CNC Cabinetry Fashion White FB10
A plain shaker door is a frame and a flat panel, and nothing else happens on it. The CNC Cabinetry Fashion White FB10 adds an accent molding running around the inside of the frame, so the face carries a second line that a plain shaker does not have. HM Cabinetry keeps the Fashion White FB10 door at the East Brunswick showroom, where you can hold it next to a plain shaker and see what the molding does.
What is built into the CNC Cabinetry Fashion White FB10
White is the color that needs a profile to survive bright ceiling lighting, because a flat white panel under flat light gives the eye nothing to read. The CNC Cabinetry Fashion White FB10 gets that from the accent molding around the center panel and from a three inch rail, and the door is held at the corners with mortise and tenon joinery rather than a mitered joint.
• Full overlay five piece solid wood door with a 3 inch rail
• Reversed raised center panel in solid MDF veneer
• Accent molding wrapped around the flat center panel
• Mortise and tenon construction
• Full 1/2 inch plywood back on the interlock system, screwed top and bottom
• 1/2 inch plywood sides, light maple veneer interior with a matching finished exterior

• 3/4 inch plywood shelves, fully adjustable
• Heavy duty concealed steel hinges, six way adjustable with soft close
• 3/4 inch solid wood dovetail drawers on stainless steel full extension undermount glides
More about CNC Cabinetry Fashion White FB10
There are two white shaker doors here worth comparing in person, and they are built differently. Fashion White FB10 uses mortise and tenon corners with an accent molding inside the frame, where the coved shaker in the Victoria line is mitered with no molding at all. HM Cabinetry puts both on the rack together, because the choice comes down to whether you want that extra shadow line, not to a difference in quality between the two.
Mortise and tenon is the joint to ask about on a painted door. The tenon of one piece sits in a socket cut into the next with glue through the joint, which gives the corner far more glue surface than a butt joint does and keeps a white frame from opening a hairline after a few dry winters. Behind the door, the Fashion box is the interlock build, a full half inch plywood back locked into the sides and screwed through the top and bottom, half inch plywood sides with a light maple interior, adjustable shelves, and solid wood dovetail drawers on stainless full extension glides.
An accent molding collects dust along the bead, which is a yearly job with a soft brush rather than a weekly one. HM Cabinetry covers that at handover, sets the six way hinges on the Fashion White FB10 after the first heating season, and orders replacement doors out of the same run so the white stays consistent across the kitchen.
