Welcome to The Door Maker! This video will show you how to order custom mullions and
frames online using our Build a Door tool. Mullions and frames are typically used to
show off the inside of your cabinet. They are backed with either glass or mirrors. Please
note that we do not provide the inserts. We only cut out the frame on the door.
On the homepage of our website, you will see GET BaD, build a door on the right hand side.
You want to click on that to start designing your mullions and frames.
We have a few tabs at the top. In this video, we are going to walk through the “Mullions
and Frames” tab.
The first section shows you all our panel profile options. You can choose from our selection
of flat, raised panel, or shaker-style cabinet doors. If you have already worked through
the “Doors” tab, you most likely want to choose the same cabinet door panel so that
you maintain that consistency throughout. However, you are more than welcome to choose
a different panel altogether.
The next section is where you can choose the frame design. We have our standard 1, 4, 6
and 8 lite frames along with our new additions.
In the third section, you can customize the edge profile of your mullion or frame. The
edge profile refers to how the edges of your doors are designed. Your options include rounded,
beveled, or square. For example, edge number 2 is beveled, edge number 4 is slightly rounded
and edge number 7 is squared.
Next, you choose the colour of your cabinet door. We have over 150 colours broken down
into 4 colour groups. Group 1 consists of all of our matte finishes. Group 2 and 3 consist
of all of our textured and wood grain finishes and Group 4 consists of our high gloss finishes.
You can also choose the MDF only option. If you will be painting your mullion or frame,
please indicate in the Notes section that you need “paint-grade” MDF. There are
no additional fees for this.
You can also customize the back colour of your mullion or frame. Your options include
white melamine or matching the front colour of your cabinet door.
Section five lets you customize the grain direction of your mullion or frame. If you’ve
selected a solid colour, you can select any option here. If you’ve selected a textured
door with a wood grain finish, you can indicate whether you would like the grain direction
to be vertical or horizontal.
The last and final section is where you input your size requirements. You have the option
to input your measurements in inches or millimeters. Once you have entered the width, height, and
quantity, you have a few more options.
Click on “View Additional Options.” The first option that you can select are bumpons.
These are clear domes that are applied to the inside of your mullion or frame panel
at both the top and bottom. Bumpons help to protect the surface of your door.
The next add-on item is “Holes for Hinges.” Please note that holes are not drilled unless
this option is selected. Our standard drilling location is 3.5” from the top (or bottom)
of the door to the center of the hole. You can also request a special location. Please
indicate your required measurements in the “Notes” section below. If you require
holes to be drilled, please ensure that you select this option for each mullion or frame
that you add.
We also sell Blum’s soft closing hinges. Each mullion, frame or door requires 2 hinges.
Please ensure that you select this option for each cabinet door that you add.
The last add-on is the Knob and Pull Drilling template. The Richelieu knob and pull drilling
template helps you install handles and knobs perfectly on both your cabinet doors and drawer
fronts. This kit includes a knob drilling template, a pull drilling template, and one
3/16” drill bit. You will only require one template for your order.
The Notes and Comments section lets you add any additional information. You can also upload
the documents and pictures here.
Now that I’ve explained all the details, let’s work through an example!
For the panel profile, I am going to select the Verona Shaker because I want the bead
detail to be apparent on the frame.
For the frame design I am going to choose the Darby.
For the edge profile, I am going to choose edge 11, so that the raised bead detail is
seen along the edges of the door as well
For the colour, I’m going to go with a grey and select Dove Grey.
I’m going to keep the back colour of the door White Melamine. For the grain direction,
since I picked a solid colour, and the grain direction does not matter, I’m going to
select vertical.
Lastly, I’m going to put my measurements in. For the width I need 17 and ⅞ by 29
and a half high. I need 2 doors. Then I’m going to click on “View Additional Options”
so that I can select bumpons, hinges holes, and soft closing hinges.
To add additional frames, click on “Add Another Frame” and input your measurements.
Once you’re done, click on “Add Set to Shopping Cart.”
This is where you’ll be able to review your order. If you need to remove an item, click
on the plus sign, and then click delete. If you need to make a change to the measurements,
click on the text box that needs to be adjusted.
To add additional items, click on “Add Another Set.”
Once you are ready to check out, click on “Update and Proceed.”
And there you have it! You have designed a mullion and frame online.
