First, the door has to be raw wood; no stain or paint on it. Sand it to 120 or 150-grit sandpaper. Some people would argue that you should sand it to 220-grit but using sandpaper that fine tends to close the pores in the wood and it doesn’t accept the stain as well.
Put out on a pair of rubber gloves and apply the stain with either a foam brush or a clean rag. Allow the stain time for it to be absorbed into the wood. The longer you let it sit the darker it will be, but it will only darken so much. Once you are happy with the results wipe off the excess stain and allow it to dry. Apply your topcoat and you’re done.

I have white kitchen cabinets and the doors/drawers that I use the most, are lifting on the very top of the door/drawer. Glue has not held it. Any repair advice?
If it is painted you will need to sand well...then stain.
Thank you so much it's great appreciated
