We had the kitchen cabinets designed with some of the shelves open with an eye toward adding some aluminum framed glass doors later on. The first set of glass doors to be added consisted of three aluminum narrow frame (stainless steel finish) doors with a somewhat obscure glass (galette) to be operated vertically.
The doors were ordered from doors2me.com and the fit and finish are excellent. The doors were predrilled to receive hinges by Blum (model: Adventos HK-S vertical lift system). Installation was fairly easy. I made a template from scrap masonite for setting the hinges for drilling. Align the dimples in the holes and drill the holes for hinge attachment. Doors were predrilled to receive the special narrow door frame Blum adapter for fitment with the HK-S hinge. The Blum lift system works well. Adjustments allow tweaking the up/down, right/left, and depth of the doors, as well as spring tension aiding in lift. All hardware was purchased through cabinetparts.com. Knobs are ordered and will be added upon arrival.
I am planning to add a double hinged aluminum framed door to the upper corner unit as well as double doors to the upper book shelf unit.
