    plexiglass is lighter than glass and easier to work with...most of the time I've used a jig saw to cut it. check with a habitat for humanity RE-store. They might have cabinet doors in stock. measure carefully. many times you can replace the center panel with the plexi.

    • You can buy glass door hinges and have pieces of glass cut with edges ground smooth. The hinges can be mounted to the cabinet. I had these on an entertainment center.
    • You can build picture frames and mount glass inside frame and use standard hinges.

    For custom pieces we have used a local glass cutting company. If I take them my measurements they will cut glass to my specifications.
