We fit loads of doors across corners, always have a small infill panel either side, never had them flush, I imagine it would be a pain to keep aligned, you can lose this with the small gap. Fortunately dental cabinets are going minimalist at present, simple straight runs are the order of the day.

Just a little Tip NP, that's ( if you don't already know ,if you do - ignore me 😀) When you line your cabinets up , to get a nice flawless fit clamp them together with a pair of rubber face clamps at the front then screw them together with short screws placed in a position that will be covered by the hinge . Sometimes something like a 30 mm screw will be good joining two 19mm carcasses. 2009 GS Auto Zermatt Silver - Sold June 21 after 10 years of ownership

you can get joining bolts for that, leaving only a Philips top at each side.

Yes you can but a properly fitted kitchen shouldnt have them , it's not custom enough I got that tip from a mate's husband who was a fitter to the rich and famous for " handmade kitchens " that cost a fortune. He had loads of Pro -tips , how to cut the mitres on cornice, so that the angle was never compromised , which cornice glues to use ( aerosol activated mitre glue ) and the use of coloured waxes to fill tiny holes and so forth.

Very much so, I have also pointed out the plinth on the bottom of the door should be a draw front too, as this is a door and opens, so i will see the sides of it, To be honest its teething issues, this walk in larder is new to them, i am the second to order one, and when i asked if the first had issues, he said no, they are still six weeks off delivery Might be ordering a new one for them too in the correct size Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis |
