SIMPLE Cabinet Upgrade | BEGINNER'S GUIDE to Replacing Cabinet Doors

Save a ton of time and money by refacing your cabinets! We all know how time consuming and costly it may be to replace multiple cabinets, especially since you may have to hire a professional to do the work. In this video, I will show you the steps involved to upgrade your cabinets with a fresh and modern look by doing a full overlay cabinet conversion. I personally believe that this project can be done by anyone with very limited experience, and is a massive DIY upgrade for a bathroom or kitchen!

Watched so many cabinet measurement videos and keep coming back to this one! Your explanation is spot on and easy to follow. Thank you

[@UpNorthHandyman]

Thank you I am glad the video can help you!

[@babyv956]

Would love to see a Kitchen version of this!! Overall very informative 😊

[@UpNorthHandyman]

Thank you! I will be doing a kitchen video in the future, as it will cost less than replacing all of the cabinets!

[@mattjackson]

Thanks! It was great how you covered every step in detail and broke it down for everyone. Excellent work!

[@UpNorthHandyman]

[@sarikasabnis2369]

This is great! I’m upgrading some basic stock cabinets for my kitchen and this door upgrade tutorial is super helpful. Thank you for including so much detail!

[@UpNorthHandyman]

I'm really glad to hear that the video helped you out, thanks!

[@Harley24986]

This took so long to find and is exactly what I needed! Really didn't want to have to remove the existing face frames if I didn't have too but really wanted the full cabinet door look. Thank you so much for this!

[@UpNorthHandyman]

Absolutely!

Good info! 1/2” reveal for cabinets adjacent to a wall to allow for door opening. Is that the standard to use?

I needed to replace a door that was broken off at one of the hinges, but the old hinge had the small holes (with inserts) screwed into the door at a different location closer to the edge of the door, and my replacement hinge, requires a 3/8 inch hold drilled into the door about 1/2 inch further into the back of the door. This means I will have 2 holes drilled into the back of the door. and then I have to insert the rubber/plastic inserts and then screw the hinges into this insert. Is this OK to do...?

Thank you!

[@kevinb7026]

No mention of the center gap between the two doors so there is clearance to open. You would subtract 1/2 of that form the width of each door.

[@tammyshaw5895]

I was wondering about that myself. From what I've seen around, is a minimum of 1/4 gap in between doors

[@TheJLMDT]

Great video! Very informative. Sorry if I missed it, but did you say whether you built the doors or ordered them from an online site? I've been wanting to do this to my kitchen from the day I bought my house two years ago. I'm lucky to have a lot of cabinet space in my kitchen, but now that I'm really committing to making the change, it's looking like too much work to build the doors myself

[@UpNorthHandyman]

Thanks! I ordered them online from cabinet door world, it didn't cost that much more to order them and it made sense since I only needed 3 panels. They were good quality builds and had great customer service.

[@Julie-he6gu]

This was my question too!!! Thanks, I'll have this resource for later.

[@jb0956]

Great instructional video!

[@naomeefreedman9194]

Hi, is it possible to change the look of raised kitchen cabinets on a budget? The condition are excellent, just the fronts would be great, everything is structurally sound. Thanks for your time

[@UpNorthHandyman]

If you are just changing the doors and hinges then absolutely!

[@christopherdunn5799]

Apologies if I missed this, but where did you buy your hinges? Having a hard time finding hinges for faced cabinets. Trying to pull my 70's oak kitchen into the modern age.

[@UpNorthHandyman]

www.cabinetdoorworld.com/ The hinges I ordered were 1.5" overlay.

[@jgn1977]

I would have done a 1/4 gap between the 2 doors as well. As it is now, the outside of your doors don't match up exactly with the panel at the top and the gaps are uniform. Super nit picky sure but if you're going through all the effort anyways, might as well.

[@UpNorthHandyman]

Thanks for the tips!

[@AS-pu7tr]

Would this process be the same for a working drawer? Could you just take the measurements, order the front, remove the old front and screw the new one on?

[@UpNorthHandyman]

Absolutely!

[@doogsterproductions]

Where did you get your 1.5 inch overlay hinges?

[@UpNorthHandyman]

I ordered the hinges online from cabinet door world along with the doors.

[@ratchetgang1557]

Where can I find those pulls you installed?

[@UpNorthHandyman]

Hi there, I ordered the pulls from Menards, and the doors and hinges online from Cabinet Door World.

[@chrbx13]

How did you make the shaker doors?

[@UpNorthHandyman]

I ordered them online from cabinet door world, it didn't cost that much more to order them vs build, and it made sense since 1 only needed 3 panels. They were good quality builds and had great customer service

[@laxmankesavan7253]

What finish did you put on the doors? Was it just paint?

[@UpNorthHandyman]

I used aerosol white and aerosol clear coat.

[@amiefowler]

Did you buy the doors in the correct sizes or make them?

[@UpNorthHandyman]

I ordered them online from cabinet door world, it didn't cost that much more to order them vs build, and it made sense since 1 only needed 3 panels. They were good quality builds and had great customer service

[@FairBaku]

Where did you get doors and false door from?

[@UpNorthHandyman]

I ordered them online from Cabinet Door World. I do have to say I was impressed with the quality and the measurements were spot on. It took about 5 weeks to get them though, which is the only downside to ordering them vs building them yourself. In my opinion there is little to no cost savings when you are only building a few doors!

[@melis6294]

Cabinet door World is a scamming company. They have 1.29 writing on reviews many complaints of people not getting their orders at all or getting the wrong size many times and the delays are extreme.

[@lindaboyd2905]

Wish I can hire you to replace my cabinet doors

[@UpNorthHandyman]

Thanks!

[@joyfour4995]

What kind of wood did you use?

[@UpNorthHandyman]

The doors are made of hard maple 🍁

[@markanderson4353]

Where do you buy these cabinet doors??

[@UpNorthHandyman]

I ordered them online from cabinet door world, it didn't cost that much more to order them vs build, and it made sense since I only needed 3 panels. They were good quality builds and had great customer service.

[@sladeoriginal]

Soooooo did you make the doors?

[@UpNorthHandyman]

No, I ordered them online from cabinet door world, it didn't cost that much more to order them vs make and it made sense since I only needed 3 panels. They were good quality builds and had great customer service.

[@vanettefitzgerald5293]

You didn't indicate where you ordered your cabinet doors
