Bad glue and not enough on it to hold the joint. It may be that you're getting quite a bit of expansion from the panel against the rails and stiles, too. Apply Titebond III and clamp, done in an hour.
I think these trailer builders probably order thousands of doors for cabinets and try to find the lowest bidder. It wouldn't surprise me if that supplier is somewhere off-shore, like in Asia.
WRONG. Except for a very small few, ALL Cabinets and Doors are built at the factory in their own woodshops. Doug
I have to agree with Doug. The cabinet doors in my Keystone appear to be well made with clean miters, and cross pieces assembled with mortise and tenon joints, but when you look closely at the construction, you can see the fine wire staples used to hold it together.
I've given up complaining about quality. I accept that these are built for minimal expense to the company using minimal skilled workers and I just continue to fix the problems with the satisfaction that my repair is better than the factory's product or the dealer's repair.
