I agree with Thomas Richard, great assessment Thomas.
There is a lot people need to know to order the correct doors and hinges.
What to do with the cabinets also depends on your long term plans for the property. If you are planning to stay, complete replacement may give you a better value.

Not all cabinets frames are the same size, different hardware (hinges) ect.. although, they all look the same they are not. There are alot of carpenters out there looking for work. They may be able to salvage, or rebuild or replace these doors at a decent price. You could buy just the doors at a lowes or home depot and then have the carpenter set the doors with the new hardward. I would buy a sample door from the store and bring it home to see how close the fit would be

If you plan to stay in your house for many years and just want new cabinet doors, check out the big box stores, TRS' link, and run an internet search for cabinetry makers in your area. Get several quotes and see examples to make sure the wood grains will look good together.
If you are making the change because you plan to sell, a really good primer, paint in a neutral color complimentary to your kitchen walls and counters, and new hardware (hinges and pulls) can transform a kitchen at a much lower cost.

A recent study indicated that almost every "bank owned" home purchased requires a visit to Lowe's or Home Depot and will run approximately $5600.

Yes...
You can order almost any finish and/or doorstyle from Rockler.com, The sell everything you could need including how-to-guides and matching, self adhesive, wood veneers for covering the exposed sides of your cabinets and "refacing" your cabinet frames. The vendor is Quality doors...
Lowes also sells this product thru their kitchen departments, as does Home Depot (I think). I'm pretty sure Rocklers pricing will be better, you might feel better about ordering it from one of the big box stores, since (as almost everyone knows) the homes centers will take back almost anything, especially if you scream loud enough...
I strongly encourage you to think about the following downsides before moving ahead with refacing:
1) You are pretty much locking yourself into the existing layout.
2) More often than not, the cabinetry that is being refaced is "builder grade", which is akin to putting a new paint job on a 20 year old car.
3) A major percentage of the cost of new cabinets is the doors and drawer fronts (the pretty parts), which is what you are buying when you reface. At least look into the costs of new cabinets before putting out several thousand dollars or more for new doors to go on old cabinets.
4) Refacing is usually a do-it-yourself only type of project, and if you can afford to pay someone to do it for you, you are much closer to being able to afford the whole new kitchen than you might think
Good luck with whatever direction you decide to take...

Is there a place where I could purchase kitchen cabinet replacement doors?
