Remove this line.

A rotation here will only rotate the door. It will not affect anything 
attached to it.
----> don't rotate here!

Make sure that one edge, preferably the hinge axis, of the door lies ON 
the Y axis.

This must be located relative to the door at it's starting location.

This rotation will affect EVERYTHING in the union and make it orbit 
around the origin. Very probably the cause of your unexpected movements.

New union:
union{
	object { cabinetcase  }
	union{ // for the door itself
		object { door  }
		object { handle  }
		rotate Door_Opening
// This will rotate ONLY the door and it's decorations
		translate Door_Location
// To place the door at it's final location
		}
	rotate Cabinet_Rotation
// To align the cabinet to a wall or some thing
	translate Cabinet_Location
// Final placement of the whole cabinet
	}

Remember to rotate THEN translate.

If you translate then rotate, the rotation will cause the object to 
change position. Usefull if you want to place several objects in a circle.
