        Try and find true 1/4" material for an easy solution , most production shop pin our panels in from the back side , I use the pin nailer and 5/8" pins .

      The pin does not penetrate the panel ,it  only pushes the panel forward and stops rattleing it  goes between the back of the panel and the back side of the groove .

      I pin all my panels in regardless of size , it helps to keep them centered .

        You could also make tongue and groove doors on the TS , and make the groove the correct size and just a square edge on the inside of the frame .

                     hope this helps

   Easier to use a panel that is thicker than 1/4", and cut a rabbet from the rear to get your 1/4" thickness around the perimeter. Since it's ply you don't need to leave any expansion room and the shoulder of the rabbet will fit right up next to the frame. So, from the front the door will be identical, and from the rear it will be OK as well.

   I think your solution is good.  However, I have already purchased a sheet of  1/4 inch plywood and would like to go ahead and use it if possible.

   If the sheet gives you enough to spare, double it up.David Ring

   Virtually any regular lumber yard will sell plywood that is a true 1/4" -- made specifically for applications such as yours. I would suggest you either return the sheet you bought, or set it aside for another project.********************************************************
