The first doors in our new patent-pending 4S series are 3/4″ Shaker, 1″ Shaker and 1-1/4″ Shaker doors, designed for those looking for a “slim shaker” or “skinny shaker door style” but without the drawbacks of typical slim shaker or skinny shaker construction.
Our 4S doors boast a patent pending construction technique that ensures superior durability and stability over time.
Key features that set the TaylorCraft 4S apart from other doors on the market:
- No lip moulds, no miter joint construction
- True 3/4″ door thickness
- Seamless, smooth, jointless back
- Real wood – in the white
- Works with standard hardware and hinges for 3/4″ thickness doors
- 90 degree joints which create a stable, durable frame
- No nails, nail holes or fasteners that create hinge placement concerns
- True craftsmanship
Crafted to perfection, our 4S doors are truly unique, setting the standard for exceptional quality and innovation.

If you have very short drawer fronts and want a look that is as close to the door profile as possible, you can reduce the rail size to 1-5/8” for our cope and stick doors to reduce overall drawer height or use a slab drawer front with similar outside edge.
Minimum drawer front heights:
6-1/2” with reduced rails and raised panel
5” with reduced rails and flat panel
4” with slab drawer front.
We do not offer prefinished cabinet doors at this time. Our unfinished cabinet doors will arrive to your shop in the white (raw) and ready for finishing, and depending on the material and humidity, after being given a light, touch up sanding.
The cabinet door styles shown online are only a fraction of the design possibilities available from TaylorCraft Cabinet Door Company. You can mix and match our inside edge, outside edge, applied molding and panel profiles to create your own unique cabinet door designs. We stock 18 wood material options and offer other readily available wood species upon request.
Call us for more information on placing a custom cabinet door order.
We manufacture to exact sizes. Because wood is a natural product that expands and contracts as the environment changes, at time of delivery we allow for +/- 1/16″ of the requested dimension.
Doors taller than 48” will automatically be split into two equal panels unless otherwise requested. The maximum recommended height and width can be exceeded however these products are not guaranteed against warping or twisting. For maximum guaranteed height and width please see our door specification guide.
At 48″ height and 24″ width we recommend splitting cabinet doors into two panels divided by a center rail or stile to prevent warpage and twisting.
Doors taller than 48″ will automatically be split into two equal panels unless otherwise requested.
Our wholesale cabinet doors are priced per square foot to 1/16”. Total square footage is calculated by multiplying the door width x height and then dividing by 144.
TaylorCraft’s cope and stick cabinet door and edgebanded cabinet door thickness is 3/4”.
We don’t offer different cabinet door/drawer front thicknesses at this time.
Due to the custom nature of our cabinet doors and our very quick lead times, door orders go into production very shortly after the order is received. Therefore we will not be able to change an order once it has been placed into our system and approved for production.

Boring for European Hinges

Delivery method depends on order size and location. We use shipping companies with the best reputation in each geographical area. Please inspect the packaging for every job you receive and if there is ANY damage to the package, even minor damage, tears, water marks, etc., always note the damage in writing on the delivery receipt, even if you think the product is ok. Please use specific details noting location and exactly what the damage is. Specific notation helps expedite the claims process if there is ever an instance where product is damaged, and it will encourage shippers to handle products with the utmost care.
The way a product is packaged is not only important for damage prevention in transit, but the packing material itself and the process of unwrapping is part of the user experience.
We have worked to engineer and re-engineer our packaging based on feedback from shipping experts and our experience shipping thousands of doors throughout the United States.
So what did we learn about shipping cabinet doors and components that might be useful to you and how do we package our cabinet doors?
- Cabinet doors should be fully wrapped so they are protected from sunlight and excessive exposure to humidity changes. If you leave the doors in our packaging, laid on a flat surface, until you are ready to finish them, air/humidity exposure is minimal, there is no exposure to light so the doors won’t end up discolored and the doors will stay flat, as opposed to leaning them up against the wall which can cause bowing/warpage.
- Too much packaging material, wrapping the doors in cardboard a few at a time and shipping them separately on a big job, takes extra time to open, creates a mess in the shop and produces a lot of waste.
- At TaylorCraft, shipments of all but small orders are sent flat packed, no more than 36″ high on pallets, making them easy to offload and store. Doors are placed face to face, separated by foam sheets for protection. Customers can stack the used shipping pallets and sell them to companies who pay to pick them up. Our doors are packaged by job, when possible.
- When doors rub against each other, it polishes or scratches the surface – both scenarios cause finishing problems. Our packaging ensures doors have almost zero room to move, which prevents damage to the surface your customers will be scrutinizing.
- TaylorCraft’s packaging can save time and money. Many of our customers use the cardboard and foam from our packaging to wrap their cabinets and protect them in transit to the jobsite, recycling the material multiple times or even stack the cardboard and sell it to a recycler. We love to hear this! Every possible part of our packaging material is made from post-consumer recycled products.
- A dependable carrier is key! We partner with known, dependable carriers, and ship our products nationally.
We’ve done a lot of research but by no means have we stopped analyzing and improving our shipping and packaging. We welcome your comments and feedback!
While we use the most reputable carriers in each geographic area for our shipments, damage in shipment can occur. Please inspect the packaging for every job you receive and if there is ANY damage to the package, even minor damage, tears, water marks, etc., always note the damage in writing on the delivery receipt, even if you think the product is ok. Use specific details noting location and exactly what the damage is. Specific notation helps expedite the claims process if there is ever an instance where product is damaged, and it will encourage shippers to handle products with the utmost care.

