FAQs
How do I measure my kitchen doors for replacement?
To ensure that you order the correct size kitchen doors, it’s important to take accurate measurements. Measure the width and height of each door in millimeters, taking care to measure from the outer edge of the frame to the outer edge of the frame. If your doors have a bevel or slope, make sure to measure at the widest point.
Can I install the kitchen doors myself?
Yes, it is possible to install kitchen doors yourself if you have some basic DIY skills. However, it can be a time-consuming and potentially difficult task, especially if you have never done it before. If you’re unsure about your ability to install the doors yourself, we recommend hiring a professional.
How long does it take to receive my order?
Delivery times will vary depending on your location and the availability of the doors you have ordered. In most cases, orders are dispatched within 1-2 working days and delivered within 3-5 working days thereafter.

What is the average cost of replacing kitchen cabinet doors?
The average cost of replacing kitchen cabinet doors in the UK typically ranges from £20 to £100 per door, depending on the material, size, and style you choose. More affordable options like MDF or laminate doors generally cost between £20 and £50 each, while premium choices such as solid wood can range from £60 to over £100 per door. The final cost will also depend on how many doors your kitchen requires—smaller kitchens may need around 8 to 12 doors, costing roughly £300 to £800 in total, while medium to large kitchens with 15 to 25 doors can range from £600 to £2,000 or more.
Additional factors like high-gloss finishes, shaker or handleless styles, and custom sizing can increase the price. If you’re handy and opt for DIY installation, you can save significantly, whereas hiring a professional installer might add between £150 and £500 to your overall cost. Overall, replacing just the cabinet doors is a highly cost-effective way to refresh your kitchen, often saving 50–70% compared to a full kitchen remodel.
Is it cheaper to replace kitchen cabinets or just the doors?
Replacing just the kitchen cabinet doors is significantly cheaper than replacing the entire cabinets. When you replace only the doors, you keep the existing cabinet units and simply swap out the doors, drawer fronts, and sometimes the handles. This approach can save you 50–70% compared to a full cabinet replacement, depending on the materials and finishes chosen.
When is replacing doors a good idea?
Replacing kitchen cabinet doors is a great idea when your existing cabinet units are still structurally sound and in good condition. It’s an ideal solution if you’re looking for a quick and affordable way to refresh the look of your kitchen without the expense and disruption of a full renovation. This approach works especially well if you’re satisfied with your current kitchen layout and simply want to update the style, colour, or finish of your cabinets.
Do Doorfinder doors fit to replace any kitchen cabinet?
At Doorfinder, we provide a comprehensive range of standard-sized doors designed to fit the majority of cabinets commonly supplied and installed across the UK. If you do not find the size you require within our standard offerings, we also offer a bespoke made-to-measure service on many of our product ranges to ensure a perfect fit for your kitchen.
What are the different finishes of kitchen doors?
Kitchen cabinet doors come in a variety of finishes to suit different styles, budgets, and maintenance needs. Matte finishes offer a subtle, modern look that hides fingerprints and scratches, while high-gloss finishes create a sleek, bright appearance but can show marks more easily. Wood veneer provides the natural beauty of wood grain with added stability, often at a lower cost than solid wood. Painted doors offer design flexibility with a smooth, durable surface. Laminate finishes are durable, available in many colours and patterns, and resistant to scratches and moisture. Vinyl or foil-wrapped doors feature a smooth, easy-to-clean surface in a wide range of styles and colours.
What is the guarantee on your kitchen and wardrobe doors?
All of our doors come with a comprehensive 6-year guarantee, giving you peace of mind and assurance in the quality and durability of our products. This warranty covers manufacturing defects and ensures that your doors will maintain their appearance and functionality under normal use during this period. Should any issues arise within the guarantee timeframe, we are committed to providing prompt support and solutions.
Do all doors come pre drilled for hinge holes?
We highly recommend having your hinge holes drilled by us to ensure a faster and more straightforward installation. By default, our replacement kitchen cupboard doors are supplied without pre-drilled holes. However, you have the option to provide your hinge hole measurements during the ordering process for a custom fit.
Do you offer installation services?
We do not offer installation services directly. However, if you’re considering installing the kitchen doors yourself, it is possible if you have some basic DIY skills. If you’re unsure about your ability to install the doors, we recommend hiring a professional for the best results.
