We make gable, island and refrigerator panels up 96 inches high and 48 inches wide using our standard equipment and process. In fact, we do it all the time.

We ship across Canada (and the US) several times a week. Your doors will be wrapped in foam and further protected in a sturdy crate constructed from plywood with a skid base. Crates are shipped by contracted carriers and can be delivered to your residence. The driver can place the crate outside on your driveway using a lift gate. You simply remove the top from the crate and bring the foam wrapped doors inside. The crate material is yours to keep (re-purpose) or dispose. A typical shipping cost estimate is to allow about 10% over the cost of the doors on a full kitchen project.
I want my upper doors to be glossy white and the lowers to be a grey/dark blue color. Can you do that?
Yes we can paint two different colours on a project. Regarding the gloss: The higher the gloss the more difficult and costly it is to manufacture. Higher gloss requires more care and maintenance as it amplifies dirt, fingerprints, smudges or surface defects such as dings, scratches. Our normal recommended sheen is 20%. We offer an enhanced 35% sheen on both light or dark colour paints at a nominal up-charge. We offer a 50% sheen only on light colour paint at a nominal up-charge. We do not paint beyond 50% sheen. If your requirement is beyond 50% sheen we recommend switching to a slab door style. The slab door can be made from a durable laminate (PET) that provides a very uniform gloss finish which is easier to maintain than high gloss paint.

If hinge drilling is needed we will need the hinge specification including make and model number.