Cherry cabinet door discolored due to uneven exposure to sunlight
Cherry changes color as it ages and with exposure to light so extra care must be taken to set the right expectations on color and to make sure it does not darken unevenly due to uneven exposure to light. We do have a list of tips to avoid common mistakes that can be both costly and time consuming when working with cherry wood. View our Tips on Working with Cherry Wood below for details.
When working with cherry wood, be careful to store the components and lumber completely covered until ready to finish, and be careful even after finishing.
Cherry wood continues to darken over time and will darken unevenly if exposed unevenly to sunlight.
This is less pronounced when darker finishes are applied but still good to be careful.
Below is an example of a cherry door that had a drawer front laying across the door face. The partially covered door was exposed to sunlight for half a day and you can see the pronounced darkening of the exposed wood. This dark wood can’t easily be sanded off.
This same result occurs when labels are used on components, leaving a light spot when the label is removed. We recommend keeping cabinet doors packaged until ready to finish. TaylorCraft Cabinet Door Compay’s packaging is designed to protect the door from damage in transit as well as the elements, including humidity and sunlight.
When you are finishing cabinet doors, be careful not to let sweat from your forehead drop onto the door and be careful touching the door if your hands are very sweaty. Oil from your forehead or hands can show up as spots in the finished product.
At this time we do not build doors using customer-provided material.
We have a full online gallery of cabinet door photos showcasing many of our available cabinet door designs, as well as kitchen photographs, bathroom photographs, office and study photographs and media cabinet and entertainment center photographs showing our custom cabinet doors installed. We also showcase contemporary cabinetry and contemporary cabinet door styles in our Contemporary gallery.

Book matched and bank matched hickory cabinet doors
Book matched veneer is veneer that is sliced and then every other “leaf” of the veneer is turned over like the pages of a book facing each other. The grain figures always match at the joints creating a pleasing look of continuity and symmetry in a bank of cabinets or drawers. See a photo of book matched (side to side) and bank matched (top to bottom: drawer front grain is matched to doors below) veneer doors and drawer fronts on our veneer products page and in our kitchen cabinet photo gallery.

Protecting the environment is very important to TaylorCraft. In order to do our part in minimizing our environmental footprint, we have invested in state-of-the-art machinery that reduces wood waste and saves energy. We have engineered our packaging for minimal use of material while still providing our doors with maximum protection. Our packing cardboard is made using post-consumer recycled material and we encourage recycling our packaging materials after receipt of shipment. We offer sustainable wood species such as European Beech and our wood scraps are recycled and reused by other companies.
We partner with wood suppliers who use forest management best practices as well as sustainable forest management to ensure sustainable future growth and supply and ensure overall health of the forest for future generations.
We are always looking for ways to reduce waste, reuse materials, recycle products and protect the environment and have and will continue to make changes to our processes to reflect these values.
