Integrated appliance with no door?

10 replies

Me again! Can't stay away now!
I've just got a new fridge which is integrated. How do I go about getting a door for it? Do I measure the actual width and height of the fridge and go and buy a door of that size??
I've never had or done anything like that before. So sorry for my ignorance

Should be in the instructions. Likely to be a bit wider than the fridge.

I won't be having any instructions with it as it's come direct from a kitchen place and it's been used in a show home

with the make and model number, you can download them from the manufacturers website, or some retailers.

Integrated fridge is meant to go inside a tall unit - have you got the unit for it? They usually come with the doors. But yes ask them exactly what brand and model and you can look up the dimensions online.

Thanks both. I'll do that

if you have units 1965/70 high
70/30 frigde freezer is,,,,,,,
base door 715 x 596 - top door 1245 x 596
if 50/50 fridge freezer - 897 x596 base door and top with 115 filler abiove the top door.
the 50/50 looks shocking unless you have made to measure doors.
but that my thinking on looks

lf it is difficult or expensive to get the right cabinet (not the door), there are companies who will make them to your dimensions and colour. They can usually match the colour of your existing cabinets, or whim, since the laminated boards are made by a few very large companies.

If you get one made, think of any others you would like at the same time, and only pay one delivery charge.

Thank you @PigletJohn I'll have a think about that and look into it. My mom might be able to get some doors so I'll see what she can do first. Thanks for replying

Would just like to add to please please please make sure it's got the right level of ventilation. Integrated appliances are notoriously fitted into spaces which don't allow proper air flow and become a major fire risk.

If you download the manual, it will have all of the fire safety information about space above and below etc.
