Frequently Asked Questions
What is full overlay?
Full overlay doors cover most of the face frame, leaving only about 1/8 inch of frame visible between doors. This creates a modern, clean look with maximum storage access.
What gap should I leave between doors?
Standard gap between doors is 1/8 inch (3mm). This allows doors to open and close without rubbing. Inset doors also need a 1/8 inch gap around all edges.
