In today’s post, I wanted to let you know about a new, free tool I’ve added to our Plans page, a Cabinet Door Calculator. It allows you to input the dimensions of a cabinet door opening and it outputs the dimensions of the individual parts to make that door.
If you’re thinking about replacing your current kitchen cabinet doors, this tool will take the trouble out of figuring out the dimensions for the door parts. You can select between Inset or Full Overlay doors and you can even adjust the number of doors you are building.
To get access to this free tool, you just need to click on the button below.
This is the same type of calculator I’ve used for all of my cabinet projects including my home office remodel and both of our built-in projects. Actually, every time I’ve planned and built my own cabinets, I’ve used a spreadsheet like this one to make the project easier. It allows me to make minor changes to the design or dimensions without much of headache.
This tool will help with the planning, but if you want to see how to build the doors, you can watch how I’ve built a couple in two of my YouTube videos:

and
The spreadsheet includes instructions on how to use it, but if you have any questions, you can always email me (John(at)Ourhomefromscratch.com). Be sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel and you’ll see the latest videos as they are released. At the moment, I’m planning on filming at least one more cabinet door instructional video.
