If your kitchen cabinets are out of reach, a step stool or ladder will be necessary to access them comfortably.
Step 1: Prepare your area
Before you begin measuring, ensure that your kitchen workspace is clear and clutter-free. Remove any objects or obstacles that might hinder your access to the cabinet doors.
Step 2: Identify the cabinet doors
Examine the cabinets and identify the doors that need to be measured. This step is particularly important if you have multiple sets of cabinets or different door styles in your kitchen.
Step 3: Take height measurements
Place the end of your measuring tape at the top edge of the door, against the cabinet frame.
Extend the tape measure vertically down to the bottom edge of the door, keeping it parallel to the side of the cabinet.
Read and record the measurement in millimetres. Take the measurement in at least two different places on the door to account for any irregularities.
Step 4: Measure the width
Place one end of the measuring tape against the left edge of the door, flush against the cabinet frame.
Extend the tape measure across the width of the door until you reach the right edge.
Read and record the measurement in millimetres, again taking multiple measurements at different points along the width of the door to ensure accuracy.
Step 5: Record additional measurements
If your cabinet doors have any special features like panels or decorative elements, it's essential to measure those as well. Note down the measurements of any insets, cutouts, or details that you need to consider for replacements or customisation purposes.
Step 6: Double-check your measurements
Once you have recorded all the measurements, review them to ensure accuracy. It's always a good idea to double-check your numbers to avoid mistakes that could result in ill-fitting doors.
In addition to the measurements, make a note of the door style and quantity you require. This will be helpful when ordering or selecting new kitchen doors.
Measuring kitchen cabinet doors accurately is a crucial step to achieving a seamless and visually appealing kitchen design. By following this step-by-step guide, armed with the right tools and careful attention to detail, you can confidently measure your kitchen cabinet doors and proceed with replacements or customization. Remember to always double-check your measurements, and if in doubt, contact us at info@cutmy.co.uk. Good luck with your kitchen project!

Fast service, good quality from the company - only let down by the delivery driver who couldn't fathom out how to lift a latch on a gate and just left parcel without attempting to knock or call.

Nice website and efficient service
Nice website showing the cut piece. Good prices and reasonably quick delivery (and well packed to reduce possibility of damage). This is my second order from CutMy.
Most importantly, the pieces were accurately cut using the specified material. i.e. no errors.
It couldn't have been better unless it was free :)

This was my first time using Cut My supplier to cut a piece of wood to a specific size. I am very happy with the service i received from them.
My order arrived safe, securely wrapped and in good condition.
I will recommend this supplier to friends and will use them again for this type of service.

Perfect solution.
Great quality smoky perspex cut to the exact spec to replace actual glass on my coffee table in order to make it child proof. It fits perfectly and looks like the real McCoy! Saved me buying a new coffee table. Win, win👌
Placing order was very straight forward. Acrylic sheets arrived very quickly and extremely well packed with protective film either side.
The 4mm thick Acrylic sheets now installed, very clear and without scratches or marks. I would recommend this Company.

New Shed Windows
I was initially a little worried about some of the recent negative reviews but based on my experience, I can't fault Cut/My's perspex service. Excellent quality materials, delivered on the day promised, size absolutely spot-on. My shed's now got new windows.
