Cabinet Front

5.1 Weight of cabinet front

NOTICE: Risk of damage from a heavy unit door! If the cabinet door is too heavy, damage to the hinges cannot be ruled out with functionality impairments as a result. Before installing the cabinet door, ensure that the cabinet door does not exceed the permissible weight.

5.2 Cabinet door

A door is needed for the kitchen cabinets. The door must have a minimum thickness of 16 mm (5/8 in) and a maximum thickness of 19 mm (3/4 in).

There must be a minimum gap of 3 mm (1/8 in) between the door and the cabinet door above the appliance (if available).

The width of the cabinet door depends on the style of the kitchen and the size of the gap between the cabinet's door panels. Generally, there should be a vertical gap between the cabinet doors of 3 mm (1/8 in).

If there are other cabinets, the upper edge of the cabinet door should be at the same height as the doors of the adjacent cabinets. The cabinet door must be flush and mounted with no tension.

NOTICE: Risk of damage from a heavy cabinet door! If the cabinet door is too heavy, damage to the hinges cannot be ruled out with functionality impairments as a result. Before installing the cabinet door, ensure that the cabinet door does not exceed the permissible weight.
