Are Ikea kitchen doors same size as Wickes?

If you like the Wickes door then go for that - it doesn't seem worth the faff for a few extra centimeters at the back of the cupboard. If you can, however, find someone clever you could get something a bit like this - http://www.blipfoto.com/entry/1344452 (Work still in progress there) which is the one mentioned above. The lower oak units are ikea, the cream doors are magnet, finished with ikea trims.doors to rame them. They are fixed to are old wall units. Where the sink is we now have cream magnet doors on front and an oak ikea one on the back.....

It did give us both a headache, but to me worth it.

Sorry, I was wrong about carcasse thickness, they are the same (both 18mm). But a standard Ikea door is 695mm tall and a Wickes one is 735mm and the hinge holes are in different places too, so still does not help your cause I am afraid.

Wickes units are solid backed with a 66mm service gap, whilst Ikea are full depth but not solid backed.

Wickes would come in quite a bit more money than Ikea though.

Is the door you like Imola? If it is, I have not seen one like it anywhere else at that level of the market and would only be available through Wickes/Benchmarx/TP.

Wickes do offer a price match but if it is Imola, they tend to refuse it as there is currently nothing else like it!

No it's not Imola, I like Caledonia, handle-less .
Well not sure they will price match with Ikea .
But the other thing is that I like the Ikea door height - have high ceilings, so the taller the better!

Magnet price matched ikea for my cousin. Or could yo uget some push-close fixings on the white ikea kitchen?
