Installation and Maintenance Tips

It's important to note that the glass panels for our custom glass-ready cabinet doors do not come with the cabinets. You must find glass panels from a local retailer and install them yourself.

Once you purchase the glass, you must ensure it's properly secured to the cabinet door. After setting the glass in the door, you can use decorative clips or apply a bead of silicone to secure it.

What’s the Best Way To Add Glass Panels to Cabinet Doors?

The best way to add glass panels to cabinet doors is to start with doors specifically designed to accommodate glass inserts. These doors typically come with removable center panels or are pre-routed for glass. If modifying existing doors, it’s important to work with a professional to ensure the structure remains secure and the glass fits properly.  For a seamless solution, consider ordering a custom glass door crafted to fit glass inserts securely and ready for installation.
