Base cabinet - a cabinet that sits on the floor. These cabinets usually support the countertops. They differ from wall cabinets which hang on the wall. Base cabinets vary in width but are typically 24” deep. Carcass - the entire box of the cabinet. Concealed hinge - a hinge that is not visible on the front door of the cabinet. Concealed hinges are attached to the inside of the door. Drawer face - The front piece that is attached to the drawer box. May also be called the drawer front. This is where the drawer handle is typically attached. Drawer box - the box of the drawer - typically without the front face, but sometimes the front face is part of the drawer box. Exposed hinge - a hinge that is visible on the outside edge of the cabinet door when the door is closed. Face frame - the wood frame that is attached to the front edges of the cabinet. This frame helps provide strength to the box. Cabinet that include this feature are called “framed” or “face-frame” cabinets. Framed Cabinet - a cabinet that uses a ‘face-frame’ which is a frame attached to the front of the cabinet box. The doors typically sit within this frame or overlaps the front edges of the frame In this picture the strip of wood around the perimeter and under the drawer is the face frame. Frameless - a cabinet that does not use a frame on the front edge of the box. The front of the cabinet reveals the side, top and bottom edges of the box. Doors and drawers cover the exposed edges so the edges cannot be see when doors and drawers are closed. Provides more usable storage inside the cabinet. Full-inset - a cabinet style where the doors fit inside of the face frame when closed (rather than overlapping and sitting on top of the face frame). Full overlay - A cabinet style where the cabinet door or drawer front covers all of the face frame so that only the cabinet door is seen with no part of the face frame visible. (Also see “overlay”). Partial overlay -A cabinet style where the cabinet door or drawer front partially overlaps the face frame. When the drawers/doors are closed part of the face frame remains visible. Rail - the horizontal pieces of a face frame or door frame. Stile - the vertical pieces of a face frame or door frame. Toe kick - the set back or cutout at the bottom of a cabinet that allows room for a person’s feet when standing in front of the cabinet. Wall cabinet - cabinet boxes that are mounted to the wall.​ ​
