Aside from the typical widths of styles and rails used for cabinet doors, is there any width limit beyond which the coped glue joint will crack when the rail expands? Is this any better with mortice and tenon frames? How do they make the wide rails used in passage and entrance doors stay put?
I have never seen that happen. PVA glue allows some creeping and I have seen loads of cabinet doors where the rail has just shrunk a bit, you can feel or see the movement along the top and bottom of the door.
Is this any better with mortice and tenon
In this part of the world traditionally a double tenon would be used on a wide rail. That is one tenon above the other, in line. Traditionally the mortice and tenon would not necessarily have been glued but either pegged or wedged and if it was glued the traditional glues were a bit crap.

Is this any better with mortice and tenon
In this part of the world traditionally a double tenon would always be used on a wide rail. That is one tenon above the other, in line. Traditionally the mortice and tenon would not necessarily have been glued but either pegged or wedged and if it was glued the traditional glues were a bit crap.
Typically if you apply a finish to all the surfaces there should not be enough movement to be of any worry. I have never really worried about that and have never had a failure, in 30 years.
