For many people who are tired of looking at their dirty and outdated cabinets, the concept of remodeling comes to mind. The problem with remodeling is that it is quite an expensive endeavor to undertake and if you do it yourself it can be a huge amount of work. Fortunately, if your cabinets aren’t cracked and the internal structures are in good shape, then there’s no reason to remodel, just fix! Custom cabinet doors can change everything.

When you look at your cabinets, chances are that if you remodel, the external base frame will remain the same, as will the internal shelving, but the doors themselves will be different. You can always stain or paint the basic frame to match the doors, and giving your cabinets a facelift with new doors is extremely easy, plus much cheaper and less labor intensive. In fact, it’s so easy that you can do it yourself without even worrying about hiring an expert who can charge you a ridiculous hourly rate.

Custom cabinet doors can be found at most home improvement stores and online. Often you can keep the hinges you have and just unbolt the old cabinet and put on the new one. Since most cabinet doors use the same general screw placement, this is simply a swapping process much like removing any door in your house or bedroom and putting on a new one. This is actually easier than making the door, but you want to have two people during this process, one to hold the door in place and one to drive the screws into the custom cabinet hinges/doors. If the holes are not already screwed in, you can easily create them with a drill bit and the old hinge placed over the door.

You’ll be amazed at the difference custom cabinet doors can make in your kitchen. Some people actually find this so easy and affordable that they will change their cabinets every two years just to give their kitchen a fresh look. You can also add accessories like handles to further customize the cabinet doors!
