Custom doors in Rainbow, CA.
Custom doors for Rainbow homes, done by licensed San Diego County cabinet refacing crews. Stock cabinet door sizes cover most standard-dimension kitchens, but San Diego homes built in the 1960s and 1970s often have cabinet openings that do not match any standard size, and custom doors are required for a precise fit. We connect homeowners with insured local cabinet crews that measure each opening exactly, order custom-fabricated doors in the correct dimensions and profile, and install them for a fit that looks like it was built that way from the start..
Why is custom doors different in North County Inland San Diego?
Escondido, San Marcos, and Vista homes from the 1980s sometimes have cabinet openings where a specific door replacement was installed decades ago to a non-standard dimension, making standard replacement doors from catalogs unavailable. Custom door fabrication in this region is usually driven by a need to replace a damaged door in a profile that is no longer stocked rather than by architectural uniqueness. The crews we refer confirm measurements and door profile with the homeowner before placing any custom order to avoid errors.

How do you measure for custom cabinet doors?
Custom doors are sized based on the cabinet opening dimensions plus the overlay type. For full overlay, the door is sized to cover the face frame opening with a specific reveal (usually 1/8 inch on each side between adjacent doors). The crew measures the opening and calculates the door size accounting for overlay and reveal. Each opening is measured individually because cabinets in older San Diego homes are rarely exactly consistent.
