Can I buy solid inserts for kitchen cabinet doors online?
My DIY project is to fix up the kitchen cabinets, which are missing the inserts and need to be painted or refinished. I want to buy either finished or unfinished raised panel inserts to slide into the frames. I have been searching online and can't find a supplier. Please help!

No you can not. Everything in modern cabinetry uses industry standardized sizing in 3" increments. If your kitchen has some age to it then there are no standards. They just cut openings and made the door to that size.
One of your 2 options would be to buy new doors. They really are not expensive. They might run from $20 to $50 each depending on size and about $15 for drawer faces. Remember, very few cabinet stores/manufacturers/shops make their own doors. Making cabinet doors is a whole nother businsess. Instead they order doors from cabinet door manufacturers. Just google the magic words for your area. Some will not sell to the public so keep looking. Rockler.com will work with the public but are a little high.
The other option is to put glass in your frames. I assume they are a frame with no center but there should be a rabbit cut to accept glass or wood. If you have this rabbit groove then you could buy quarter inch thick cabinet grade plywood and cut the panels yourself. If you dont have a big table saw the big box stores make cuts for like 50 cents each but in all my years I have never seen a Home Depot or Lowes employee who knew how to read a ruler let alone cut outside the pencil line.
That is your options……good luck
have you thought about frosted glass inserts – check out a DIY website or ask @ a DIY store to see if they know of anyplace or can place an order for you
