Blind corners...PLEASE help!

14 years ago

I know....NOW I ask for help!!

My custom cabinets have been done for weeks.....BUT. There is this issue with the corners. We do not live there yet, and the counters are weeks away from being installed, so we WILL fix this!! They will not get paid until they do, either. I am trying NOT to turn this into a vent. Trying....

The doors on either side of the corners, which currently house big turntables, are assymetrical. They have two piece doors that hinge in the the corner, and they are NOT working. Thy have tried different hinges, little clips, etc, but they don't close correctly!

I cannot find the dimensions that I need on the websites to help me solve the puzzle. I need to know what DOOR size they fit, not cabinet size. I want them to make them into pull outs on one side, with blind organizers on the other. I am trying to do this without replacing the whole box, because they will mess up something ELSE taking it out!! Sounds negative, I know, but I have saw cuts in the closet ceiling from the electrician, and sorry, venting.....

Does anybody have some door measurements on blind organizers they could share? Do these things have a range of usable sizes, for retrofitting?

I think my door pieces are 12", 15", and maybe 17".

Thanks, hope some of this makes sense!!

Do you need me to come stand over them while they fix this? I can...

As for corner cabinets?
I'm a Lazy Susan kind of girl. That eliminates all this kind of hoo-ha.

Good luck, my friend!

No, it's not clear what you are asking for. You say you have a two piece door for the corner and turntables? That usually means an L shaped corner cabinet with lazy susans, not a blind corner cabinet. If you had more room in one direction from the corner than the other, you could definitely have an asymmetrical corner cabinet, which is usually 33" in on direction and 36" in another. That's a great solution to that problem, not a problem itself. The standard double hinged door for a corner cabinet would be asymmetrical in that case and nothing would be "wrong" at all.

So, do you have a cabinet plan that you can post with dimensions that illustrate your problem here? Pictures? Because it sounds like there might not be a problem at all with the cabinets, just a problem with them communicating with you so your expectations would align with what the plan actually is.

LOA, yes ,you are correct, but the cabinet and lazy susan are not the problem, it is that they cannot get these doors to hang and stay shut, and we don't even LIVE in the house yet! I am trying to solve this problem by doing something different. NOW he says he can put in a filler, etc, but dang it, I paid for custom cabinets so I did not have to deal with THAT!!

CEF! Come on down!! We are back in Texas, but I don't think you are much closer! Know any TKO bouncers in southern Kentucky??

Thanks, y'all!

Oh, shoot.
Why did I think you were up here?
Well, find me some beaded inset cabinets and I'll travel.
Just gotta have a glass of wine when I get there.
