Can anyone tell us how to attach the door front to the pull out bin?

It looked like it would be a simple job but the plastic dowels are on the mechanism, not in the pre-drilled door holes. We can't for the life of us get them into the pre-drilled holes. We've tried banging them in and are in danger of breaking the mechanism. Do we have to take the mechanism apart to get behind and screw the dowels into place then somehow re-assemble it?

Hoping someone can advise as we are completely stuck. Thanks!

We are pleased with how it's coming on though DH is now struggling with plumbing so we don't have a sink yet but it will all look fab when it's done.

To fix the door we had to unclip the Ultima logo at the side of the drawer mechanism and that revealed some workings which you had to fiddle with a screwdriver to release a small metal piece with the plastic dowels attached. Then with the door on a flat surface you could bang the metal piece with the dowels into the pre-drilled holes in the door. Then they slid back onto the slider mechanism just like a normal drawer. It sounds obvious now but we just couldn't fathom it.
