Calculating Door & Drawer Front Dimensions
When replacing existing doors with the same overlay (amount door hangs over the opening) simply enter the exact measurements of existing doors and drawer fronts.
When changing overlay or measuring for new openings:
For single doors- Measure the opening and add 2x the desired overlay. For example, a 12" W x 24" H opening with 1/2" overlay would need a 13" x 25" door (2 x .5 + 12= 13")
For double doors- The width of each door equals the opening width plus 2x overlay, minus 1/8", divided by 2.
For example - a 24" opening with 1/2" overlay would need 2 doors @ 12 7/16" (24 + (2 x .5) - .125 = 12.4375"
To figure height use the same formula for single doors.
