	The Kitchen - Part Two Cabinet Door Ideas

	Mounting The Panel To The Frame When mounting wooden panels to the frames, don't glue them in. As we mentioned before, the wood panels need room to expand and contract with changes in the environment. The easiest way to provide this room is to mount the panel in the frame with four #8 x 5/8" long roundhead screws and washers. Position these screws a few inches left and right of center at the end grains of the panel...giving the critical dimension (across the grain) as much freedom as possible. Drill oversized 7/32" pilot holes for your screws to allow for movement. Metal, tempered hardboard, plastic or glass panels can be attached with glazing points or with screws (except glass panels, of course). Finishing and Installation Stain the doors to match the cabinet frame, if desired. hen choose a waterproof finish that cleans up easily. We recommend either tung oil or polyurethane. Tung oil will give you a soft, natural finish and bring out the grain of your wood. Polyurethane will give you a deeper, glossier look. Either will wear well. Clamp or wedge the doors onto the cabinet frame in position and drill for hardware. Attach the hinges, catches and pulls, then stand back and admire your work. You'll be amazed how one simple project...new cabinet doors...can give your entire kitchen a new look!
