Hi all,

I was hoping someone out there with an Ikea kitchen drawer set might be
able to help me out.

I've just installed a 3-drawer 600mm wide cabinet into a space where
there was once a washing machine. To match the existing drawers/doors
in the kitchen I am making the drawer fronts myself (the old ones were
home-made too). I bought some of their cheapest drawer fronts to use as
templates, as a stop-gap solution until I could get a round tuit, and
as a guide to get the correct positions for all the holes for mounting
hardware.

Unfortunately, while the package containing the two larger drawer
fronts was OK, the one that was supposed to contain the front for the
top drawer (130x600mm) actually contained a narrow cupboard door.
Curses! What is it about that place that saps the will to live so much
that I couldn't even remember to double check the packages they handed
out? Ikea is too far away to bother returning/swapping.


So... to save me any messing about with trial and error, could any kind
Ikea-kitchen-owning person possibly tell me how far up from the bottom
edge of the drawer the lower of the two fixing holes should be? (Thats
the holes for the triangular 'thing' that atttaches the front to the
drawer box).

If anyone in the Cambridge area wants two white Arlig drawer fronts and
a narrow cupboard door then I'd be happy to donate them!

Much thanks,

David

I've just meassured mine and they'e 56mm up from the bottom of the draver
front which is 125mm high. The upper hole is 89mm from the bottom.
