5. I looked everywhere for doors with no luck
My experience was about the same as yours. No one would sell them to me. I then started to consider making my own - and may still do so. My plan is to laminate back-painted glass to an MDF backer and frame the whole deal in stainless steel edging. I want a very slick, high gloss look. Ikea has some that look like this, but they're high gloss melamine, but they're simply not available in the range of sizes I need.

Scroll down to 'high gloss foil' to see what I'm talking about: http://www.ikea.com/ms/en_US/complete_kitchen_guide/kitchen_know-how/basic_elements/doors.html

Similar doors were on a line of Italian cabinets that I saw at Home Expo, but the cost would exceed the value of my house, cars, and business.

I spoke to a glass guy and he said my idea is very feasible, although he's never seen it done.
