The kitchen cabinets are important
parts of the kitchen. The kitchen will look bad and uninteresting when the
doors are broken or worn out. If your cabinet doors are broken, you will need
to do replacement for kitchen cabinet doors. If you plan to replace the entire
kitchen cabinets, it can be very pricey. It would be better to replace only the
worn out doors instead of replacing the whole cabinets. It does not only save
you money but also your time and energy.
In addition to money saving, to make
replacement
for kitchen cabinet doors is very easy to do. This project needs a
couple of hours to complete depending on how many worn out doors you want to
replace. To do this project you will need these things with you: knobs or
handles, screwdriver, new cabinet doors and drill. When all items you need have
been prepared, follow the steps below to replace your kitchen cabinet doors.
- Unscrew
the old doors from the hinges and remove them. You do not need to move the
hinges but keep them attached to the cabinet boxes.
- With the
hinges installed on the cabinet boxes, attach a new door to them. While holding
the door up to the hinges, make a mark to know where you should put the
screws into the hinges.
- You
need to pre-drill the screws’ holes so that you do not split the wood of
your new cabinet door. Pre-drilling the screw’s hole will help you screw
the door right onto the hinges easily. However, you may not tighten the
screws carelessly or you may damage the wood. Before tightening the screws,
you need to adjust the door and the hinge to make sure they are on the
right level.
- After
placing the new door, you can place the knobs or handles on the right
position you want. After knowing the right place, then make a mark. Make a
precise measurement from the bottom of the cabinet and in from the side to
that mark. Make sure that all the knobs or handles are in the same place
on each door by making a mark on each cabinet.
- Attach
the knobs or handles after pre-drilling the screws’ holes. Tighten the
screws and your replacement for kitchen cabinet doors is
accomplished.
If possible, you can do replacement for kitchen cabinet doors
yourself; otherwise, you can ask someone’s help for better result.
