Custom Front Panels Dimensions
Upper and lower panel minimum thickness is 5/8" (16 mm). Panel thickness above 11/16" (18 mm)
can be accommodated but product depth will increase accordingly.
Custom front panel material must be suitable for damp conditions or adequately sealed to withstand
moisture. Using a moisture resistant material can provide additional protection. Taping edges alone
may not provide adequate sealing. For painted panel, paint all rear edges to improve sealing.
NOTE: Do not cut beyond outline of
medallion cutout shown above.
Rout a 1/4" (6 mm) radius around
back side of medallion cutout.
3. Measure and mark the vertical centerline
and horizontal position line on the back of
the front panels.
