Veneering

Now add the veneer to the frame of the boxes. Organize the veneers by height and start with the longest sections first. Add masking tape to protect already installed finished surfaces and glue the veneer in place. Aim for an even, moderate amount of adhesive. There are many tips and tricks to this process, see our videos for full details.

Cabinet Door Installation

First, add all of the hinges to the door you’re working on. Refer to your guide and install each door in order. Start by adding one screw to the top hinge and then the first screw to the lower hinge when attaching to the cabinet box. Add the other screws after. You can still adjust the hinges after all of the doors are installed.

How to Measure

First, measure the width and height of the back of the door. Verify that the hinges are 3.5 inches from the top or the bottom of the door. If they are not, indicate their placement in your notes so we can add our hinge holes in the right spot for you. These are just the basics. Get more information on how to measure in our complete measuring guide.
