Choosing kitchen cabinet doors

• Recessed cabinet doors– The pocket door style has been around since the early 20th century. Back then the cabinet frame only supported this style of cabinet doors. This style features small hinges on the front frame or on the visible frame of the cabinet opening, or could be inside the cabinet as well. The hinges are usually visible when the door is closed. The face of the recessed cabinet door is in the same plane as the front edge of the cabinet box. This option is slightly more expensive than other kitchen doors. It also leaves less space inside the cabinet.

• Partially overlapping cabinet doors– Partial Overlay Doors are a modern update to Pocket Doors and feature doors that mount over the front of the box. It partially covers the face frame thus giving the structure its name. The front bezel reduces the accessible space inside the cabinet, but still allows for more functional hardware to be installed if needed. Sometimes the look can be overwhelming and make you look awkward. This style is good for spacious kitchens to make them appear larger in terms of space. The hinges are sometimes visible and sometimes hidden.

• Full overlay or European cabinet doors– These are absolutely the newest looking kitchen doors. The name is derived from the face of the door that completely covers the box, meaning that it not only covers the opening but the entire face of the box. There is no visible front frame and the hinges are also hidden. It has a great finish and allows maximum space inside the cabinet. However, these require a bit of maintenance effort, particularly with the knobs.
