How this calculator works
Doors are priced per door, so the count matters more than the size of the room. Fifteen doors is a typical kitchen and the number most quotes are built around.
New hinges are worth adding on any kitchen over ten years old. Old hinges are usually why doors sit unevenly, and hanging new doors on tired hinges wastes the upgrade.
Before you order: measure. Standard carcass sizes make this easy on most mass-market kitchens and impossible on some older ones, where made-to-measure is the only route.

Cabinet door calculator FAQs
On most mass-market kitchens, yes — carcass sizes are largely standard. Older or bespoke kitchens often are not, and then you are into made-to-measure. Measure a door and a drawer front before ordering anything.
If the carcasses are solid and the layout works, doors give you most of the visual change for £1,000–£3,000 against £5,000–£15,000+. If the carcasses have swollen or the layout is wrong, put the money towards a new kitchen instead.
On any kitchen over about ten years old, yes. Worn hinges are usually why doors sag or sit unevenly, and it is £10–£14 a door to put right while everything is off.
A fitter will hang fifteen doors in a day. The wait is in the doors themselves — off-the-shelf is days, made-to-measure or painted-to-order is three to six weeks.
