INTEGRATED PANEL
NOTICE
Due to differences in surrounding cabinetry the
panel may not perfectly align with door. The
procedure below is designed to provide a
finished integrated panel that seamlessly
integrates with surrounding cabinetry.
The door panel must not weigh more than 20 lbs
(10 kg).
It is important to ensure that all drilled holes are
drilled to the correct depth in order to avoid
splits in the wood when hardware is installed.
When applying an integrated panel to a unit,
ensure that both sides are finished in order to
prevent warping. In some panel installations,
the panel may be visible through the glass while
the door is open.
A full integrated door panel completely covers the door
frame and provides a built-in appearance.
Integrated Panel Preparation
1. Cut the panels to the dimensions listed in the diagram
below.
2. Optional: Stain or Finish panel to desired stain or color.
Be sure to closely follow the instructions provided by
the manufacturer.
3. Optional: Install handles and hardware.

6. Align the panel with the outside edge (opposite the
hinge) and high enough to align with the highest point
in the door/drawer.
7. Insert panel underneath top hinge and apply upward
pressure while bringing the lower portion of the panel
flush to the door inside the lower hinge. The panel will
fit snuggly
8. Align door with cabinet. Tighten the top 3 screws,

certain the tape will
not damage panel
finish upon removal.
