Howdens cabinets - which doors will fit?

Hi,

Please does anyone know whether any other kitchen manufacturer's doors and end panels would fit Howdens kitchen cabinets? I'm thinking of B&Q, MFI, Ikea etc.

I have some good Howdens cabinets and would just like to change the doors on them. I think the units are standard size e.g. 300/400/500/600mm.

Alternatively, can I source just doors from HOwdens - and would they allow me as I'm not a builder?

Many thanks in advance.

    You need a trade account to buy direct from Howdens. Do you know anyone in a building type trade that could buy on your behalf?

    I don't know how easy it would be to set up a "trade" account yourself, do they do any sort of credit checks etc?

    Apparantly, from what I can gather from other posts on here, if you tell Howdens you doing up a property to sell, they will let you open an account as a property developer....

    Ikea doors won't fit, the others may do, but would probably have the hinges in the wrong place.

    Either that or one of those companies that just do the doors might work, but no experience of them...
