About Cabinet Framing products
Profiles for aluminium frame cabinet doors need to suit the joinery hardware, not simply the door's appearance. Hinge attachment on kitchen and laundry projects in Australia is worth resolving before the door sizes are finalised, particularly beside a wall or rangehood. A cabinet framing schedule can record the profile section and finish against each door reference, giving the fabricator a clear link to the joinery drawings.
Cabinet Framing
An aluminium frame glass cabinet door has a profile that determines how the insert is held and how much of its edge remains visible. Glass thickness must match the profile's rebate and retention method. Opening clearance and handle position need checking when the door sits above a benchtop, so it can be used without interfering with adjacent joinery.
What changes when detailing a face frame cabinet?
The frame fixed to the front of the carcass affects the opening and the door overlay or inset. Set out hinge positions against that frame rather than assuming the fixing arrangement used for frameless joinery.
Is a 2x4 cabinet frame suitable for kitchen joinery?
Nominal 2-by-4 timber framing takes up more space than typical board construction. Ask the cabinetmaker to confirm the actual section in millimetres and its effect on usable storage before including it in the drawings.
Can existing hinges be retained when replacing a framed door?
Check the hinge manufacturer's fixing requirements and load rating against the replacement door. Reuse depends on compatibility with the profile as well as the completed door's weight.
