Should i have exposed hinges on my kitchen cabinet?

June 14th, 2008
sil asked:

I am thinking about refinishing my kitchen cabinets and to have it painted white. It doesn’t seem like I can get concealed hinges . Should I not worry about exterior hinges as being passe and buy white hinges to blend with the cabinet color or should I spend twice the amount and reface only to get the concealed hinges. My cabinets are in great shape with 3/4 inch solid wood. Also I have a contemporary/traditional decor

My kitchen cabinets were purchased buy the previous owner and I don’t know where he bought them from. My kitchen drawer that holds the utensils has completely fallen apart and I’m not a handy person.

Need help with replacing cabinet pulls in kitchen?

June 9th, 2008
blondepegasus asked:

My kitchen cabinet pulls are very outdated. I tried painting them silver to update them but they just stick out like sore thumbs now. Then I tried to buy replacements but can’t find any with holes that match the existing holes. I started to drill new holes but they’re so close to old holes, it’s precarious to say the least. Does anybody have a suggestion short of filling some of the holes and having to paint the cabinets. They’re stained medium/dark and I’d like them to stay that way!

What is the best way to cut a kitchen cabinet?

June 9th, 2008
3lowries asked:

We are replacing drop in range with free standing and have to remove the cabinet box below. It is too tight for a jigsaw or circular saw. Will a sawzall cut it smooth enough? Will we be able to do it ourselves or should we have a cabinet maker do it???
Thanks
Cyndi
The oven has been removed-there are cabinets on both sides and formica countertop. I need to cut out the box (which was under the range) but the plywood runs all thru the entire bottom of that wall of cabinets..so I need to use a saw that can cut right up against the wall of the cabinets, to get it out. Then cut about 1 inch off the formica countertop and the new range will fit. I just dont know what is the best tool to use.

Help! I have a lower kitchen cabinet w/an inset shelf that I want 2 remove. Is the shelf a support 2 the unit?

June 5th, 2008
harleyhon444 asked:

This is a below-counter cabinet. The single shelf is non-adjustable as it has been recessed into grooves on either side of the inside cabinet walls. I was going to cut it out in order to remove it but someone suggested it might be a support to the overall cabinet itself. Does anyone know anything about this? Will my cabinet fall apart if I cut out the shelf?
