Full Overlay Face Frame Cabinets. Most existing face frame cabinets will have large reveals (gaps between the doors and drawer fronts). This ensures minimal gaps so that only a very small portion of the cabinet's storage area is viewable. I recently saw another cabinet shop's work and it was deemed full overlay.
We do face frame and use 1/2 overlay all around doors and drawer fronts.
Doors can bind if they're too close together. Any overlay less than a full overlay is a partial overlay. Full overlay is the most popular option these days. We do face frame and use 1/2 overlay all around doors and drawer fronts. Cabinet sides are almost always both frameless and faceframe cabinets can have inset and overlay door installations. A full overlay is a cabinet door that covers the cabinet's entire face frame. Each plate is a different height, which, in combination with the bore distance, changes the door overlay. The face frame is composed of vertical stiles and horizontal rails.
