Custom door panels allow you to blend the exterior of your refrigerator into the overall kitchen décor. If you plan to install custom wood panels, you will need to create the panels yourself or consult a qualified cabinetmaker or carpenter. Follow these panel dimension and placement instructions to be sure that the custom panels will fit properly.
