What about Gorilla glue, would that work for an application like this?

Yes it would but they have recommended this other stuff because

I find that stuff difficult to work with...it does foam all over the place...if somebody wanted to spend the time experimenting w/ it and get that under control, it's probably good stuff...but I don't think it'll have any more holding power than TB III ;) ...

When using gorilla glue, cover the areas you dont want glue to get on with blue painters tape, moisten the wood with a mist of water. I use both and Gorilla Glue is the strongest of the two. If you cant find Titebond III at HD or Lowes, do a google search for woodworking supply stores. If it was me I would be careful about using wood screws to hold it together, find a hardwood dowell a little bigger and glue them in place of the smaller ones. Clamp it together on something flat, just snug, too tight squeezes all the glue out, When you glue the rails and stiles ( thats the fram pieces ) your gluing end grain to the long grain, not much strength. Dowells are gonna be best

I agree w/ Franco on usin' dowels instead of screws...


...and what ever glue you use, overage will not take stain like adjacent wood, til ya SAND the PI$$ outta it ;) ...

Like I said, cover the areas you dont want coveres in glue with blue painters tape, after about 30 minutes you can peel it off and leave minimal glue residue!

Also, with gorilla glue it can be cleaned up with mineral spirits while still damp. Once dry a sharp chishel will remove any excess. Titebond will not bridge gaps but Gorilla will. Gorilla works well on oiley woods. However, if you think the gorilla or other glues will get on clamps or clamping blocks put wax paper between the clamps or blocks for a no stick surface. Suggest you wearing gloves while using Gorilla. You won't need screws except to attach the hardware.
