Browse Forums Kitchen Corner 1 Aug 27, 2010 11:06 am I am about to have a kitchen installed however the company has now informed that they are unable to make my pantry cupboards & a broom cupboard as 1 single panel door (w 400 & h 2250) - they say it needs to be cut in half otherwise it will warp. Does anyone else have this product & is it cut in half? I would like to check the manufacturers specifications but do not where to obtan? There standard size cupboard is 2150- which is still cut in half. Thanks Re: Kitchen cupboard panels 2Aug 27, 2010 1:10 pm 2250 is getting up there in length but 400 isnt very wide. Is it laminate/chipboard/melemine/etc... or MDF?

Come to think of it i have had similar sized laminate doors as well and never had this problem. Provided you have enough quality hinges i can't see why it would be a problem at all, for a door 600 or less in width. I think you would have more problems from the ammount of weight pulling on the top hinge so it will pay to use decent hinges and maybe upsize the screw mounting it to the unit.
