We suggest using CabDoor Direct’s Door Worksheet for recording the sizing information. The worksheet is organized to help you gather all the information needed to complete your online order when you are ready. How to Measure Instructions are included as part of the worksheet.
For new kitchens using IKEA’s Kitchen Planner, you will need the component list showing the box sizes and IKEA part #’s and your kitchen elevation illustrations for the kitchen. Using the Door Worksheet and Cabinet Door & Drawer Front Identifier, identify the corresponding doors and drawer fronts that go with each cabinet box for the configuration in your elevation illustrations.

BEFORE YOU BUDGET
Hidden Costs to Watch For
Most estimates don't include these two common cost additions. Plan ahead so your project stays on budget.
Color Matching
If your existing cabinet box frames do not closely match the factory finish of your new doors, the frames may need to be painted or touched up. This can add approximately $500 to $1,500, depending on kitchen size.
Estimated Add-On: $500–$1,500
Hinge Compatibility
Older cabinet boxes may use outdated or exposed hinges. If the face frames need to be modified for modern concealed soft-close hinges, extra labor may be added per opening.
