Hi hope you’re well. So the ‘industry standard’ used in kitchen fits and the like are that doors should be the carcass height minus 5mm, and the carcass width, minus 4 mm, and that works well for most people in the business. But as bespoke makers I don’t think it’s unreasonable to aim for something with slightly higher tolerances, and this is how I do mine. Enjoy!

[*Ad] Like those previous videos this one is sponsored by Medite. You know Medite, they make top quality MDF, and every painted set of shelves, bookcases, wardrobes , cabinets or doors you may have seen me make on this channel was made with Medite MR or Moisture Resistant MDF, and in this video I’m using Medite’s ultimate MRMDF, Medite Optima.
Visit meditesmartply - links below - for more information on the product and stockists, and I’d like to thank Medite for the opportunity to use Optima on this project.
