Flat Tongue and Groove Overview
This door style offers the vertical lines of the tongue and groove style of panelling in a simple door that is great for utility room tall cupboard doors. With an informal country look, this style is great when combined with our tongue and groove panelling for a coordinated look that embraces timeless tradition. The doors can be made with either a beaded groove or a V groove.
Technical Information
In order to give opening clearances, doors and drawer fronts are generally a little smaller than their carcases. If you are not replacing old doors (which you can measure) please study carefully the details below.
Base units (with recessed plinths): Doors fit flush to bottom edge of carcase with the total height of door, or door and drawer(s), or set of drawers being 5mm less than the overall carcase height.
Wall units (with lighting trim & cornice): Doors are 6mm less than the overall carcase height, giving 3mm clearances both top and bottom. THE SAME FORMAT APPLIES TO ANY CUPBOARD WITH CORNICE OR SKIRTING PROJECTING FORWARD FROM THE CARCASE. Horizontal gaps between doors/drawers on the same unit should be set at 3mm each.
Single doors are 5mm less than the overall carcase width.
Double doors are each 4mm less than half the overall carcass width.
With the exception of drawer fronts, all doors are made using 75mm rails and either 6/9/12/15mm centre panels, depending upon the style chosen. Doors over 1600mm high (1), come with a 153mm centre rail above a 700mm base panel. Please specify should you wish this rail to be at a different setting.
Drawer fronts up to 150mm (2) are solid 21mm MDF. Drawer fronts 150mm – 200mm high (3), are supplied with 50mm top and bottom rails and flat panels. All drawer fronts (and doors) over this size (4) and (5), have standard 75mm rails all round.
When ordered, are on 87mm centres (6), but can be sited in any position required. In such cases please specify the preferred position by measuring in from the top and/or bottom edge of the door to the centre of the 35mm hole. Doors over 1600 high require 3 hinges as standard. Please specify the hand of the doors on all doors over 1600 height and on any door where the hinge positions are not symmetrical. The hand of the door, denoted left (L) or right (R), is the side on which the hinge is placed when viewing the unit from the front.
When ordering hinges, specify the thickness of the carcass sides.
If you require end panels, lighting trim or plinths to coordinate with your door style, contact the office with a list of the lengths you require and we will assist you further.

Watch our simple video for tips on how to measure for replacement doors. There is a section at the end of the video listing all of the information covered in the video if you need to take notes.
No, however, they are spray primed with a special primer/filler and then flatted by hand, which gives the best surface upon which to paint and saves a lot of time versus doing this step by hand at home.
MDF or Medium Density Fibreboard is a fibre board made from wood fibres and resin, bonded under high pressures. The finished boards do not have a grain and are therefore ideal for painting or filling. Thus holes can be filled and sanded with ease and are completely invisible when painted- very handy should you ever decide to change from a handle to a knob, for instance.
Another advantage of MDF is that once it is sealed, it is a very stable material, and unlike wood, is not prone to warping or shrinkage- extremely important when manufacturing large wardrobe doors, most of which are over 2m high. Finally, all of our materials are sourced from manufacturers who use wood from sustainable forestation, and as the process also uses the whole tree by using the wasted branches and bark left over from larger board production, there is little wastage, making MDF doubly environmentally sound.
All of our doors are 21mm thick with a minimum 9mm panel in the centre.
Our standard rail is 75mm wide on our new and replacement kitchen cabinet doors with taller wardrobe doors featuring a 153mm wide mid or cross rail.
Yes, we regularly make angled doors. Please contact the office for details of the measurements we require.
The hinge boss hole should have a centre point. Simply measure from the top of the door to the top hinge hole centre point and then again from the top of the door to the centre point of the bottom hinge hole. Always measure from the top of the door to the centre point for all hinge positioning measurements.
The second measurement we need is from the side of the door to the hinge hole centre point. As a guide, this is usually around 21mm.
