Half Overlay

A door mounting style where the cabinet door covers only half the thickness of the face frame stile at each door opening, commonly used where two doors share a single center stile. Half overlay is the standard overlay for shared-stile configurations in face frame cabinetry. It allows two adjacent doors to open without interfering with each other while leaving a portion of the face frame visible between them.
