minimum 5/8” (16mm) thick panel is required, but
the thickness can be increased provided it does
not exceed the maximum panel weight is 65 lbs
(29kg). Please note that the combined door and
overlay weight cannot exceed 242 lbs (110kg).
The depth of each model is 24” (610mm) without
a finished overlay. Allow for panel thickness when
planning the finished opening depth. Templates
for 4” and 6” solid and glass door models can be
found on pages 85-88
.
Reveals between panels can vary – 1/8” (3mm) is
the minimum.
When installing a panel thicker than 3/4” (19mm),
the 90° stop may be required to prevent damage
to the unit and adjacent cabinetry.
As reveals between cabinetry and the unit
decrease, severe finger pinching can occur while
the door is closing.
Finish sides of surrounding cabinetry — they will
be visible when the door is open. The height of
the custom door panel can extend beyond the
typical panel height provided the door and overlay
combined do not exceed 242 lbs (110kg) .
