    What is the purpose of this door hardware?

    I'm resizing a kitchen cabinet for a friend which may include reducing the height of this door by about 6" but this black hardware (on the left side) is in the way.

    What is it's purpose?

    The significant problems we encounter cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them.

    The penalty for inaccuracy is more work

    I’ve seen something similar which was all thread and used to straighten a warped door.

    I'm also guessing it's to keep the tall, narrow door flat...I've used steel to do that myself.

    I knew you guys would have the answer, Thank You.

    It's the Planofit system from Hafele to keep long doors straight. should have known, I've seen doors with steel angle inserted for this purpose.

    Probably costs a lot more then a length of angle iron painted to match.
