FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a first embodiment of a cabinet door with tread pattern, showing our new design;

FIG. 2 is a front elevational view thereof;

FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a second embodiment of the cabinet door with tread pattern; and,

FIG. 4 is a front elevational view of FIG. 3 .

As shown in FIGS. 3-4 , the surface of the cabinet door has a metal color finish, such as stainless steel for example, as represented by the gray or silver shading. In FIGS. 3-4 the shading is not extended over the tread pattern for clarity, but it is understood that the entire cabinet door can have the metal color finish. The broken line showing of the cabinet is included for the purpose of illustrating and forms no part of the claimed design.
