Doors of any kind take an huge amount of stress over time. If you go
with cope and stick you'll have sufficent glue area to hold it
together. If you are talking mitered or butted then M&T is the way to
go.

I've seen studies where biscuits do add some strength similar to
tennons but no where near the same strength. I consider them only
valuable for alignment.

I am thinking of making my own kitchen flat panel doors...and refacing the
cases. I have a good biscuit joiner and would like input on whether the
biscuit techniques is strong enough for kitchen cabinet doors...or should I
go with the traditional mortise and tenon assembly ?

Also..anyone know of a good site for detailed instructions/examples of a
good quality kitchen door assembly ?

Thanks, Tim
