How Much Do Replacement Cabinet Doors Cost in Toronto?
The cost of replacement cabinet doors in Toronto depends on the size of each door or drawer front, the profile you choose, the quantity required and whether the doors are ordered unfinished, primed or professionally painted. Replacing the doors can be an effective way to give an existing kitchen a completely different appearance while keeping cabinet boxes that are still in good condition. If you already know your finished sizes, Miter5’s online cabinet door calculator lets you compare styles and build an estimated order using your actual dimensions.
Replacement Cabinet Door Prices in Toronto
There is no useful single price for a replacement kitchen cabinet door because cabinet doors are not all the same size or design. A simple slab profile requires less machining than a detailed recessed, stepped or raised-panel design, while a tall pantry door contains substantially more material than a small drawer front.
Miter5 manufactures cabinet doors and drawer fronts to the finished dimensions required for each project. The table below shows current examples for two common painted door sizes so you can see how both door style and door size affect the price.
| Cabinet Door Style | 15" × 30" Painted | 24" × 39" Painted |
|---|---|---|
| Mercer — Smooth Slab | $168.75 | $259.88 |
| Aria — Grooved Modern Slab | $181.25 | $279.13 |
| Aurora / Belmont — Shaker Profiles | $187.50 | $288.75 |
| Vermont — Dado Shaker | $200.00 | $308.00 |
| Avada / Belview / Yorkville — Detailed Profiles | $206.25 | $317.63 |
| Alpine / Palmerston — Thin Shaker | $212.50 | $327.25 |
| Cumberland / Hampton / Manning / Palmetto / Seaton | $218.75 | $336.88 |
| Euclid — Architectural Raised Panel | $231.25 | $356.13 |

Calculate Your Actual Cabinet Door Sizes
A kitchen rarely contains only one door size. Instead of multiplying a generic price by the number of doors, use the Miter5 cabinet door calculator to enter each finished size, quantity, style and finish. You can build the complete order and see an estimated subtotal before sending it to Miter5 for review.

