Thanks, it is indeed an option I'm looking at . I'm looking for a local CNC company to quote up for doors. If I choose the custom door route It's likely that I'll go for carcasses from DIY Kitchens over Ikea, as they don't have weird sized appliance spaces, and come pre built to minimise labour costs

This is the route I'll be going. As far as I can tell a lot of the Naked, Plykea, Custom Fronts are nicely designed but basically quite simple cut out birch ply. A friend who is a carpenter but works at a place doing big ply cnc jobs has said they can do it and he'll help me fit it. I'm replacing existing doors but when we replace the kitchen I'd do what you suggest.

Those top end kitchens have such nice configs/mechanisms etc are you going to be able to get something similar with DIY kitchens?

Yes, the custom doors do look a simple design . I'm sure there is money to be saved having then CNCed yourself. Carcasses from DIY / Ikea etc will be nowhere near as nice as top end stuff, but budget will dictate this as necessary I think
