Metal/Glass Doors?

Post by Pat McFadden »

I'm doing a job with metal framed glass doors. (See pic). Any good ideas for how to get a door like this into eCabs? Does eCabs offer a way to add new types of doors beyond the Conestoga and slab doors provided?

Thanks,
Pat

Could you not use a MDF door with the inner rout to that profile, then add the finish that you want?

Thanks, Rick. I could try that. Would the glass automatically sit in the frame like in the picture?
I was able to make a simplistic metal and glass door by taking a Comestoga TW-10 door (frame only + glass) and changing the texture to a silver/gray. Any idea where I can find a texture that looks like brushed aluminum? Any way to frost the glass?

Cheers,
Pat

I've been playing around with the MDF doors. I made a tool thinking that it would remove the center portion and create the step profile, but the program will not allow the removal of the center material :( .

It can be done with PE cuts and display panels, they just can't be resized.

Rick,
Thanks. Those look pretty darn close. What's a "PE cut"?

Thanks,
Pat

Hi Pat
Here is one you can play with
The cabinet is all metal should resize
Door is 3/4"x 2" (Stretchers)
Cabinet is 1/16" metal ends are bent up
All you have to do is resize the glass
