I am doing the hidden dishwasher thing, three panel face,(outsourced), fluted pilaster flanking with hidden knife rack and spice rack. The problem, in attempting to make it look like a three drawer chest i need to put handles on each of the three simulated drawer faces. Panel material is 3/8th's, cant countersink the screw so it does not keep the panel from securing tightly against the dishwasher door. Also the pull point to open the door is not 5 or 6 inches down from the top(not great leverage). i could easily place the handle up high, in the top rail, but there goes the chest of drawer illusion. Had i built the panel myself, i could have beefed up the panel at least----any ideas? thanks

I don't think it will look horrible with the pulls mounted on rails, but obviously not as nice as in the panel, especially if the rest of the kitchen has the pulls mounted differently....or will they?

any room to add a "backer" panel to the existing one, or is the fit too tight?

You answered your own question, build yourself a beefier panel.

If that is not an option, I would suggest eliminating the dishwasher - that's why people get married.
