Wouldn't you know it, after asking the question, I found a site (KV Door
Hardware) which offers hardware for a minimum of 3/4" doors. Anyone
heard of them?

I'm still open for suggestions.

Thanks

My suggestion is to still use the heavier wood. Normal 1 1/4 inch
thick doors are none too strong for 16 inch panels (talking 1 1/4"
frames with panels or slats)
