Design with Doors

Design software can streamline cabinet door sizing, but always verify accuracy. Sherwood Shelving’s Design Helps includes a Door Height Chart for quick reference and a “Calculating Gable, Drawer & Door Heights” guide. For half-overlay doors, ensure an 8mm overlay for proper fit.

Our European, Pentad Shaker, and Troika doors use TFL, matching organizers for consistent color. Thermofoil doors, wrapped in vinyl, may have slight color variations, so confirm availability with Sherwood Shelving and educate customers. Thermofoil color options are limited—always verify with Sherwood Shelving. Show customers melamine, edge tape, and thermofoil samples for color approval.

For half-overlay door and drawer face styles with a single gable, maintain an 8mm overlay on gables and shelving with a 3mm reveal for a clean look. When designing doors over pull-out drawers, include a 1” hinge spacer on the drawer box’s hinge side to clear the door. Note that drawers must be vertically positioned to avoid door hinges, as the hinge spacer won’t clear them. This may result in uneven drawer spacing, so inform customers in advance.
