Step 1
Using your measuring tape, measure the area of the cabinet that needs covering. Remember, you want the door to be slightly larger than the actual cabinet so that it overlaps and seals.
-
Step 2
Select your wood, I would recommend cedar, oak, or any other kind of sturdy wood, but guys please make sure it matches the rest of the cabinets. Using your measurments, mark and cut the wood to fit your specific needs.
-
Step 3
After cutting the wood, place it against the cabinet and, using a pencil, mark where the hinges need to go. Then, using your drill, make the appropriate holes in your door. Also mark the places where the hinges go on the cabinet. This will make screwing the hinges in easier at the end.
-
Step 4
Now that your wood is cut and the hinges are ready to be put in, its time to make the wood look pretty. After sanding the wood to a nice smooth finish, apply your paint, gloss, or wood stain. (Do not place hinges on the door untill after painting or staining your wood.) More than one coat of paint or finish may be required.
-
Step 5
After waiting a day for the paint/gloss/stain to dry, you are now ready to screw in the hinges and mount your door.
