I am currently trying to attach Nickelby doors to my Ikea Billy
bookcase. Putting the bookcase itself together was easy, but the
doors are causing a real problem.

Getting the hinges into place is no problem; it's when I come to
attach the hinges on the doors to the metal attachments on the case -
the instructions suggest that it clicks fairly easily into place.
I've tried many times but without success.

Has anyone attempted to attach doors to a Billy bookcase and have you
have any problems doing so? If you've successfully attached the
doors, I'd love to hear from you!

Someone suggested (on IKEAFANS.com) to use a hammer.
Place the respective side of Billy on the floor (carpet) first.

Hope this helps.
