When we got to construction of the kitchen they tried to get me to use a standard door, but I stood my ground! It took a few weeks for the cabinet maker to source it, even the sales reps at Hafale were hopeless we did end up with an extra thick door, it looks like they have stuck two laminate panels together with a gap inside if that makes sense Re: Pantry Door 9Sep 18, 2012 11:01 am Hey Gogo that door is perfect!! but I'm worried about the expense of the double thickness...I figured 1 door would be expensive but x 2!! How wide is your door? Were you warned about warping or does the double thickness take away that worry? CuttingEdge- When you say to have the door swung separately of the cabinet does that mean to make use of the brick wall next to it? Is it easy to have a normal door with the same finish as the cabinets? Never seen that done so not quite sure how it would look :s Re: Pantry Door 11Sep 18, 2012 11:57 am I'm really glad this thread has popped up, we're having the same discussions with our builder at the moment too. I like the seamless look of having the door integrated with the rest of the cabinetry, but at every turn people want to tell you it can't be done. I think builders generally like to err on the side of caution and if there's any chance something might go wrong at their expense, they will try their hardest to avoid it (or charge you a fortune to cover their losses if it does go wrong). In my case I think we're just going to tuck the door over in the far corner of our kitchen so it is not 'part' of the kitchen, and go with a cavity slider... seems like the easiest solution for us, and given everything in the house seems to have been upgraded I think I'm going to have to let at least one thing go through as standard My building thread: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=56583&start=120 Re: Pantry Door 12Sep 18, 2012 12:25 pm xxkatxx CuttingEdge- When you say to have the door swung separately of the cabinet does that mean to make use of the brick wall next to it?

Never seen that done so not quite sure how it would look :s Yes an inward swinging door needs to be hinged from the brick wall or floor/ceiling.

Opens out only. Doesnt really help as the OP wants the door swung inwards. I also would be concerned about the number of hinges for such a wide door. I put 5 hinges on a door 500x2300. A door 750x2300 has 1.5 times the material/weight and should have atleast 7 hinges. Dont stress the hinges will just sag over time and will eventually need replacing.

It has a top and bottom hinge, nothing on the wall side. Not sure about weight and warping though, it is a fairly substantial door though I didn't want mine opening outwards as it would most likely be left open by the kids and be a pain in the ar$e.... Basically. If the shelves are fixed then they will be screwed in just the same as the rest of the carcass. To re move the screws you need to remove that section of… 3 5200 I visited a relatives house and he went with sink in kitchen and butlers, dishwasher in kitchen and butlers and has crockery spread out between the two areas depending on… 2 44070 Black on light wood does look good. Not sure if it will be as long lasting as a steel finish? 6 6349 |
