What is the difference between partial overlay and full overlay doors?

Overlay refers to the amount of face frame the door covers.

Partial Overlay

A partial overlay door covers 1/4” to 1/2” of the face frame. This leaves a 1” to 1 1/4” reveal of the face frame. For examples of a partial overlay door, check out our Brentwood and Summit door styles.

Full Overlay

A full overlay door covers 1 5/16” of the face frame. This leaves a 3/16” reveal of the face frame. For examples of a full overlay door, check out any of our Choice Premier®, Choice Select®, or Choice Essentials® door styles.
