Label each door: It sounds so simple, but when you have more than one door, they can all start to look the same. I found that using labels makes the installation process smoother and helps in maintaining consistency across the project. No matter how well you plan, details can get overwhelming if they're not clearly marked.
For the handles, I went to a local hardware store, San Diego Hardware, to see the unlacquered brass handles in person and pick the style I wanted. I ended up going with the Emtek Merrimack door levers for $155 per door, emphasizing the importance of choosing hardware that complements your decor and personal style.
I made sure I had the right materials. I bought six two-panel shaker style doors from The Home Depot for $168 per door. It’s crucial to source quality materials tailored to your specific needs, contributing to an overall cohesive aesthetic in the apartment.
I did buy a hinge guide for my router and a helpful door handle jig from The Home Depot that made measuring and planning my hole placement much easier, costing around $65 for both. Investing in the right tools can significantly simplify any home renovation project.
