Fitting drawers in a IKEA kitchen cupboard

4 replies

We are having a very frustrating time, have been to IKEA,bought some drawers and are trying to fit them into our new kitchen cupboard.

They are in fine, but won't open because the doors are in the way. The doors nearly adjust to the sides so they will slide out but not quite and look really gappy. How do we fix this? Or do we just need wire baskets instead???

Are they the internal drawers? I'm sorry I haven't done them but usually there are different sections in the instructions for different set ups- "turn to section 15" etc. There could be a bit you missed when installing the door...?

For internal drawers you need different hinges. I think they are 145 degrees.
The standard hinge doesn't open wide enough to allow the drawer to pass.

Thanks!!!
I've just figured it out by re-loading a cabinet on the planner

Now to decide whether to replace the hinges or put wire baskets in. Any suggestions?
