Help: does anyone recognise this kitchen?

[DavidR98]

My kitchen fitter went bust before finishing the job, and I am missing the door from one of the units. I don't know which company made them, only that they came from Germany, so I don't know where to buy the missing door. So if anyone here can identify it from the photos I am posting and tell me the company, I would be really grateful.

Photos are in my home page here.

(I have asked some reputable kitchen fitters near me but they can't find matching doors and handles. The original fitter refused to tell me: the whole thing went to court and was extremely unpleasant.)

Your profile isn't public so we can't see the pictures.

Thank you: I think it is public now.

It looks like one of the ikea ranges, have you looked there?

I don't think it is from IKEA: there was a safety notice on it in German (no brand name); the supplier said it came from Germany; it has been seen by three different kitchen fitters, all of whom said they didn't know where to find a matching door and handle for what is there. I'm sure they would be familiar with the Ikea ranges.

Have you tried Nobilia? They are one of the largest German manufacturers, and sell a bit over here too. Usually are branded somewhere mind you though.

Their Grado door while not an exact colour match, looks similar design, and handle. It could be a past season one?

Thank you: that certainly looks promising.

You say the fitter has gone bust but is there any way you can track him down to find out/get hold of the missing door?

I think it might be wise to take photo or even a small door with you and go around the trade kitchen places and to see if you can match it. assuming that you don't have any luck asking the fitter ! I guess the fitter wouldn't have gone to a smart showroom ?! unless it was an ex- display kitchen ?! kmdesign might know ?! hope it gets sorted for you !

Thank you again: I shall check out Kmdesign.

The last time I saw the fitter was in court, so you will understand that asking him for information is not likely to be productive. (As it happens I asked him several times before things got to that stage, and he never gave a straight answer.)

There is an obvious moral from my experience: always always pay for this kind of thing by credit card, and note that paying by card through Paypal does not give you any protection.

I would also contact the replacement door companies and see if any of them recognise the door, "dreamdoors" is one I linked to on another thread but there are loads out there.
Good luck.

DIY kitchens have a wide selection. Hard for me to tell from your photos if one matches - but have a look yourself. Looks like you have a mix and match effect so you might want to change a couple of doors if you don't get a perfect match. It also might be that if the fitter is not keen to tell you where they came from the bit about coming from Germany might be a fib?

the white carcase with wood door is something that Intoto used to do - their product is Wellman of Germany - but there are so many German manufacturers out there it could be one if many !! - most coordinate the carcase now - so this may have been a job lot of old stock ?!?

Try Kutchenhaus scroll through to page 5 - looks very similar.
