Cupboard door replacement in Kenya

Replace cupboard doors while retaining sound existing units.

A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Fictional replacement of four cupboard fronts D01–D04 on a sound existing carcass. Nominal sample faces are 450 × 700 mm, but actual cut sizes, door thickness, grain direction and overlay/inset configuration are separately approved for every opening. Reuse hinges/handles only if their exact model, condition and compatibility pass inspection; the final hardware count comes from the hardware maker for each door, not a universal hinge-per-door rule. Deliver a signed cut/drilling list, one fitted reference door and three matching accepted doors.

Who is the first customer?

Landlords and homeowners refreshing cabinets.

Test the offer
