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.

This is my second order from Cut My
This is my second order from Cut My, both of which have been for full-height shaker wall panelling. The first order was for short stretch of hallway. This second order was for a full room, as I was so impressed with the first order. The cuts are spot-on as I ordered and the quality of the MDF is perfect for it's intended use. Delivery is prompt and overall, I remain one very happy customer. Great product and service.
