Welcome to The Door Maker! This video will show you how to order custom cabinet doors
online using our Build a Door tool.
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 cabinet doors.
We have a few tabs at the top. In this video, we are going to walk through the “Doors”
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.
Once you have selected your cabinet door panel, you then choose your door style. The door
style refers to the inner panel of your cabinet door. Here you can choose whether your cabinet
door panel will be flat, square or arched. For example, panel Profile A, Pillow, and
Slanted are only available in style 2001 since they are all flat panels. Our raised panel
doors such as Profile C and D let you choose door styles 2002 to 2007. When you choose
door style 2002, the inner panel will be squared, just like the image you saw of the panel profile
in the first section. Choosing door styles 2003 to 2007 will give your cabinet door panel
an arch. For shaker-style doors, you will be able to choose door styles 2002 and 2008.
In the third section, you can customize the edge profile of your cabinet door. 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 consists
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 cabinet doors, 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 cabinet doors. The default option is
white melamine or you can choose to match the front colour of your cabinet door.
Section five lets you customize the grain direction of your cabinet doors. If you have
selected a solid colour, you can select any option here. If you have 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 cabinet door 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 cabinet door that
you add.
We also sell Blum’s soft closing hinges. Each cabinet door requires 2 hinges. If you
require 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
documents and pictures here.
Now that I have explained all the details, let’s work through an example!
For the panel profile, I am going to select the Vermont Shaker. In the door style section,
you can see that the only available option is 2002 and that all other options are greyed
out. When options are greyed out it means that those designs are not available with
the panel profile you have chosen.
For the edge profile, I want the edges to be squared, so I am going to select edge profile
number 7.
For the colour, I am going to choose Cashmere. I want the front and the back to be the same
colour so I am going to check off the “Match Front” option. Since I have selected a solid
colour, the grain direction of the door does not matter. I am going to select “vertical.”
Now for the dimensions. My first set requires width 15” by height 30” and I need 2 doors
in this size. Under additional options, I am going to select bumpons, standard location
for the hinges holes, and soft closing hinges.
To add more doors, I am going to click on “Add Another Door” and input my measurements
and select my add ons.
If you are planning a two-toned kitchen, and would like to add additional panel profiles
and colours, click on “Add Set To Shopping Cart.” And then click on “Add Another
Set” and work through the Build a Door tool again, selecting all your options.
Once you “Add Set to Shopping Cart” you will 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 more items, click on “Add Another Set.”
Once you are ready to check out, simply click on “Update and Proceed.”
And there you have it! You have designed your cabinet door online.
