Shaker Wardrobe Door

Measure from the top or bottom of the door to the middle of the hinge hole.

We have a handy guide to help with measuring for hinge holes if you need it.

Can't I just add hinge holes myself?

Yes, with the right, specialised tools you can but if you're working on a project with multiple doors, having pre-drilled hinge holes ensures consistency in the placement of hinges and saves you the time and effort of adding them yourself.

Properly drilled hinge holes reduce the risk of splitting the wood when inserting screws to attach the hinges. Splitting can weaken the wood and compromise the integrity of the hinge attachment so it’s important these are done correctly by a professional.

How do I add hinge holes to my order?

Step 1. Choose a door orientation:

• Left-Hand Door - swings to the left when you open it
• Right-Hand Door - swings to the right when you open it

Step 2. Let us know where you want the hinges to be on the door. You can add measurements from the top or bottom of the door to the middle of the hinge hole.

Cost: £4 each

For larger wardrobe door sizes, between 1500mm and 2200mm, we'd recommend using 3 hinges.

Hinge holes must be positioned at least 70mm from the edge of the sheet and 70mm from each other.

You can add up to 5 hinge holes, if you need more please contact us.

Supports standard 35mm screw-in hinges - not included.

Our hinge holes use the standard 35mm hinge hole drilling pattern suitable for Blum hinges. It is important to note that there may be variations in the design of your existing hinges. Before placing your order, we strongly recommend checking that our hinge holes are compatible with your current hinge sizes. If you are unsure, please contact our customer service team who will be happy to help you. It is worth highlighting that hinges are replaceable and opting for new hinges presents additional advantages, such as the incorporation of features like soft closing doors if you do not already have this.

A midrail is a horizontal bar or rail positioned in the middle of a door which divides the door into upper and lower sections. Midrails can be both functional to add support and for aesthetics, to add visual interest and break up the surface of the door, contributing to a more detailed and appealing appearance.

We recommend you add a midrail if your door is above 1700mm high as they provide additional structural support to large, tall doors. They help distribute the weight and stress more evenly, reducing the risk of warping or sagging over time.
