Abstract: Techniques are provided for constructing an appliance door having a metal-to-metal-to-glass bond. In one or more implementations a glass panel is mounted to a door skin of a door panel, the door skin having multiple slots. Adhesive is applied to the side of the door skin opposite the glass panel along a path created by the multiple slots. Afterwards, a metal frame is placed on the adhesive creating a metal-to-metal-to-glass bond with increased structural strength and a reduced gap between the glass and metal of the door panel.
