Templeton is a Shaker-style door from Kitchen Craft — a clean traditional Shaker profile with refined inside edge detail. The standard Templeton construction provides clean classical character at a more accessible price point than the five-piece variant in the same line.
What Standard Templeton Means
The standard Templeton door uses MDF center panel construction with solid-wood frame, while the five-piece variant uses solid-wood throughout. Both share the same Templeton visual language and the same inside profile, so the visual difference is subtle: the five-piece version has more dimensional joint detail, while the standard version reads cleaner and more uniform across the door surface.

Best Application
Refined transitional kitchens, classical-leaning remodels, primary residences where the standard construction provides good value without sacrificing visual character, and homes that pair painted cabinetry with traditional architectural detail. Templeton works in nearly any cabinet color and across most kitchen palettes.
Hardware Direction
The traditional Shaker character pairs cleanly with brushed nickel, aged brass, oil-rubbed bronze, polished chrome, and matte black. Long bar pulls suit transitional contexts; cup pulls and refined knobs suit traditional contexts. The Templeton profile detail accepts most hardware proportions without competing for visual attention.
Color Selection
Templeton is available in the brand's full paint and stain palette. Cool whites suit modern direction, warm creams suit traditional direction, saturated colors create dramatic statement, and stained wood options provide refined warmth. Confirm color choice with a sample door under your kitchen's actual lighting.
