Door on Wall Cabinet

Post by Gary Puckett »

If anyone will still talk to me :joker: How do you put a door on a frameless wall cabinet with a slant front? The front of the sides are 45 degrees to the front of the slant face.

We use CAD software to determine the size of the door needed then set the hinge side and open side reveals so the door is the correct size. We normally use the hinge mount holes but I haven't been able to figure out how to get these to end up at the correct location so for this type of cabinet we use a jig to place the hinge mount holes after the cabinet is put together. We use the Blum 45 deg angle hinges which sets the door out from the cabinet so the from the front you have the correct reveal to the next door, then on the open side we use a thicker bumper than normal to get approximately the same spacing from the cabinet to the back of the door. I attached a couple of pictures to show the process we go through.

If this is a 24" x 24" corner cab x 12" deep -- I find that a 16" door gives the clearances needed to butt to the next cab and still open. You can set your reveals to make this happen.

Thanks Guys,

I have no experience with a frameless corner cabinet. I have no idea on how to draw this so I will just show it as a corner open shelf unit.
