Keystone is having a recall on cabinet doors with glass in them. My dealer asked me about ours this week, and informed me if the glass looked wrinkled to let them know so they could order us new doors.

Well, they are supposed to have them ordered, so we'll see.

Give them a month and I'll call, and then another month
and another call - then I'll ride their b---s until I get them!

I can be nice, when I have too...........

Thats what I say. Plastic film on the inside. Thats why they call it safety glass.


By safety glass I meant the type that when it breaks it becomes small non sharp pieces. Not the type for car windows with interior film. I think that is obso;ete. I can't see that the windows on newer cars have it. We have mirrors on several of our cabinets and they have lasted 17 years without film.

1. Yes safety glass has the film sandwiched between two panes of glass.

2. I can't imagine why they would put safety glass on cabinet doors.

3. I would be willing to bet that this film is nothing more than a film they put on the glass during shipping. Now they might call THAT safety glass, but that film should be removed by the dealer prior to your PDI (especially if it is wrinkled).

I would get another opinion from a glass man. If it is true safety glass, have the dealer replace it.

There is a sticker on the back of each of the 5 cabinets inside stating NOT to remove this film as it acts as a safety barrier.

In addition, it is caulked around the entire inside of the window area.

So it looks to me like it is SUPPOSED to be left on and that is what the dealer
said also. That is why he is ordering new cabs.

To remove this film, I would also have to remove all that caulking, so I think
I'll try and wait & see IF they really do get me the doors as promised.

Thanks all,

Jo

I think I missed your question. There is no garentee that the new door's film will not wrinkle. It is possible that the auto film will also. You would need to remove the calk to install the auto film. Perhaps installing plywood that matches the door frame is the answer. Or you could request new doors that are all wood. Good luck
