Cabinet Doors

Cabinet doors are an influential design element of the kitchen. Doors are produced in many different styles, finishes, and materials. In addition, to change the door front, the panel can be removed and replaced with glass, metal, and cloth inserts. See our Style section in the Research Phase for samples of the many styles available. According to Herrick Kimball, the author of "The Kitchen Consultant", "Much of the cost of manufacturing cabinets is in the doors, and when you go to a kitchen showroom it's usually the doors that catch your eye." When you visit a kitchen showroom for the first time, you may be overwhelmed by the variety. This is where your research will have narrowed this list down.
