We do not sell cabinet doors loose unless they are ordered with our minimum 10 cabinet order.

Types of Cabinet Door Overlays:

1) Beaded Inset 
2) Flush Inset
3) Regular Overlay
4) Full Overlay 
Overlay describes how a cabinet door / drawer head is mounted to the cabinet frame.

Beaded Inset

Beaded Inset: The cabinet frame has a bead cut into the edge surrounding the doors / drawers. The cabinet door/drawer is set into the frame opening. This is a more time consuming and labor intensive door treatment making it more costly than regular overlay or full overlay styles. Almost any door style can be made as beaded inset. Most of our cabinet orders are for beaded or flush inset style. We offer this style with concealed hinges or exposed barrel hinges.

Flush Inset

Flush Inset: This is often just called inset. The cabinet frame has a square edge surrounding the doors / drawers ( no bead ), and the door/drawer is set into the cabinet frame opening. Many door styles are available as inset. We offer this style with concealed hinges or exposed barrel hinges.

(back to the top)

Regular overlay

Regular Overlay: This is frequently called traditional overlay. The door/drawer is set on top of the cabinet frame. This style is the most common and least costly. We offer knife hinges or concealed hinges with this style.

(back to the top)

Full overlay

Full Overlay: In this style the doors/drawers lay on top of the frame. The doors and drawers are made larger than normal as to almost cover the entire cabinet frame. Door and drawer edges almost touch each other. This is more costly than regular overlay. Hinges are concealed.
