A metal "strap" across the back of both items.

Yeah,you can get metal plates specifically intended for such jobs as a

lot
of units have dummy drawers which are attached to the lower door so both
open together . It is basically a rect metal plate with a screwhole at
each corner and you just screw them to the drawer/door .I suppose you
could even use a piece of wood if you werent too fussy about how it

looked
as it is normally unseen .


Except....

There's a quarter inch gap built into the design between the top and
the bottom sections (don't ask me why) so anything I fix to the back
of the two sections will show through the gap. Its not a problem for
*me*, you understand, but....well....

But it must have shown before?


Sure, the gap was showing before (its intended to, since the two parts
were deliberately spaced using plastic washers on the metal pins to
keep the parts apart), but there was nothing behind it before. If I
fix something to the back of the door to hold the two pieces together,
it will show through the gap.
