Face frame construction is the traditional
method used to build antique furniture and cabinets.
A frame surrounds cabinet opening providing a solid
structure to hang doors from. This type of cabinet
construction allows for 3 door styles: inset doors,
lipped half overlay doors, and overlay doors.
Inset doors are hung flush with cabinet
surface.
