9 Door Panel Installation Custom 1/4'' Thick Door Panel Insert Door Panel Preparation A custom door panel may be inserted into the doorframe. Custom door panels can be flat or raised, as long as the maximum panel thickness, where inserted into the door reveal (channel), is no more than 1/4" thick. For raised panels, the depth of the reveal is 1/4" on all four sides. IMPORTANT Raised panels will reduce the door’s 90° swing/zero clearance if the unit is installed next to a wall or similar type of structure.
