mine is a bi-fold. If you get the lazy susan it could be attached to the susan and remain an L. Check with the cabinet brand you are planning.

It depends...is the corner cabinet a "lazy susan" (w/a center pole), a "super susan" (w/o a pole), or just a cabinet w/shelves?

With a "super susan" or cabinet w/shelves, then you often see two narrow doors hinged together that can fold. This door configuration means less room is needed for using the door. The drawback to this is that the doors often bang against the surrounding cabinets, potentially causing dings on those cabinets and on the corner cabinet's doors. I'm not sure I've ever seen a single "L" shaped door for these types of cabinets.

With a "lazy susan", you often see a single "L" shaped door that is attached to the rotating shelves. When you open the cabinet, the door rotates in so it doesn't bang surrounding cabinetry.

If you have a "lazy susan", the single door attached to the shelves would be my recommendation.

Just a thought, we did angled corner cabinets for base and upper and I love it. Each cabinet has two super susans - they're independent, no pole in the middle. Not sure if you thought about angled but they only have one door and in my design it looks really nice not to have a 90 degree corner where my cabinets meet.

My cabinet man won't guarantee a piano-hinged corner door. He puts one door in each side of the opening--have to open the right one before opening the left one. Uses regular Euro-style hinges for each separate door, killing lots of space. I was dismayed but am getting used to it.

I have written frequently about a corner config I saw once (after ours was made)--the vertical storage unit abuts the lazy susan corner. No drawers above. A single piano-hinged assymetrical two-piece door covers both the tray storage and the corner unit--it folds back, way back, from the opening and allows the user to really get into the opening. The tray storage dividers are set back in the space so that the thin partition between that area and the corner space is as minimal as possible. A great place to store a collapsible kitchen stool. Also, the corners of the corner unit are quite accessible--store thermoses, cider jugs, booze, large reserve containers of oil, other vertical awkward items. You don't lose the space for spacers and stiles and such in this treatment, so there's more usable space.

Florantha, do you have a pic or know where to find a pic of what you described? It would be great for something to show others when contemplating corner storage. Yes, it's too late for many of us, but not for others!

I meant to specify the upper corner cabinets which will not have a LZ. The bottoms will have a LZ and I need to ask the KD about these also but I assume they will be bifold or attached to the LZ.

I've been to several kitchen design stores and have yet to find and upper corner cabinet door that was not bi-fold. Just seems logical to me. I guess if I don't like, I can always change it to bi-fold. I think I need to discuss further with KD.

buehl, I thought I had perhaps had a photo of the dual corner door but not so far... if I find it, I'll post it. Sorry.
