Submit a quote request through our Request a Quote page or call (409) 783-0600 Monday–Friday, 8 am–4 pm CT. For projects with cut lists or drawings, upload files directly via our Upload Plans & Drawings page. We review your specs and follow up with pricing — nothing goes into production until you approve the final quote.

For each door: door style (Shaker, raised panel, slab, etc.), wood species or material (hardwood or MDF), finish type (unfinished, paint-grade, or stain-grade), exact height × width for each piece, and quantity. For mouldings, drawer fronts, or custom millwork, additional specs apply — our team will walk you through anything that's not clear. A cut list or spreadsheet speeds things up.

Order requirements can vary by product and project. Homeowners can ask about a single replacement door, while cabinet shops can submit larger production orders. Call (409) 783-0600 with your quantity and specifications so the team can confirm current requirements.

Yes. Trinity Doors manufactures to the dimensions approved for the order rather than selling only fixed stock sizes. Available dimensions depend on the selected material, profile, and construction, so confirm unusual sizes before ordering.

Lead times vary by product, material, and order volume. We confirm lead time on your written quote so you can plan your schedule. Call (409) 783-0600 for a current estimate — production schedules change and we will give you an honest answer.

Our team reviews your quantities, dimensions, styles, and materials and follows up with pricing. If anything needs clarifying, we reach out before quoting. Once you approve the quote, we schedule production. Nothing is manufactured without your sign-off.

Contact us as soon as possible — call (409) 783-0600 or reply to your order email. Whether a change is possible depends on where your order is in production. We'll tell you honestly what can still be adjusted and whether it affects the price or lead time.

Yes. We work with cabinet shops, builders, and commercial buyers with ongoing production needs. Share your typical specs and volume and we'll help set up a repeatable ordering process. Call (409) 783-0600 or email orders@trinity-doors.com to discuss recurring or commercial work.

Sample options depend on the style, material, and project. Contact Trinity Doors before a production order if you need to review a sample or physical profile reference.

Yes, if the existing cabinet boxes are structurally sound. Replacing the doors and drawer fronts updates the visible surfaces while the boxes stay in place. Trinity Doors manufactures replacement doors to the dimensions and specifications approved for the order.

For replacement doors, measure the existing door itself — not the cabinet opening. If a door is missing or too damaged to measure, the opening is only a reference; contact Trinity Doors to confirm the required overlay and finished door size before ordering. Visit our How to Measure page for the full process.

Remove one door and measure height and width to the nearest 1/16". Measure in at least two places — top-to-bottom and side-to-side — and use the smaller dimension if they differ slightly. Double-check before ordering: because every door is custom made to your dimensions, there are no stock sizes to fall back on. Our How to Measure guide covers overlay, inset, and standard face-frame configurations.

Because every door is custom built to the dimensions you provide, there is no stock inventory to swap in. We strongly recommend double-checking each measurement and reviewing our How to Measure page before ordering. If you're unsure about any dimension, call (409) 783-0600 before submitting — our team will help you get it right.

In many cases, yes. Send a physical sample or clear photos with detailed measurements, and our team will review the style, panel, and edge details. A physical sample gives us the best chance of an accurate match. Include it with your quote request or call (409) 783-0600.

Often, yes. Because we build to spec and can grind custom knives, we may be able to reproduce a door style no longer available from its original source. Send a sample door or photos and measurements and we'll review what's needed. Contact us at (409) 783-0600 or orders@trinity-doors.com.

You can ask Trinity Doors about a single damaged door. Provide the dimensions, species, profile style, and whether the existing door was paint-grade or stain-grade. A physical sample or clear photos can help the team evaluate the closest available profile; current order requirements are confirmed with the quote.

Yes — and it's usually recommended. Ordering drawer fronts alongside replacement doors ensures consistent species, grain character, and profile. We build drawer fronts to match your door style. Visit our Drawer Fronts page for details.

Trinity Doors can review replacement-door requests for kitchens, bathroom vanities, pantries, laundry cabinetry, and built-ins. Provide the intended application, style, material, finish grade, and dimensions so the team can confirm the appropriate construction.

Hardware preparation depends on the door style and hinge type. Let us know what boring or preparation you need — including your hinge type and cup size — when you request a quote, and our team will confirm what we can provide.

The materials catalog includes paint-grade MDF and hardwood options such as oak, maple, cherry, alder, poplar, hickory, pine, mahogany, cypress, and beech. Availability can change, so call (409) 783-0600 to confirm the material needed for your order.

