Do I have to have the door on?

No, but there would be visible notches that are pre-cut where the hinges go. Seems like you would want to come up with a way to hide / fill-in them. The notches are on the front right side (when facing it.)

There are two notches in the side frame where the door connects that you would have to fill or at least color in white. Otherwise, it would look fine without the door.

No, the door doesn't need to be installed, but there are pre-cut notches for the hinges that would be exposed on one side.

Yeah, you really do, because if not there will be exposed cuts in the wood where the hinges go.

No, you don't need to have the door on (I put the door on because its louvred look matched the effect of the venetian blinds at my windows) HOWEVER, I think not using the door will reveal may be two un-laminated strips of about an inch long on the front upright edge, which will show the chipboard that the nightstand is made from. These strips are where the hinges holding the door are mounted to the carcass (i.e. the main body of the nightstand).You might be able to use a bit of self-adhesive white edging strip (very cheap - on a roll just like Scotch tape, from Lowes/HomeDepot/Walmart) to cover the unsightly bare woodchip.

i guess not. The inside is finished, and looks identical to the outside, but there are some pre-drilled holes for shelf-height adjustment that might be visible if you didn't attach the door.

Are you asking how to install them without the door closing while you're doing the install? If so, we installed to the door then held it up like it would be when it was shut and screwed the hinge to the cabinet frame. If you're asking if the self-closing is optional, no its not. Like Kemosabe said, its a wonderful feature, but it's not optional, so you'll need to find different hinges if you don't want that feature.

You can leave the door off if you wish , no hinges attached hope this helps.

Hello Phillip; There is a front door but no back door, if you leave the back panel off then you will have an opening in the back. Bob

No, you have to buy a cover separate. If you keep it in doors you don't need one though.

My Wife who I bought it for says no. Sideways on with the door open is the way to get the most benefit from it. Desmond Davey,30 Dec.2013

You have to turn the button. I like this feature since it's easy to tell if the door is locked with out opening the door.

No - there is no front door. On a side note my daughter absolutely loves this house. It's really cute!

If you don't have a slid up door it would have to go inside. There would be no opening for him to go through to get to it on the outside.

I would say yes ... I tried using a normal door, but the door kept on opening ... I use an external door and that is fine.

I would say no. When the door is in the up position it holds the door up. It takes downward pressure to lower the door and close it.

Yes, there is an inside removable door. I keep the door next to the opening so I can close it off at any time.

The door really make this cabinet! I think I would look for something without doors if I didn't want them on. I would be OK I guess, but there would be holes were the door goes.
