I'm learning how to make a cabinet. The one I have in mind is a small medicine cabinet, recess to the wall.
I'd like to have a door with wood frame and a glass panel. I know there is some kind of clip to clip the panel to the frame. I went to HD but they don't sell that kind of clip. They said their cabinet comes just like that.
Where can I find that type of clip? I don't want to glue the glass to the frame. Any suggestion(s) would be very much appreciated.

HD sells thousands of items you don't need, none of what you do need.

Great links thanks ya'all might try
(Chuckle) I hear that, but Lowes does fine for the few things I do need.
But I'll keep those websites. Never know. :)
Use a small molding around the glass to hold it in place or make your own wooden clips.
N > Couple of different ways of doing this, one uses pointed sheet metal N > "things" that slide aloing the glass pushing the pointed end into N > surrounding wood. Look at wwhardware.com for similar things. Visit a N > REAL hardware store and forget HD.
I think you're suggesting "glazers points" for window glass.
Another option would be to "make a picture frame" out of wood lath or something thin. The inside edge would hold the glass in; the outside is screwed into the cabinet frame (I'd drill pilot holes so as to not split the wood).
