I have just finished building my pantry. It has a door made of painted MDF that is 40x195. Now, after a couple of weeks, it is starting to look a bit like a banana. The upper and lower corners are bending outward. I guess it's because the air in the pantry is a bit humid since there's a vent in there.
Yesterday, I tried attaching a couple of magnetic locks, but they weren't strong enough to pull in the corners sufficiently. So now I'm thinking of bracing the door from the inside somehow. Maybe an L-profile in aluminum that I screw along the front edge?
I have a couple of similar doors on another cabinet (without a fresh air vent) and they are still flat. So I don't think filing a complaint is an option. It will just happen again.
Any other tips for a solution?

Funny, I have made a wardrobe door from regular MDF which is covered with paneling.
The paneling was attached with a little glue and brads, then it is painted with white paint.
Nothing warping there, 3 hinges and 1 magnetic catch.
