Cabinets with inset doors have the door set into the frame, sitting fully flush when closed. At times you will see the hinges attached to the outside, and this requires precise work during the fabrication.

Partial overlay cabinets show much more of the cabinet frame, with about 1” to 2” of the frame exposed.
