These doors are just loose (they need to be finished before gluing). Door 1 on the right, learned a few things with it and door 2 on the left will require less pre-finish planing to clean up the fit.
The top rail on the right side door....I dropped, and spoiled the miter fit and will remake once I'm done with the other doors if steaming that bead doesn't bring it back to something acceptable.

Changing brakes and rotors on a car, building a bunch of junk for a garden and fixing some other things has slowed time to make these. Once I have the panel and the rails ready to build, door two took about two hours. I don't know if an hour is possible profiling, grooving, mortising and fitting, but I aim to find out by door #4!!
This is the princely plane that does the grooving (a plane that I actually made for grooving drawer sides for the kitchen - it cuts off center on 3/4ths stock, but that turns out to be just what I need here to push the panel to the front of the rail a little bit and prevent a bead from having a tall flat side down to the door panel):

I would rather build tools and guitars than furniture by a mile, but i'd rather build furniture than change car pads and rotors on an older car that's filthy rusty!! But the economic proposition of changing brakes and rotors is a lot more convincing - $450+ worth of pocket cash in 3 hours.
In the US, we no longer get brake rotors with chromium in them. The amount of salt used here in the snow belt makes for spectacular rust and relatively frequent changes (every several years).
