   Used to work for several custom cabinet makers and never used such a thing. Do you mean like a weather stripping?  I would check with Rockler, CSH hardware. If they don't have it then you probably don't need it. Bumping doesn't do anything to a thread except bring it up for you. Anyone opening the forum will see your post and if they have something to add they probably will.

   Thanks Rick.  I have attached a photo showing a dust strip.  It is affixed to the inside edge of the left door.  I haven't had any luck with Rockler, CSH or Google.

   I haven't seen a gasket exactly like the one in the picture. Cabinet makers use a variety of products for dust sealing. Typically some type of weatherstripping is used. Here are a couple of links. You can browse around the Pemko offerings, they may have something like it or a reasonable substitute. You may need a catalog, some models don't have pictures. There are a lot of tape products that get used, too.http://www.buyweatherstriponline.com/orderinfo.asp?gclid=CO3e7uisypICFQhusgodQSxtbghttp://www.sellotape.co.nz/products/technical.aspxBeat it to fit / Paint it to match

   Look up weatherstripping. Dust strip is not a good search topic.

   I'm pretty sure Resource Conservation Technology has the exact weather stripping. I have a sample pack from them. (800) 477-7724

   I have never seen a cabinet with "dust strips" in 35 years of being in the business.  The one you show would not be the way I would do it. I'd mount the small brush type in a groove so you could open and close either door. Frankly I don't really see the need for a dust strip. Are your kitchens that dusty in your local?  Is that the trade mark  of a high end cabinet in your area????

   Dust proof kitchens are the rage in Europe but there are many applications in industry where contaminants need to be kept out, hospitals, laboratories, etc.Beat it to fit / Paint it to match

   The photo I attached in an earlier post is one I found on the internet, but the strip looks identical to the ones on my kitchen cabinets.  My cabinets are from Rutt, which is a high end company.  The cabinetry is 11 years old and some of the strips no longer adhere well or are ripped.

   I have seen them on many high end cabinets but have never seen them advertised as a component to the trade.
   Rutt is a well known and respected cabinet manufacturer. Perhaps trying them?

   It's a standard weather strip from a well stocked weather strip source like I gave you.

   If you are just wanting to replace them go to the manufacturer as suggested.  I was thinking you wanted a source so you could make your own cabinets with "dust strips". 

   Giving more infomation in your question will save a lot of unnecessary back and forth banter. There should be a tutorial on each froum of how to best ask a question as well as how to answer a question.
