Abstract
A corner bracket may include first and second retainers configured to receive respective ends of first and second frame members, such that the first and second frame members are substantially perpendicular with respect to one another. The first and second retainers may include structural and sealing portions, wherein the structural portion includes a first material and the sealing portion includes a second material, with the first material being relatively more rigid than the second material, and the second material being relatively more elastic than the first material. The corner bracket may also include first and second exterior surfaces at least partially including the second material and first and second door panel interfaces configured to provide a seal between the first and second exterior surfaces and interior surfaces of first and second door panels in a closed position. The corner bracket may be incorporated into a frame for a cabinet.
