Finding replacement kitchen doors for a discontinued kitchen can be a real struggle, especially if you want to keep the original style and avoid replacing the entire kitchen. Over time, manufacturers change their ranges, finishes are retired and exact matches can become harder for them to source. However, with careful research, it is often possible to find a close match or an alternative that refreshes your kitchen while still keeping your existing cabinets.
Colour Matching
When a kitchen range has been discontinued, finding an exact replacement door can be difficult. However, some replacement kitchen door companies offer colour matching services.
A colour matching service allows a supplier, like https://www.happy-doors.co.uk/shop/products/kitchens, to create a closer match of your custom kitchen doors by analysing your existing door or a sample from your kitchen.
This can be useful when you are replacing just one or two damaged doors or adding new units to an already existing layout.
Ask for Samples
Even with colour matching technology, lighting conditions and the age of your existing kitchen can affect how close a match appears. Always request samples before you place a full order and compare them in your kitchen under both natural and artificial lighting.
Look for a Close Match Instead
If the original door is no longer available, a close match may be the best solution. Many replacement door companies offer similar styles, colours and finishes that will blend well with your existing kitchen. Small differences in colour or texture are often less noticeable when replacing multiple doors rather than adding just one.
