Parametric Resizing Question

I am new to this software so pardon me if I don't use the right terminology in describing what I want to get done.

I have a cabinetshop. I would like to produce a library of different types of cabinets.
For example, I would like to have drawer banks, sink bases, wall cabinets etc.

I saw something similar to this in a tutorial about drawing windows.
In that example they use the OFFSET tool to produce a 3 inch frame around the glazing.

In my case I would like to have 2 inch frame around my cabinet doors.
A 12 inch wide door would, for example, have an 8 inch inset panel (12 minus 2 minus 2)

If I store this cabinet door in a library can I bring it out of the library and resize it to 18 inches?
If I do this will the 2 inch offset stick? I.e. Could I resize the door to 18 inches and end up with a 14 inch inset panel (18 minus 2 minus 2)?
