H1 Title:
Are Cabinet Door Hinges Replaced During the Refacing Process?
Yes, all of the cabinet’s hinges are replaced during kitchen cabinet refacing. Homeowners should choose wisely when selecting from various types of hinges.
Your choice should be dictated by the degree of visual exposure associated with the hinge. For example, some cabinet hinges are completely hidden, i.e. they are installed on the inside of the cabinet door. Others hinges are partially or fully visible and demand careful selection, since they should be chosen from a practical yet stylish perspective. Such hinges should be compatible with the existing / future décor of the room.
Installation should always be completed by a professional, as it is extremely difficult to ensure level and evenly spaced cabinet doors without the proper tools and training.
