Buying Guide & FAQ's
Our buying guide and frequently asked questions below, will help you to complete your order and answer any questions about how to purchase our products:
How do I measure my doors?
- Using the back of the door (as it will be completely flat), measure (in millimetres).
- Measure from top to bottom (for the Height)
- Then the distance from left to right (for the Width).
- Its essential to measure your door rather than your unit that the door will go onto, this is because doors are always a few mm smaller than the unit.
- See ‘Why is my door smaller than my carcass/unit'
How do I measure my hinge holes?
- Measure from the Top or Bottom of the door to the centre of the related hinge hole in millimetres.
- If You are having a Top hung door, you will need to measure from Left to Right.
- We offer a 'Hinge Hole' drilling service for your convenience as well as precision, which corresponds with standard Hinges (allow additional day for this service).
- Hinge hole drilling is 35mm x 13mm deep at only £2 per door -(Available in product options)
How do I see which way my door is hung?
- The best way to find out the orientation is to imagine the door is closed on the unit.
- Whichever side the hinges are on (whilst you are facing the door) is the side it is hung from.
J Pull Handle less Design – Important Info
- If you have chosen a Handleless ‘J- Pull’ Style door :
You will need to choose if your J-Pull is for a Wall or Base unit.
If it’s a BASE UNIT DOOR – the J Profile shown above, will be at the top of the door in the correct position to pull the door open.
BASE UNIT - J Pull orientation TOP
WALL UNIT- J pull Orientation BOTTOM
If it’s a WALL UNIT DOOR the J profile will be at the bottom of the door – again for the correct position to open the door.
On the website it will look like this :

Why is my door slightly smaller than my carcass/unit?
This is for a reason* See Diagram Below:
- Each door will be 2 mm smaller either side for door clearance.
- The door is slightly smaller to allow for opening clearance, so the doors don't make contact when opening or closing.
- (Although you can slightly adjust the hinges to adjust any uneven gaps) still allowing a few millimetres for clearance.
Can you make doors in bespoke/Custom sizes?
The blue banner over the doors means they can be made to measure.
Use the calculator on the website to get an instant quote with your sizes.
Select ‘Custom’ From the drop down menu and enter your dimensions.
Where can I Find Drawers?
Each door style has various drawer options in the size drop down menu.
Having trouble finding your exact Drawer size?
Most of our Beautiful Range can be custom made, however be sure to check our conversion guide before ordering Custom Made, It could just be that modern standard sizes are slightly different - The Unit stays the same you can simply use a new combination.
Do you supply Accessories?

This link will take you to the collection of accessories for that Door.
Alternatively you can simply go to:
‘Panels, Plinths and Accessories’ at the top of the home page and select the door you would like accessories for from the drop down menu.
For example :

Why can't I find my end panel size?
- End Panels are purposely made over sized so that they can be cut down to suit your specific kitchen.
- You should order the Panel or Panel(s) which would accommodate your size, and cut them down to your exact size
- You can also purchase edging tape specifically for making good any cut edges that may be on view.
