This is the question that stops most people before they start. The good news is that the answer is almost always yes — but it is worth spending ten minutes checking rather than assuming, because the two things that decide it are easy to look at.
It is about the doors, not the brand
People often ask whether we can match a particular kitchen manufacturer. That is not really how it works. Our doors are made to your measurements, so what matters is not who built your kitchen but what size your existing doors are and how they hang. A kitchen from a national retailer, an independent fitter or a builder's merchant can all take replacement doors perfectly well.
The two things to check
- The carcasses. These are the boxes your doors hang on. If they are solid, square and dry, they will happily take new doors. If a unit is sagging, water-damaged under the sink, or has been cut about, that is the one thing worth sorting first — new doors on a tired carcass will not hang straight.
- The hinge holes. Most modern kitchens use a standard 35mm hinge cup, which is what our doors are bored for. Older or unusual kitchens occasionally use something else. Open a door and look at the round recess on the back — if it looks like a standard cup hinge, you are in familiar territory.
Measure the doors, not the openings
The single most common mistake is measuring the gap rather than the door. Take the sizes off the doors you already have, measure each one individually, and write them down as you go — kitchens that look uniform very often are not. Our measuring guide walks through it properly, including drawer fronts and end panels.
What if something does not fit?
Odd sizes are normal, and made-to-measure means an odd size is not a problem. Awkward corners, a dishwasher panel, a slim filler — these are all made to your measurements rather than something you have to work around.
Worth doing first
Before you order anything, count your doors and drawer fronts and measure every one. It takes half an hour and it is the difference between a straightforward job and a frustrating one. If you are still weighing up how far to go, new kitchen or new doors? is the next thing to read.
