Partial Overlay

A door mounting style where the cabinet door partially covers the face frame, leaving a visible portion of the frame between adjacent doors and drawers. Partial overlay is the most common and economical door configuration in face-frame cabinetry, with typical overlay dimensions of ½ inch to 1¼ inches. It gives kitchens a traditional look with visible face frame lines and is available in standard, half, and variable overlay options.
