Did you take your cabinet doors off to do this? How do you know how much to get for a kitchen cabinet job?

I did take the doors and hardware off. I used less than the pint container for my 2 door cabinet in bathroom after applying the 3 coats. If I was completing a kitchen I would definitely buy larger size.

Yes. I took the doors off. A little goes a long way. It depends on how many cabinets you have and how many coats you put on. Personally, I would probably go with the larger can for a kitchen.

Yes, in order to get the cabinets stained well I removed all screws. You need to do a light sanding anyway to remove the gloss finish. The gel goes a long way. I like the sock method to get gel on and it takes a couple of coats. However, I was able to buy a quart and did my kitchen and a bathroom.

I prepped my cabinet just like you would to paint. I took off doors and used painters tape to protect the floors and wall. There are lots of good DIY blogs on this. I would recommend googling or searching Pinterest to figure out how much you'll need for your project.

Yes the doors are taken off. Depends on how many cabinets. A pint goes pretty far. You can always order more. They ship pretty fast.

Jenna, I did take my cabinet doors off. I thought it much easier to take them off and laying them on the work bench to sand and stain. All I have done so far is my bathroom cabinet, but am planning to do the kitchen cabinets next fall. I bought one quart for the bathroom cabinet, which is a very large cabinet. I did not make a dent in the stain. I probably could have used half a pint, but I over guessed on what I needed. I'm thinking I will have enough of that quart to do all of my kitchen cabinets. The Java Gel Stain goes a very long way. By the way, I gave my bathroom cabinet 3 coats, to get it as dark as I like. Jenna, I did take my cabinet doors off.

Hi, I have bought two of this cabinet. The first one was two years ago. Looking at them, they have different hinges. The first one has a more expensive looking scissor type hinge. The second is a basic pin type. I would ask for a whole new set, or look at the side of the cabinet where the hinges mount. Is it bent? They both seem like they are self closing, so if it doesn't close all the way, there must be something wrong with the hinge. Hope this helps.

Not at all. I'm very happy with them, I've installed 20 of them now. (we have a lot of cabinets). Highly recommended. on installation, here's a tip: When installing the latch part, put the screws in the center of the holes, it allows for final adjustment without redrilling. Once I figured that out it went like clockwork installing the rest.

Here is a link to the installation video http://glideware.com/video I put 2 screws in the door frame. flush with the cabinet frame and 2 screws in the back of the cabinet. I too have a drawer above. It worked out great.

Did you clean your cabinets well before painting...I have had for several months; but they still look wonderful.....

All I used was a screwdriver. Every thing assembled nicely and I so love this cabinet. Thanks again

No , it wasn't to bad 30 to 45 minutes. The only thing is you have to drill a hole for the door knob. :) I love my floor cabinet!!!

I suppose it would depend on your cabinet's particular dimensions. It might vary from one customer to another.

The half pint should be sufficient. I covered a little more than that square footage on a few medium-sized cabinets (two coats) and used about 1/3 of a pint.

Sorry, I sold the piece on which I used them, but cabinet screws are a standard size (these were standard) so you should be OK. If the screws are too wide, just drill a slightly larger hole. If they are too small, the knob itself will cover the hole on the front, use a washer on the back if needed (unlikely) and make sure the knobs are screwed down nice and snug. Length is more what you have to be concerned about because of the variability of the drawer/cabinet thickness. But that's a problem that can be easily solved by buying longer (or shorter) screws. Most knobs come with longer screws that "snap" off these days. Can't remember what came with these.

I have a total of four units. Two without doors on the outside & two with doors in the middle. If you have both sets of doors open, the door fronts can hit one another... that's to be expected though & the issue can be eliminated by opening one cabinet unit at a time. The hinges do not hit. Mine are on carpet so it was tough to level them. The trim molding on the top edge isn't perfect so you can tell it's more than one unit. I may put one single trim board across all four at the top, middle & bottom to give the illusion it's one unit rather than four. Your concern will not be an issue though. Good luck!!

You will basically have to start over at square one. My cabinets came out beautiful. When I sold my home, my agent was very surprised to find out I had done the cabinets myself.

yes, I don't have the cabinet at work, but I think they had pegs to raise it or lower it to different levels. But I was really happy with the quality. You can also lock this cabinet.

The key, hardware, and instuctions are taped to the bottom of the cabinet. Just turn it over!

Hi Wendy, This was a super buy. I don't have exact count of cabinets. I needed some blind corner cabinets (2) and ordered those. This is definitely a great set-up and high quality. You would get same for double the price at hardware store. Very happy with purchase. Sorry I don't have precise figures but you may contact seller for info. Good luck in remodel

The door really make this cabinet! I think I would look for something without doors if I didn't want them on. I would be OK I guess, but there would be holes were the door goes.

Do not do that unless ypu plan on securing them together. Look into getting a bigger cabinet just to be safe. Seriously it will fall over if you stack them. Not worth the injury.
