Hello,

I'm planning on changing the doors on my kitchen and was looking at a couple of places that do made to measure doors, but the problem is they are all vinyl wrapped wheras I want a better quality door - painted.

These are much harder to find as made to measure unless I'm paying a lot of money.

The problem with 'off the shelf' is that my cabinets and doors seem to be slightly odd sizes, for example my wall units are 905mm high for the unit and the door is 904mm. Standard seems to be 900mm high and 895mm high doors.

Does this sound right or is my measuring tape on the fritz? Any experience of fitting a 895mm door to a 905mm cabinet?

It's a few mm short you could loose a couple of mm at the bottom and the rest at the top where it may not notice. Are you sure your cupboards have not expanded due to water or heat damage? Vinyl wrap does tend to melt.
 
Pretty sure its not he effect of heat or moisture, all the units are perfectly square and dimensions are consistent.
