In our previous article, we argue about the difference between the face framed and unframed, and then briefly discussed the options for overlay face framed cabinets. As already mentioned, there are the two most common options are overlapping overlay ½ "overlay and 1-1/4". That is about ½ "overlay, which is probably the most popular and certainly the easiest.
There are some advantages to using ½ "overlay on most of the other options:
- The doors are smaller and therefore less expensive.
- In the corners or other confined spaces, you can sometimes get less or expenses. (Note:. For a larger amount, you can do the same, reducing the overlap on one side for a certain port, but requires better planning and sometimes requires the purchase of a couple of different bands )
- In small spaces like a bathroom, they need to open the doors smaller, less space.
- It is easier to calculate the size.
Suppose we have a roof only one door. For illustration purposes, for example, the case is 18 "wx 36" h (This cabinet is commonly known as the W1836.) To determine the size of the door, but the government is not the important measure: the opening width is key. I think the definition is obvious, but the opening is part of the frame through which you can reach in the closet. (Some photos are several openings, but we'll talk later. We assume that has only one locker.) In most cases, the size of the opening of this government will be 3 "less than the width of the cabinet and 3 "below the height of the cabinet. This is because, left, right, parts of upper and lower frame (known as guides for spare parts for horizontal and vertical styles) on the case as each standard 1-1/2 "wide . But do not assume anything! Measure the opening!
After measuring the opening, say you find it at the standard size: 15 "wx 33" h for the size of the door, that the case ", it is necessary to overlay the door with a ½ ½ "larger than the opening of each of the four sides: right, left, up and down. The combination of these measures, you will see that the door 1 "is greater than the opening width and 1" longer than the opening height or 16 "WX 34" H easy!
They move into a state of a standard door / drawer, where he opened a drawer directly above a door with a guide (horizontal framing pieces) between measurements are equal, the train is 1-1/2 Typical "wide (or at least 1-1/4" wide). Since there is no place for an "on the door and ½ ½" overlay on the front panel to fit the guide and still have space left, it will work.
The difficult scenario is when you have a couple of ports for a single opening. For example, it has a 30 "x 36" cabinet with a single opening hours (in general, or W3036BD W3036BUTT). Both ports are equipped with a "back door", with (almost) met in the center of the head. In fact, we usually leave 1 / 8 "gap between the doors to prevent friction. So if you measure the opening and I find 27" wx 33 "h, starting with the same calculation that makes the Size combo port 28 "wx 34" h Because each door is half the width, divide the width of two is 14 "wx 34" h, and then enable the "gap 1 / 8, subtract 1 / 16" on each door. This gives the size of the last port 13-15/16 "wx 34" h (if the manufacturer is not exactly the size of the door to door to door nearest 1 / 16 the creator ", then find another !)
No matter what type of coverage chosen, always be aware of obstacles - walls, corners, equipment, forms, etc. - that could prevent a door or drawer to open properly. If these obstacles, you may need to change the door or drawer front accordingly.
