WHAT HAVE YOU REPLACED CUPBOARD DOORS WITH

[peter92]

HI every one
Ive asked this question because all of my cupboard doors need replacing and would like to know what you replaced the old doors with
Ive been told by other people to use chip board, 10mm pine ply, 12mm hard wood ply ans so on
so would be a great help to hear from others that have done it also keeping yours weight factor in mind
some pics of them would be good also please
Regards Peter

Hi Peter, I am intending on building new cupboard doors exactly like the old ones. A basic frame with 3mm ply covering the back of the frame, and 3mm ply forming the face (larger than the frame). Wish me luck though as I havent commenced yet!

Peter, I did my doors a different way to the normal.



These were made out of Tassie oak, but in the Millard I have just done I used Maple as it was the only 3 mm ply that I could access without a huge cost. The corners have a small biscuit join, rebated on the back and the ply is nailed and glued into place. The ones in this picture have been in use now for over 10 years. They are light and strong also. Might give you some other ideas.

Thanks Graham
They look very nice, you did a good job, will have to look into that idea
not sure on how wide to do the trim yet as my doors are small but will find out how much all the timber will cost and see how it goes
Regards Peter
