Kitchen doors buying sperately

unbeareableLightness

I thought it would be easy to source replacement doors but most of the big kitchen suppliers only do whole kitchens, not just the doors. I found a few places online that lets you buy just doors made to measure and in a variety of styles. Not sure if they are legit? The ones I'm looking at is doorbox.co.uk and kitchenandbedroomdoors.co.uk

I'm after a set of matt-finish, handleless white door. Needs to be made to measure as my existing kitchen is awkwardly shaped. There are two types of quality I'm told, vinyl wrap and lacquer. Some online discussions say that it's really worth getting the higher quality lacquer, has anyone had experience? Is ti really worth it?

I wouldn't worry about the quality of door covering, the main challenge is making it look good and the doors fitting perfectly.

My in laws decided to replace their doors and had it carried out for them by a company. I do have pretty high standards but it looks bad. It just doesn't look right, the doors don't fit perfectly - even a mm or two makes a difference as you can see the cupboard carcass behind and the cornice/pelmet doesn't sit straight. My guess is that the carcasses themselves have expanded and contracted over time and just aren't straight anymore.

I'd rather fit a cheap kitchen than replace just the doors, I certainly wouldn't consider buying expensive doors in the name of quality - it seems like a false economy.

My parents replaced their utility room doors, they used this place:

The doors look great, and it has made a huge difference to the look of the room. Their units are in great condition, despite being 25 years old. My dad measured very carefully about 5 times to make sure they ordered doors in the correct sizes, down to the mm.
