The doors that IKEA have are all their own standard sizes. You need to measure your doors and check via their website.

You can also get doors made to measure but that is quite expensive. I have been looking on the web. You need to know your sizes before you can start looking.

Good luck.

I am in the midst of having my kitchen doors replaced. All doors except one were standard sizes.
With hindsight I think it would have involved less labour costs if I had the units taken out and replaced. All doors had new hinges handles and some work needed to be carried to put new end panels. Hob needed to be moved a few inches to allow for this. My Joiner has done a fantastic job and it really looks like a brand new kitchen. I had other work done moving electric sockets new worktop sink taps fridge. I had the tiles removed from the floor and wall and this meant the walls being plastered. I am having glass splashback and upstand and this is costly.
In the end it will be £6000+ and still need the bill from the Electrician and he worked for a full day a half day and then a couple of hours. Replaced all switched with brushed stainless steel. I love the kitchen but if I had to do it again I would simply have put a new kitchen in. Now in the process of having it decorated.
Were I you I would have given it more thought.

If you know who made or supplied your kitchen it is normally possible to get replacement doors. Have done this myself with an Ikea Kitchen. Cost me £800.

Different suppliers have different door heights, different carcasse thicknesses and have the hinge holes is different places in their doors. Unless you have an Ikea kitchen Ikea doors will not fit your units. Try and find out who made or sold it.

Using a bespoke door company is normally more expensive than buying a whole new kitchen from the upper end of the shed ranges/lower end independents. A kitchen like that will last 15 years or more. By putting new doors on an old kitchen, yes you are freshening it up, but it will not make the old carcasses last any longer. They are not worth using unless your unit quality is superb.
