Survey
Measure and label before removing anything.
Number each existing front and retain its position, orientation and hardware references so similar-looking pieces do not become interchangeable by accident.
Replacement kitchen doors
Turn a room of different fronts into a numbered replacement schedule.
Prepare slab doors and drawer fronts as one measured set, with references that remain clear through material selection and review.

The clear version
What this part of DIY Joinery is for.
Replacement work depends on the existing installation. The component workflow helps organise the measured fronts, but does not assume a cabinet brand, standard range or universal overlay.
Front schedule
Separate every genuinely different specification.
Different size, grain orientation, drilling or handing means a different line even when the visible colour is the same.
Fit responsibility
Approve the replacement size explicitly.
The platform preserves the dimensions entered. It cannot detect an inaccurate site measurement, existing cabinet movement or unsuitable hinge position.
Room-by-room method
Build the set in installation order.
A consistent reference system reduces mistakes during review and fitting.
Photograph and number
Use a simple sequence such as K01, K02 and D01 before measuring.
Measure finished fronts
Record height and width consistently and check repeated pieces rather than assuming equality.
Record specialist detail
Keep hinge, handle, grain and damage notes with the matching reference.
Replacement survey
Capture more than width and height.
The existing kitchen remains the source of site-specific fit information.

Useful detail
Common questions.
Are standard kitchen sizes preloaded?
No. Current templates use the finished dimensions you enter and do not claim compatibility with a cabinet brand or product range.
Can doors and drawer fronts share one set?
Yes. Add each type as a separate component line and retain a clear room reference.
Will colours on screen exactly match an existing kitchen?
No. Existing finishes age and screens vary. Use current physical samples and verified product identity before approving a material.
Build the front schedule
Start with the first measured door or drawer.
Add and duplicate component lines before moving the set into Board Cutting.
