Butt Door

A pair of cabinet doors that meet at the center of a double-door cabinet opening without a center stile (vertical divider) between them. Butt doors provide a wider unobstructed opening for accessing cabinet contents, which is especially useful for storing large items like platters and baking sheets. The doors typically have a slight overlap or magnetic catch to stay closed securely.
