Replacement IKEA kitchen doors

tizzle6560

Hi all,

We bought a flat which had an existing IKEA high gloss, black kitchen installed. The boiler (also in the kitchen) once sat tucked away behind a matching black cupboard on the wall.

Subsequently a new, larger boiler had been installed rendering the old door and cupboard carcass useless.

Does anyone have any suggestions on where to source a new door and carcass to hide the new boiler away again??

Many thanks!

Presumably this is before they changed their range? Could you move the carcase? Or move the door?

Thanks for replying, theres currently no door or carcass any more as it was all removed to fit the larger boiler in place.

We now need a full replacement cover up job if that makes sense?!

Thanks

If it is the old style IKEA units that are no longer sold, IKEA do sell them, but under a different part of the site.


Are they available here?

Ah, misread, thought new boiler was smaller.

Our boiler isn't covered up, just there on wall, but in utility room.

The B & Q High Gloss Black doors are almost identical.... almost... They're the ones from the "IT" collection, NOT Cooke & Lewis, and black is home delivery only (white is available instore).

Do check first to see if they are close enough for you. I had to re-fit some in a house I rent out, and the 40cm doors are pretty much indistinguishable. Can't speak for drawer units or other bits.

The cabinets do NOT match..... they are a different depth, do yoou'll have to bodge them to get a good match.

They do turn up on ebay once in a while, and I'm sure Ikea do still sell spares....

just to update this thread - I managed to source replacement parts from ikea directly although was stung on the freight delivery of my items as they came from their warehouse abroad.. at least it all matches though..

i know that this thread hasnt being posted on for a while now but I wanted to share with you the before and after pics of the work.

We were sooo fortunate that the carcass just about fit over the exposed boiler with literally millimetres of space for the hinges.

The shelves, whilst normally attached to the cupboard itself, were flipped round and attached to the far wall instead as we felt this rounded the corner off better without leaving a gap.

Thanks for all your advice at the time anyway!
