How to create inset gap doors on frame cabinet

Post by Alain Routhier »

Hi,

First time trying ecab for Frame cabinet. Frameless no problem.

Got the frame OK, my doors are flush to the frame, but can't get a gap between the door and frame!

Thank's for the help.

Alain,

When you are doing an inset door, the door over lap becomes the gap around the door and the face frame.

Alain,
Your subscription for the online videos has not yet expired. The answer to this question can be found under the Category for Cabinets and Assemblies, the sub-category is installers. About the seventh video clip in the list shows a description of inset doors. It uses a frameless cabinet for this demo, but the process is the same. A few videos below that show how to make a beaded face frame by applying strips of face frame material and then installing inset doors and drawers.

You can also search the videos for content. I searched for "inset doors" and the results were extensive since it looked for "inset" and "doors", but I found the video you needed pretty quickly.

Thanks, Dennis
