Have you wondered if you can add metal cabinet door inserts yourself? You can easily remove the existing glass from your cabinet doors and replace it with something else like these perforated metal sheets. I used this style door in my home office builtins and for a custom air return cover.

Why add metal cabinet door inserts?

• Visual interest and texture – if you have a room with a lot of solid door cabinets, adding a different door insert will break up the monotony of the same material all around.

• Conceal the interior – unlike a plain glass door that reveals the contents of the cabinet, a metal insert keeps a less than perfect interior out of sight. It also looks better than glass if your cabinets are empty behind the door (see stacked cabinets in the photo above).

• Updates old glass – maybe you have a glass insert that has a decorative detail like etching or leaded elements you no longer like and would like to update.

• Easy DIY – replacing the glass insert with a metal insert is an easy and inexpensive DIY that requires minimal tools and materials.
