Shaker kitchen tall & larder doors
Kitchen tall & larder doors in our shaker profile, machined one-piece from moisture-resistant MDF to your exact size. Larder and tall-unit doors are large and unforgiving — any bow or joint movement shows immediately on a full-height face. Machining them one-piece from high-density MR MDF keeps them flat and seamless where a framed door would risk telegraphing its joints.
The shaker is the definitive English kitchen door: a flat recessed centre panel framed by clean, square rails and stiles. Ours is machined from a single sheet rather than framed from five pieces, so there are no mitre joints at the corners to crack or shadow through your paint.

Frequently asked questions
How wide should the rails and stiles be on a shaker door?
Traditional English kitchens usually sit around 70–80mm, which is what our standard shaker opens at; drop towards 45mm or below and the door reads contemporary. You can set each rail and stile independently in the configurator, and it doesn't change the price — we price by area, so you're choosing the look, not paying for the frame.
Can I have the recessed panel on both faces?
Yes. Front-only is standard, but you can pocket the back face as well — worth doing on island ends, room dividers and any door that's seen from behind. It's a second machining pass, so the configurator reprices as soon as you turn it on.
Will the panel joints show through the paint?
There are none to show. A five-piece shaker is glued up from four frame pieces and a panel, and those mitres are what crack and telegraph through a sprayed finish as the parts move. Ours is pocketed out of one sheet of MR MDF, so the face is continuous.
Are these made to measure?
Yes. Every door is CNC-machined one-piece from moisture-resistant MDF to your exact width and height — enter the size in the configurator and the price updates as you type.
How are they made?
From a single sheet of ultra-high-density MR MDF, so there are no mitred corner joints to open or shadow through your paint.
