Standard Kitchen Cabinet Door Dimensions

By Kevin Sorby | Kitchen Designer & Cabinetmaker

The simplest way to work out a kitchen cabinet door size is to deduct 3 mm from the overall cabinet width and deduct 3 mm from the overall cabinet height.

For example, if your single door kitchen base cabinet carcase is 500 mm (50 cm) wide and 720 mm (72 cm) high, then the kitchen door dimensions should be 447mm (44.7 cm) wide x 717mm (71.7 cm) high. 

The 3 mm door gap (in height and width) gives you enough wiggle room to adjust your doors (if your cabinets are not sitting level or your hinges need adjusting).
