We are remodeling room by room including needed wall repairs, paint, new doors and replacing the carpet with laminate.. Soon we will be moving into the living room and hallway. The new doors are matching 6 panel. Problem......The AC blower unit door is 32" x 56". No way to cut down a 6-panel door and make it look right. My thought is to build a rail and stile door out of 2x6. Instead of upper and lower panels I am planning to build shadow boxes about 6" deep. They will be sealed in the front and access to the shelves will be through lift out panels in the rear of each shadow box.
My concern is the door sagging over time. Any suggestions on how to reinforce it to prevent this. My only thought would be to assemble the framework (rails and stiles) with pocket screws but I'm not sure that will be enough.
