ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a cabinet system and a method of manufacturing cabinets which allows the use of identically machined door and side panels to produce cabinets in either the inset or the overlay configuration. In the inset configuration, the exterior surface of the door is flush with the end surface of the side panel. In the overlay configuration, the door lies on top of the end of the side panel. By using hinge mechanisms which have either a substantially straight housing or an offset portion, door and side panels having identical bore configurations can be used to produce either inset or overlay style cabinets. Spacers may be used with the hinge mechanisms to produce half and full inset or overlay configurations.
