Benefits of Replacement Cabinet Doors
Think of all the rooms in your home that have cabinets in them—the kitchen, bathroom, office, rec room, mud room, laundry room, etc. After years of being opened and closed, touched and cleaned, those doors can start to look very worn out, or at least out of date. However, behind that expired door is a cabinet that might still be perfectly sturdy and functional. There are lots of compelling reasons to use replacement kitchen cabinet doors and drawer fronts instead of getting entirely new cabinets, including:
-
Cost - Replacement cabinet doors cost much less than replacing kitchen cabinets entirely. With something like replacement bathroom cabinet doors, it doesn’t have to take a big budget to make a big impact.
-
Commitment - Renovating a whole room can take weeks and cause a huge mess, but replacing just the cabinet doors is quick and causes hardly any disruption to your home. If you will have guests in your house sometime soon, you probably still have time to make a major home upgrade in the form of replacement cabinet doors.
-
Complexity - If you like DIY projects but aren’t up for renovating your whole kitchen yourself, replacing your doors is both fun and manageable. The fact that it’s so easy also helps keep the costs down because you don’t have to hire a contractor.
-
Consequence - Despite being accessible and affordable, replacement cabinet doors can transform an entire space, not just the cabinets. If you have a room that feels worn, unpleasant, or outdated, replacement cabinet doors with a different finish and style may be all you need to upgrade your space.
Why Is It So Difficult to Find Replacement Cabinet Doors in the Exact Size Needed?
Finding replacement cabinet doors in a specific size can be surprisingly problematic because there are no "standard" sizes of cabinets, meaning there’s no standard size for the doors they use either. There are thousands of individual custom cabinet makers across the country, and each one has their own standard. That's why hardware stores don't stock replacements for every cabinet door—there are just too many different sizes.
Here is the math that illustrates why stocking all cabinet door sizes, in all styles, is impossible:
-
Typical door widths are from 8-inches wide, to 30-inches wide. This width-span would need to offer sizes from 8" to 30" in 1/16th inch increments, to fit all possible door-width needs.
-
The 1/16" steps, from 8 to 30-inches, would require 352 different widths. (30 - 8 = 22 x 16 = 352)
The same math applies to door heights:
-
Typical height is from 8" to 60".
-
The 1/16" steps, from 8 to 60-inches would require 832 different heights. (60 - 8 = 52 x 16 = 832)
Multiplying the required widths by the required heights gives 292,000 door sizes. (352 x 832 = 292,864) Clearly, stocking 292,000 door sizes in each of the 40 most popular door styles, and in ten different wood types, just isn’t feasible. That would require an inventory of over 117 million cabinet doors, assuming only one of each was stocked (292,864 x 40 x 10 = 117,146,000)! So how can you replace kitchen cabinet doors only if the stores don’t stock the sizes you need?
Thankfully, when you order your replacement cabinet doors from The Door Stop, you won't need to settle for sizes that are "close-to" or "almost the correct size". Since you’re able to order directly from the actual factory, you can order the "exact size" you need, right down to the nearest 1/16-inch. In other words, you can get custom-sized replacement kitchen cabinet doors and drawer fronts, so each cabinet door front replacement fits exactly as it should.
How to Determine Replacement Cabinet Doors Cost
Replacement Cabinet Doors are built to the nearest 1/6th of an inch, to fit perfectly over your opening, depending on the overlay that you choose. We price everything by the square foot, which determined by the door style, wood type and finish options. So if you need a Cabinet Door that's 12 7/16" wide by 27 15/16" high, that's no problem. The price of your door is calculated by the square-feet of the door's area. An example calculation of the cost is shown below.
For example let’s say you’re ordering a Shaker replacement kitchen cabinet door in an unfinished paint grade wood. Sized at 12 7/16” x 27 15/16” (area of 2.413 Sq. Ft). If the cost-per-square-foot for that door is $12.72, the cost for this door will be $12.72 x 2.413, or $30.69 each.
A door sized in even-inch dimensions makes the math easier to follow, but the price is figured the same way. So whether you need doors sized in even-inch increments or 1/16-inch increments, it doesn't make a difference to us, the price is still figured by the size of the door in square-feet. If you’re not a math whiz, don’t worry. We’ll calculate the cost of your door for you when you enter the size you need on our ordering pages.

Replacement Cabinet Door FAQs
Can you replace just cabinet doors?
Yes, you can certainly replace only your cabinet doors for a great way to refresh your kitchen space.

Make sure to order from a specialized cabinet door manufacturer, like CabinetDoors.com, as many manufacturers require that you buy a complete door and frame and base setup.
Are cabinet doors expensive?
The price of cabinet doors can vary depending on the style, finish, and wood species of the cabinet door that you order.

How much do replacement cabinet doors cost?
The cost of replacement cabinet doors depends on several factors, like the type of wood used, the style of the door, and the finish used. Adding up these factors and the amount of wood you need in square footage will help you determine the price. The cost of replacement doors is much cheaper when you buy doors from a custom manufacturer that offers warehouse pricing.
Can I replace cabinet doors by myself?
Replacing cabinet doors makes for a great DIY project since it only requires a few tools and can be as simple or as complicated as you make it. You can even choose to order paint-grade doors if you prefer to do the finishing process yourself. If you want to decrease the work you need to do, you can also order doors with the holes pre-drilled for the hinges.
Where to buy cabinet doors?
You can buy cabinet doors from various sources, including online sites or home improvement stores. However, many stores have limited options or require that you buy a whole cabinet system.
