Designing the Kitchen
Cabinet Doors
You need two doors for the kitchen cabinet, one on
top for the refrigerator compartment, and one on
the bottom for the freezer compartment. In general,
the doors have these characteristics:
●
The doors should be at least 5/8 in. (16 mm)
thick to allow the connecting rails to be fastened
to them.
●
With both doors closed, there should be a
minimum of 1/8 in. (3 mm) between the upper and
lower doors. Also, there should be an 1/8 in.
(3 mm) clearance between the upper door and the
cabinet door above it (if any).
●
The top edge of the upper door (Fig. 8, 1) and
lower door (Fig. 8, 2) should be even with the
doors of adjoining cabinet(s), if any.
●
The position of the joint between the kitchen
cabinet doors must be level with the position
of the joint between the appliance doors
(Fig. 8, 2).
●
Adjust the door alignment before installing the
appliance. It is impossible to adjust the door with
the appliance installed.
●
Check the installation dimensions according to
Figure 7.
●
Use high quality inside hinges (Fig. 9, 1) to
mount the doors to the cabinet. The hinges
should be adjustable to make sure the doors fit
squarely when they are closed.
●
Make sure that you account for the projection
(thickness) of the hinge you select. You
must have 21-7/16 in. (544.5 mm) clearance
between left inner wall of the cabinet and the
projection (thickness) of the hinge. See
Figure 7
dimension “N.”
●
The maximum hinge opening angle is 110°.
●
Consider having a professional install the
refrigerator-freezer in your kitchen cabinet.
