Do you recognise these kitchen cupboard doors?

Hey guys, bit of a long shot here, we're wanting to replace our kitchen doors in our utility room as one has 'blown' skin wise.

The guys doing the tiling in there have offered to replace them but said its a lot easier if you get the same manufacturers doors as all the hinges tend to be in the same place etc (guesstimate is these are 13-15 years old).

Fairly standard looking hinges, the doors have the sort of grey 'crazed' look, which might be more of a clue. 

Long shot, but you never know!

    Its really easy to move the fixing on the carcase side, you can get a repair plate if the holes are knackered. The round hole for the hinge on the door is also a lot easier to drill without making a mistake than you might think. Just buy a hinge hole cutter drill bit.

    A pic of the outside of the door might help identify it too.

    If you're paying someone else to do this why not just go for a company that specialises in replacing doors rather than a general guy who turns his hand to anything?  I'm not suggesting he will do a bad job but getting the specialists in will just take the headache away

    These guys are very good, we have used them on numerous occasions, they could quite easily redo the whole thing, it's just extra time and hassle if there was a quicker route really!

    Also I think they were saying this when we mentioned we might just replace the doors (ourselves) and not do the rest. 
  • Is it just a trick of the light or is the vinyl peeling on those door fronts? I'm not sure I'd be in a hurry to get replacement doors from the same manufacturer if that's what they look like after 15 years.

    They could be Magnet doors, but you won’t get one to match now.

    Try the kitchen door workshop they do made to measure at a reasonable cost.

    One door is blown, but yeah, that's a good point!

    This probably does not help but this happened to about 3 of my kitchen doors in my last house. I had the exact same from B & Q in 2005 and about 10 year later this happened. Luckily, I had spare doors that they mistakenly sent me. I moved 6 year ago so don't know what the rest are like now.
