How Thick Are Cabinet Doors?
How thick are cabinet doors? Cabinet door thickness can vary slightly depending on the style and construction, but most doors follow a few common industry standards.
Most kitchen cabinet doors are around 3/4″ in thickness. At this thickness, the door is strong enough to resist warping and daily wear, while still being light enough for hinges to perform properly over time.
It works, and it has become a common expectation for designers and homeowners across the industry.
Here’s a simple breakdown of the most common sizes by door style.

Our MDF800 door style is 3/4″ thick. Slab door fronts are a single, fiberboard surface (made of HDF, despite our product code) with no frame or center panel.
