How many sides are finished on a cabinet door?

The correct answer is that a cabinet door is finished on two faces and two vertical edges. In cabinet construction, particularly in millwork and finish carpentry, a traditionally constructed cabinet door will have one front face that is visible when the door is closed, and a back face that may or may not be finished depending on the design or installation preferences.

Both vertical edges of the door, which are the parts that are on the sides when the door is hung, are typically finished as well. This finishing is important not only for aesthetic reasons but also for protection against moisture and wear.

Understanding why the other options are less accurate highlights the importance of how cabinet doors are constructed and finished. For instance, the option that states two interior sides implies that both the front and back are finished, omitting the crucial detail of the vertical edges. The choice referencing one face and four edges doesn't accurately reflect the conventional finishing process, as it conflates the idea of edges with the faces that are typically lacquered or painted. Lastly, the option claiming all six faces would suggest that there are surfaces on the inside and edges of the door itself that are finished, which is not common practice in standard cabinet door manufacturing. Therefore, recognizing that two faces (the front and
