Boring for European Hinges
To order doors bored for hinges check “Bore L (left) or Bore R (right) on your order form, next to each door that you want bored. Specify left or right bore as viewed from the front of the door. For bottom hinge bore write “bore bottom” in notes section of order form. Standard bore pattern includes center cup and dowels. For cup only (no dowel holes) specify “cup only” in notes. Standard lead time applies.
Standard placement is shown below. Call for information on special hinge bore placement.
Bore hole is 3-3/4” on center from top of the top rail edge and bottom of the bottom rail edge to the center of the bore hole.
Hinge boring is not available with OEABD outside edge.
THIS BORE PATTERN DOES NOT WORK FOR ALL HINGE TYPES. Check your hinge manufacturer for their required bore setting. TaylorCraft sells Blum® Clip Top 120° European Hinges (71T5580) and hinge plates (175L6630) which work with our boring pattern shown above. Screws are not included.
Special Considerations:
- Doors taller than 45” ordered bored for hinges will automatically receive 3 hinge bores unless otherwise requested.
- Doors taller than 55” ordered bored for hinges will automatically receive 4 hinge bores unless otherwise requested.
- Doors taller than 65” ordered bored for hinges will automatically receive 5 hinge bores unless otherwise requested.
- Doors and drawer fronts ordered outside of size recommendations become the sole responsibility of the customer.
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 and mitered doors to reduce overall drawer height or use a slab drawer front with similar outside edge. The profile pages in our specification guide show mitered drawer front profiles next to the mitered door profiles on page 15, and recommendations for slab drawer front outside edges are provided.
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 recommend splitting a typical raised panel door into two panels divided by a center rail or stile at 48″ height and 24″ width to prevent warpage and twisting.

Our in-the-white, or unfinished cabinet doors are finish sanded before shipping. You may need to give the doors a light touch up sand before staining depending on the amount of time and humidity exposure between shipment and staining.
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.

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.
We will inspect your material and make a determination at that point. Pricing will be quoted per job.

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 Echo Wood and our wood scraps are recycled and reused by other companies. 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.
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.