What Affects the Cost of Replacement Cabinet Doors?
When comparing replacement cabinet door prices in Toronto, four factors have the greatest effect on the estimate: dimensions, profile, finish and quantity. Understanding these differences makes it easier to compare door styles without assuming every replacement door should cost the same amount.
1. Finished Door Size
Larger cabinet doors require more HDF and more machining area than smaller fronts. Each piece is priced using its finished width and height, with Miter5's minimum billing and size rules applied automatically by the online calculator.
2. Cabinet Door Style
A flat slab door is simpler to manufacture than a door with recessed panels, narrow Shaker rails, fluting, grooves or several CNC-machined details. More complex profiles therefore carry a higher price than simple slab designs.
3. Finish
An unfinished door is priced differently from a primed or professionally painted door. Painted orders include the additional preparation and finishing required to produce a completed cabinet-door surface.
4. Number of Doors and Drawer Fronts
The total project price comes from the complete door schedule. Kitchens often contain several widths and heights, multiple drawer fronts and sometimes tall pantry or appliance-panel doors.
Small Drawer Fronts Can Have a Minimum Price
Very small drawer fronts still require material handling, CNC setup, machining, sanding and finishing. For this reason, the Miter5 calculator applies a minimum billable area of 1.5 square feet per piece. This prevents a very small front from being priced as though manufacturing effort disappears simply because the piece contains less material.
Detailed Profiles Cost More Than Flat Slab Doors
The Mercer cabinet door, for example, has a smooth minimalist face with no decorative routing. By comparison, profiles such as Yorkville introduce a recessed centre panel and additional inner-edge detail, while other doors in the collection use fluting, grooves, stepped profiles or raised-panel machining.
This is why comparing only the price per square foot can be misleading. The amount of CNC machining and finishing work can change significantly from one door style to another.
Replacing Cabinet Doors vs Painting or Replacing the Whole Kitchen
Before ordering new kitchen cabinet doors, it helps to decide what actually needs to change. If the cabinet boxes are structurally sound and the existing layout works well, replacing the doors and drawer fronts can update the visible design without rebuilding every cabinet.
Paint Existing Doors
Best when you already like the existing door profile and mainly want a colour change. Painting keeps the same doors, drawer fronts and overall cabinet style.
Replace Doors & Drawer Fronts
Best when the cabinet boxes can remain but you want a different profile, such as changing an older raised or dated door to a slab, Shaker, thin Shaker, fluted or recessed-panel style.
Replace the Full Kitchen
Best when cabinet boxes are damaged, storage needs have changed, or you want to redesign the kitchen layout rather than simply update the visible cabinet fronts.
Replacement doors are therefore not simply an alternative way to repaint a kitchen. They allow you to change the actual shape, rail width, panel detail and overall style of the cabinetry while retaining usable cabinet boxes.
Can I Replace Kitchen Cabinet Doors Without Replacing the Cabinets?
Yes. If the existing cabinet boxes are in good condition, new doors and drawer fronts can be manufactured to suit the existing cabinetry. This is commonly referred to as cabinet refacing or a replacement-door project, depending on how much of the exposed cabinet surface is also being changed.
Because Miter5 manufactures doors to order, you are not restricted to standard retail sizes. This is particularly useful for older kitchens, custom cabinetry, vanities and built-ins where the original door dimensions may not correspond to today's stock sizes.
You can browse all custom cabinet doors available from Miter5 and compare slab, Shaker, thin Shaker, fluted, recessed and more decorative profiles before choosing a design.
How Do You Measure for Replacement Cabinet Doors?
Accurate measurements are critical because replacement cabinet doors are manufactured to the dimensions submitted with the order. The dimensions required by the Miter5 calculator are the finished door or drawer-front sizes, not simply the width and height of the cabinet opening.
A practical replacement-door schedule should record:
- Finished width of every door and drawer front
- Finished height of every door and drawer front
- Quantity of each identical size
- Selected cabinet door style
- Required finish: unfinished, primed or painted
- Any hinge-boring or project-specific requirements
If you are uncertain about measurements, an existing cabinet door, photographs, drawings or project details can also help Miter5 review what is required before production.
What Are Miter5 Replacement Cabinet Doors Made From?
Miter5's paint-grade cabinet-door collection is manufactured using HDF selected for routed cabinet doors and professional painted finishes. CNC machining allows profiles, grooves, recessed details and other decorative features to be produced consistently from one door to the next.
HDF and MDF products are commonly used for machined and painted interior components because the material can be routed, shaped and finished with a smooth surface. For additional technical information about MDF and Ranger HDF products, see West Fraser's MDF product information.
Material is only one part of the finished result. Proper CNC machining, sanding, edge preparation, priming and painting all contribute to how a finished cabinet door looks and performs.
Are Custom Cabinet Door Sizes More Expensive?
With made-to-order doors, custom sizing is part of the normal manufacturing process rather than an unusual exception. The price changes primarily because the finished size changes the amount of material and machining involved.
That means a 14" × 28" door and a 19" × 36" door can both be manufactured as custom sizes, but they will not necessarily have the same price. The online calculator handles these differences automatically instead of forcing the project into a limited list of standard sizes.
This is particularly useful when replacing cabinet doors in Toronto homes with older or custom kitchens, where door dimensions may vary substantially throughout the room.
Can Miter5 Match an Existing Cabinet Door?
In many cases, yes. If you are replacing only part of a kitchen or need to reproduce an existing profile, you can provide a sample door, detailed photographs, measurements or drawings. Miter5 can review the information to determine whether one of the existing cabinet-door profiles is suitable or whether a custom variation should be considered.
Matching an existing door is different from selecting a new style for an entire kitchen. When only several doors are being replaced, details such as rail width, groove location, panel depth and edge profile become especially important because the new pieces will sit beside the originals.
How to Estimate the Cost of a Complete Kitchen
The most accurate way to estimate a complete replacement-door project is to build a door schedule rather than multiplying one sample price by the total number of doors.
For example, a kitchen may contain several narrow base doors, wider upper doors, small drawer fronts, a tall pantry door and different quantities of identical pieces. Each of those sizes can produce a different price even when the same cabinet-door style and finish are selected.
With the Miter5 calculator, each different size is added as a separate order line. Identical pieces can be grouped by quantity. The calculator then creates an estimated subtotal for the complete door order.

Calculate Cabinet Door PricesFrequently Asked Questions About Replacement Cabinet Door Cost
How much does one replacement cabinet door cost in Toronto?
Using current Miter5 painted-door pricing, a common 15" × 30" door ranges from approximately $168.75 to $231.25 depending on the profile. Larger doors cost more, and unfinished or primed finish options are priced differently.
Can I order just one replacement cabinet door?
Yes. Replacement cabinet doors and drawer fronts are made to order, so a project can involve an individual replacement piece or a complete kitchen package.
Can I replace cabinet doors without replacing the cabinet boxes?
Yes, provided the existing cabinet boxes are suitable to remain. New doors and drawer fronts can change the visible style of the cabinetry while the existing boxes stay in place.
Are replacement drawer fronts available too?
Yes. Matching drawer fronts can be manufactured with the cabinet-door order. Depending on the selected style and the height of a small drawer front, the appropriate matching slab or routed configuration may be used.
Do replacement cabinet doors have to be standard sizes?
No. Miter5 doors and drawer fronts are manufactured to order, making them suitable for custom cabinetry and existing kitchens where the required dimensions do not match standard retail sizes.
Can I choose a custom paint colour?
Yes. Painted cabinet-door projects can be reviewed for custom colour requirements so the new doors can coordinate with the kitchen, countertops, walls or other finishes in the space.
Does the online calculator collect payment?
No. The calculator provides an estimated price and allows you to submit the door schedule to Miter5 for review. Sizes, quantities, finishes and production details are confirmed before production, and no payment is collected through the calculator itself.
Should I enter cabinet opening sizes into the calculator?
No. The calculator is designed for finished door and drawer-front dimensions. Do not assume the cabinet opening dimensions are the same as the finished replacement-door size.
