Cabinet Door Size Calculator

Calculate finished cabinet door sizes from the measured opening, construction style, reveal or overlay, and single- or double-door layout. Optional Shaker inputs also produce rail, stile, and center-panel dimensions.

How the estimate works

Use the number as a planning starting point.

Inset doors subtract reveals from the opening. Overlay doors add the selected overlay to both edges. Double doors divide the available width after the center gap.

Measure first

Measure finished dimensions, actual stock, openings, and site constraints before ordering material.

Check the result

Hinge overlays, face-frame dimensions, edge profiles, panel expansion, and hardware clearances vary. Build a test door or verify manufacturer specifications before batching parts.

FAQ

Common Cabinet Door Calculator questions

How do I size inset cabinet doors?

Subtract the chosen reveal from every opening edge, then divide the remaining width if the opening uses two doors.

How are Shaker panel dimensions calculated?

The panel fits between rails and stiles and extends into the grooves. Confirm the actual groove depth and allow for solid-wood movement when appropriate.
