Frequently Asked Questions

Q

How do you calculate kitchen cabinet linear feet?

Measure each run of upper and lower cabinets separately in feet. Add the linear feet of upper cabs, lower cabs, and tall pantry/oven cabinets (each counts as about 2 linear feet) for the total.

  • Upper cabinets: measure the total wall length above the countertop
  • Lower/base cabinets: measure the total run below the countertop
  • Tall cabinets (pantry, oven): count each as ~2 linear feet
  • A typical 10x10 kitchen has 20-25 linear feet of total cabinetry
Q

How much do kitchen cabinets cost per linear foot?

Stock cabinets cost $75-$150 per linear foot, semi-custom $150-$300, and fully custom $400-$800+. These prices include the cabinet boxes and doors but typically exclude countertops and installation.

  • Stock (pre-made sizes): $75-$150/lf, 1-2 week delivery
  • Semi-custom (modified sizing, more finishes): $150-$300/lf, 3-6 week lead
  • Custom (any size, unlimited options): $400-$800/lf, 8-16 week lead
  • Installation labor adds $50-$100 per linear foot on average
Q

How many hinges do kitchen cabinets need?

Standard cabinet doors need 2 hinges each. Doors over 40 inches tall need 3 hinges. A typical kitchen with 18-24 doors needs 36-48 hinges total.

  • Doors under 40 in tall: 2 hinges per door
  • Doors 40-60 in tall: 3 hinges per door
  • Full overlay doors: use 35mm European cup hinges (most common)
  • Soft-close hinges add $1-$3 per hinge over standard
Q

What grade of kitchen cabinets should I choose?

Choose stock for budget renovations under $10,000, semi-custom for mid-range kitchens $15,000-$30,000, and custom for high-end projects over $30,000 where every inch of layout matters.

  • Stock: best for standard layouts, rental properties, quick flips
  • Semi-custom: best value for homeowners with 3 in size increments
  • Custom: required for unusual layouts, specialty storage, premium materials
  • All three grades can use quality hardware: hinge and slide quality matters most
