Rail
A horizontal member of a cabinet face frame or door frame. Rails connect the vertical stiles and provide mounting points for hinges and drawer slides in face-frame cabinets. In a door frame, the top rail and bottom rail span between the stiles and hold the center panel. Rail dimensions affect the proportions and visual weight of the door design.
