Frequently Asked Questions

What are hinged wardrobes?

Hinged wardrobes are fitted wardrobes or freestanding wardrobes with a swinging door mechanism – they open and close on hinges and are one of the most common wardrobe choices. They swing open fully, making your belongings inside easier to access and are versatile, fitting into any design style with a plethora of finishes to choose from.

How wide can a hinged wardrobe door be?

The maximum recommended width that a hinged wardrobe door should be is around 550mm. This avoids excessive strain on the hinges and door frame. This can be extended to 600mm but this means a large door to open out.

For wider door openings, consider two smaller hinged doors or a sliding door for more stability and longevity. These options can be crafted completely custom to the measurements of your freestanding wardrobe or fitted wardrobe, just get in touch, and our team will discuss your options with you and we make doors to any size to fit the aperture size we design for.

Can you replace sliding wardrobe doors with hinged doors?

Yes, you can out hinged doors in a sliding door aperture, but because the front frames are made and fitted differently, you would require a complete replacement front frame. Our experienced team at Custom Creations will advise you on this during your free design consultation, and do all the work for you so that you’ve got new, hinged doors on your freestanding or modern fitted wardrobe that will last for years to come.

What is the difference between fitted wardrobes and hinged wardrobes?

A fitted wardrobe describes the installation method of a whole wardrobe that has been custom-made to fit into your space perfectly, utilising every inch, maximising storage space, and has been crafted by a joiner or carpenter. This can be anything from regular fitted wardrobes to a whole walk-in wardrobe.

A hinged wardrobe is a simple reference to the door mechanism on a wardrobe that opens with traditional hinges. Hinged doors can be a part of a fitted wardrobe or a freestanding wardrobe.

Are hinged doors cheaper than sliding doors?

As a general rule, sliding doors can be slightly cheaper than hinged wardrobe doors, but it very much depends on the width and the style of sliding doors you choose.

However, if you’ve only got a small space to work with, sliding doors and a built-in wardrobe around your bed might be the right choice, as they don’t swing open like hinged doors. It’s worth considering what type of wardrobe doors are the best for your needs and the look you want to go for.

Replacing any doors you don’t like or aren’t suitable down the road will be much more expensive compared to investing in the perfect wardrobe doors first.
