You should only see biscuits on your shelves and they should be the edible kind. I don't think you should see any birch biscuits on your doors. That seems quite odd to me.

without looking at the bisctuis, measure the gap between the panels ( doors connected to one another). Tell us then what should go in that gap to fill that air space.

pic?

They should have just made a tall door!

That should be one of them. Biscuits are supposed to be completely concealed inside the panels they connect.

Here's a guess : you need your false doors to line up with operating doors next to them, so you need to have a gap ALSO to align them. If so, just fill the gap with whatever works for you.

I think you should mention it.

Without a picture I can't really say, but depending on the finish of the cabinets, it might just require the biscuits being painted or stained to be less obvious.

But hey! You got biscuits! I've had much cheesier means of attaching doors together. MM now I'm hungry....

If I'm picturing this correctly, you have 3 separate doors doors vertically joined together with biscuits to act as a single door for a tall pantry? That right there is a big mistake. And not the biscuits. The design. A pantry should have a tall door at the bottom and a shorter door on top. If it's tall enough, then you maybe have another door on top of that. THey should NEVER be joined together to work as a single door. Wood expands and contracts and that's why you have independent doors. Joining them together with a biscuit lets them expand and contract and then you see the biscuit because they've expanded and contracted at different rates. And the only thing joining them is a biscuit, which is a weak joint. You either have a taller door (no more than around 48" tall though, due to chance of warpage) with tongue and groove joinery, or you have completely separate doors.

Thank you for your responses to my desperate call. i know I should have pictures. it will come once I find it :)

lazygarden: Yes the biscuit should be completely concealed inside the panel they connect so the doors are flush. I wonder if they can repare this. The cabinet makers are coming back next week to tweek anything that needs to be. They are very good so that might not be a problem...I hope

live wire oak, as usual, gives an excellent explanation.

Seeing biscuits is wholly unacceptable. It's like wearing your underwear on the outside. Not done. Ever.

Live wire oak: You are right. I do feel as if my cabinets are showing off their undies...thongs for that matter!!
Thanks a bunch

Hi,
If I had to arrange both doors to open together (I am assuming that they are still all individually hinged), instead of a few biscuits, I'd have routed out a slot on both edges and fabricated a continuous spline to co-join the doors. The spline could float all together, or be glued into one of the slots, but not both; as seasonal movement has to be accounted for. The spline would be finished to match, or stained black to appear as a shadow line. But separate biscuits, while functional, is an aesthetic no-no.
