I'm pretty handy so I figured if i could get someone to make me the doors.. the install part is pretty straight forward. I just couldnt justify paying someone almost $200/door.. (at least thats what I was quoted over the phone.)
During our recent trip to lowes, the wife really liked the white shaker style door out of all the options they had. We just wanted a little upgrade on these dated cabinets.

So I had these same cabinets in my last apartment and they were literally falling off the hinges, mainly due to this rediculous old style hinge (I can’t tell if yours are the same but they look like it from memory) also the hinge you have pictured has obviously been retro fit as they either said fuck the old hinges like mine or it just stripped out the frame holes and couldn’t hold any longer
I can pretty much build/fix anything and for the life of me I could not get new hinges to work on these doors. So in your case replacing the doors and getting new hinges may work but Jesus Christ I tried like 4-5 different hinge styles, milled my hinge holes on the doors bigger etc and still they barely worked
I basically left the new buyer with superrrrr sketchy hinges but they worked well enough to sell the place lol
