Cabinet Door Glue

Moving to a new house and have to shorten
a cabinet and doors above the refrigerator.
The cabinet is ten years old but no longer
manufactured.
Are there any solvents that would help break
down the glue in the door framework? I hate
to start pounding on the corners of the doors
only to have them splinter and crack in every
direction.
Thanks in advance for your help...Ski Dog

Use a block of wood and a sharp whack with a mallet and you will find they
will pop,
I have never been able to not do this on production doors or dovetail
drawers.

Good luck,
George

Thanks George.....
I too have whacked them with a mallet but wanted
to be certain before I destroyed an out of production
door. If it all comes apart it will be an easy fix.
Seems like every I blink something new comes
out to make a task easier. Just checking before
going into battle. Thanks again.....Ski Dog
