Q: Should I put hinges on the cabinet door or the frame first?

• <div><p>Unless otherwise specified in the manufacturer&rsquo;s instructions, in most cases you should attach the hinges to the cabinet door before attaching it to the cabinet frame. Once you attach the hinge to the door, you can then align it with the cabinet frame and screw it firmly into place. Be sure to consult the manufacturer&rsquo;s instructions for best practices.</p></div>

Q: Why are frameless cabinets harder to install?

• <div><p>If your walls aren&rsquo;t plumb, it can make installing frameless cabinets difficult because they require precise measurements so they don&rsquo;t show imperfections. Any dissymmetry with installation can cause the doors and drawers to not function correctly. Frameless cabinets are also thicker and heavier, making them harder to install by yourself.</p></div>

Q: How far from the ceiling should kitchen cabinets be?

• <div><p>In many homes, upper cabinets are installed with a 1- to 2-foot gap between the tops and the ceiling. However, many homeowners extend their cabinets to the ceiling to gain extra storage and a polished, built-in look. </p></div>

Q: How do I ensure drawers fit properly?

• <div><p>Careful measurement is crucial&mdash;measure multiple times and account for hardware thickness, seasonal wood movement, and clearance requirements. Test-fit components before final assembly, and consider building one drawer as a prototype before cutting materials for multiple units.</p></div>