Yes. We offer MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) and paint-grade hardwood doors. MDF provides a smooth, stable, seamless surface ideal for painted finishes and is a popular choice for Shaker-style paint-grade doors. We also supply paint-grade wood species such as poplar for all-wood construction. See our MDF Cabinet Doors page for more information.

MDF is engineered from wood fibers and resin, producing a smooth, uniform surface with no grain variation, so it is often selected for painted finishes. Hardwood doors show natural grain and are chosen for stained or clear finishes where wood character is part of the design. MDF and hardwood respond differently to moisture and seasonal conditions; the right choice depends on the finish plan and intended environment.

Paint-grade materials — MDF or a smooth species like poplar — are selected for a uniform surface that reads well under opaque paint. Stain-grade hardwoods are chosen for consistent, attractive grain because a stain or clear finish lets the wood show through. Tell us whether you plan to paint or stain and we'll recommend the right material.

We supply unfinished doors — you or your cabinet shop apply the final stain, paint, or topcoat. This gives you full control over color and sheen. Our unfinished surfaces are sanded and ready for finishing. We do not apply factory paint or stain.

Solid wood is a natural material that responds to changes in humidity and temperature. Properly kiln-dried lumber, good door construction, and climate-controlled storage significantly reduce the risk of warping. For environments with high or variable humidity — such as coastal Southeast Texas and Louisiana — MDF or plywood-core doors can be a more stable option. See our blog on how wood movement affects cabinet doors for more detail.

No cabinet-door material should be treated as moisture-proof. Standard MDF has a smooth painted surface but can be damaged by sustained moisture, while solid wood naturally moves as humidity changes. Tell Trinity Doors about the intended environment before ordering so material options can be discussed for that application.

We manufacture Shaker (standard and slim-rail), Raised Panel, Flat Panel, Slab, Inset, Cathedral Arch, Beaded Panel, Glass Insert frames, and more. We also produce custom profiles — if you have an existing profile, we can grind a matching knife and reproduce it. Browse our Door Styles & Profiles page for the full catalog.

Shaker doors have a flat recessed center panel surrounded by square, straight-edged rails and stiles — a clean, versatile look that works in modern, transitional, and traditional settings. Raised-panel doors feature a center panel that is shaped and raised above the frame, typically with a routed profile on both the panel edge and the inside of the frame — a more formal, traditional appearance.

A slab door is a single flat piece of material with no frame, no rails, and no stiles. It reads as the most minimal and contemporary of cabinet door styles. Slab doors are popular in modern kitchens and work well in MDF for painted finishes or in hardwood for a natural look.

An inset door sits flush inside the cabinet face frame rather than overlapping it. Inset doors require precise fitting and hinge selection, and they give cabinetry a furniture-quality, traditional appearance. Trinity Doors manufactures inset doors — visit our Inset Cabinet Doors page for details.

Trinity Doors can evaluate an existing profile from a physical door or profile template. Depending on the shape, the team may identify a current option, suggest a close alternative, or discuss custom tooling. A photograph alone may not provide enough dimensional detail, so call (409) 783-0600 before ordering.

Yes. Once a custom knife is ground for your profile, we retain it and can run it again on future orders. This is useful for cabinet shops with recurring production needs or designers specifying a consistent profile across multiple projects.

Yes — and coordinating drawer fronts with doors is standard practice. We build drawer fronts to match your door style, species, and profile so the finished installation looks consistent.

The right style depends on the overall kitchen or room aesthetic, finish plan (paint vs. stain), and — for replacements — matching existing cabinetry. Shaker profiles suit nearly any setting; raised panel reads more formal; slab leans contemporary. Browse our Door Styles & Profiles page or call (409) 783-0600 and our team will help you choose.

Yes. Working with cabinet shops is a core part of our business. We manufacture cabinet doors, drawer fronts, mouldings, and millwork for cabinet makers who outsource door production.

Repeat orders can reference established door styles, species, profiles, and other approved specifications. Include the prior order details when requesting a quote so Trinity Doors can confirm the configuration and current material availability before production.

A complete request includes: door style or profile, wood species or material, finish grade (paint or stain), a line-by-line cut list with dimensions and quantities for each piece, and your desired completion date. Drawings, cut lists, or sample photos speed up the process. See our blog guide on what cabinet shops should include with a custom door order.

Yes — ordering doors and drawer fronts together is standard and ensures consistent species, grain character, and profile across the installation.

Yes. We manufacture mouldings and millwork alongside cabinet doors and drawer fronts. Including mouldings in the same order simplifies coordination and delivery.
