This guide is based on hinges with standard 35mm screw holes. Please contact us if you need more information on hinges or have any special requirements that you cannot see on our website and we will be happy to assist you.
To measure for the hinge holes in your new kitchen cabinet doors, you will need a measuring tape, ruler, pencil, marker, and a screwdriver. It will be easier to measure if you remove the kitchen door first.
For a cupboard that opens from the left or the right:
We refer to these orientations as a “Left-Hand Door” which refers to when you swing the door to the left when you open it or a “Right-Hand Door” which refers to when you swing the door to the right when you open it.
There will usually be one hinge at the top and one hinge at the bottom.
For cupboards that open upwards:
We refer to this as a "Top-Hung Door" as the hinge holes are at the top of the panel.
These are usually on the left and right sides.
Step 1) Using a screwdriver, carefully unscrew and remove the existing door from its hinges
Most cupboard doors tend to have two hinges. If you have more than two hinges, we have the option on our website to add five hinge holes to your cut-to-size sheet.
Step 2) Measure from the edge of the door to the centre of the hinge hole
Make sure to note down your measurements ready to input on our website for when you are ordering your new cabinet doors. It is important to measure each door's hinge holes as sometimes the measurements can vary from one another.
There is no need for concern regarding the measurements from the side edge of the doors, as this measurement is consistently standardized at 22.5mm to the center of the hole.
For a top hinge hole:
Measure from the top of the door to the centre of the current hinge hole in your old door.
For a bottom hinge hole:
Measure from the bottom of the door to the centre of the hinge hole in your old door.
For a left hinge hole:
Measure from the left edge of the door to the centre of the hinge hole in your old door.
For a right hinge hole:
Measure from the right edge of the door to the centre of the hinge hole.
Step 3) Ordering: Input your measurements into our website
When ordering hinge holes, it's important to take into account that the visualiser on our furniture board pages shows the inside of the cabinet door, so it may seem to you that the image is reversed.
Your measurements must be positioned at least 70mm from the edge of the sheet and 70mm apart from each other.

There were some delays along the way but am I glad I waited!
I had called before placing my order and from the outset they were very open and honest about some covid issues and explained if I did order there would be delays, but even after that, I still had the option to gain a full refund.
The product - Aluminium Composite - Copper coloured with Grain, all 7 pieces cut perfectly to the milemeter and with up to 4 sockets per cut/piece meant it was well worth using the socket/hole cutting service!
Just wish they sold edging strips to match 😉
Thank you 🙂 the kitchen looks amazing now!

Fantastic product, just a couple of thoughts…
Bought 2x3mm panels to cover a bedroom unit for surface protection. Arrived well packaged and cut perfectly to size. Panels look great. Chose the glass option and had the edges polished and you can’t tell the difference between these and glass. 2 thoughts on them however. As they are plastic, they are somewhat dust magnets because of static, and being 3mm (as I put the feet underneath) they dip if you put anything on them. Might have been better to leave the feet off. Don’t know if a thicker option might have been more sturdy. Cleaning them with anti static spray, but a bit of a battle to keep them looking clean. Other than that would still give the product and company 5 stars for service and quality.

Acrylic sheets x2 was cut to the precise measurements I required. The quality of the sheets was 100%, no scratches or marks, just crystal clear, just like glass. Used these x2 sheets for a large allotment shed. Packaging was great and the sheets well protected. Only minor thing is the company gave me a date of delivery and I received the sheets 1week after, which wasn’t a great problem, just had to wait to weather proof shed. I would use this company again if required.
