Mitered Doors & Why We Don't Make Them
Since we are a custom cabinet shop we are often asked to build
something that a customer has seen in a magazine.  Mitered doors are
one of the items that customers frequently ask us to build.  Women like
them because they have lots of detail.  We don't build doors with
mitered construction & we don't recommend them to anyone.  While
they are aesthetically pleasing and unique, they are not the best built
doors.  Wood expands & contracts width wise based on the levels of
humidity.   Like the mitered joints on the door casings in your house,
the miters will eventually open up & its to be expected & is accepted    
within the industry.  This from a major cabinet door company:

"Mitred doors will expand and contract in response to the environmental
conditions. Our doors are made with a gap tolerance of up to .010 on
the inside corner to allow for this expansion and contraction. Mitred
doors will not be warranted against joint separation that occurs due to
high or low humidity conditions.

A painted finish is not recommended on mitred doors."
