[Woodworkers] A really woodworking question

A door that tall should probably be built as a stile, rail, and panel  
system with at least three hinges. You could build them as either inset or  
overlay doors depending on the style of kitchen. There are both flush   mounted 
and 3/8" offset face mounted hinges in a variety of cost points. You  could 
use the flush mounted for an inset door and the offset for an overlay  door.
 
Good Luck!!

Our office  assistant is trying to help her BF fix up his kitchen in an 
older house.   There is a cupboard with an opening that is 24 & 1/8” by 54 & 3/4
”  that she wants to put doors on.  Apparently it had ¾” plywood doors 
that  were not even close to being flat and closing properly. 
She has  asked me what my thoughts about a variety of things and all I keep 
seeing is  that 54” is one tall cabinet door and I can’t get past  that. 
She wants to  use a decorative butt style hinge to hang them.  She found a 
company that  makes MDF doors today but they are only 5/8” thick and she can’
t find a hinge  that works for that.  I played with some MDF several years 
ago and was  not overly impressed.  I’m thinking that the doors will be too 
heavy for  those little hinges and the screws are not going to  hold. 
Am I over  thinking this?   
She keeps  asking me to build them and I keep saying “stand in line”.  I 
really  don’t have time and I don’t care much for the BF so I’d rather not 
build  them.  Course I’m not sure how I would anyway.
