Flat Surface Kitchen Cupboards

These instructions are for flat surface cupboards only. If you have raised surface doors or doors with molding, they will be covered in a different area.

Label Your Kitchen Cabinet Doors

Take a label of some sort, self sticking, masking tape, or anything else that will stick on the inside of the cupboard door and can be written on. After sticking a label on the inside of each door, take a felt pen and write the number of the door on the label. If you start your numbering at the upper left cupboard door and work around then go to the lower doors it makes it easier to remember what goes where since it's the same sequence as reading a book.

Lots of little things, like the labeling will help to make do it yourself kitchen cabinet refacing a lot easier.

A Screwdriver Is Your First Necessary Tool

Remove all of the kitchen cabinet doors from the stiles and remove the hinges and other hardware from the doors.
