All glass? Or with a wood frame?

All glass with have to be tempered, and there are hinges for them.

Any glass shop can do the all glass doors. they will most likely
send them off to be tempered.

Hi DarkWolfz,

I made these glass doors for my tv cabinet recently.

I used a rail & stile router bit (Carbitool part no.TPDR10B1/2). These bits are made for raised panel doors so i had to modify the rails and stiles to suite the fitment of a piece of glass. This just involved removing the portion at the back of the rail/stile that normally traps the panel so that the glass is fitted after the door is glued up.
Clear as mud.

I ordered the toughened glass cut to size.

Hope this helps.

Steven.
