Hello,
I am currently assembling my IKEA kitchen and don’t know how to attach the drawer front to my pull-out pantry cabinet (40cm x 211cm) (16 inches x 83 inches).
There is no helpful manual included in the packaging, no drilling template, etc.
I found a drilling guide online. Is there a place where I can find more detailed instructions on where exactly to position the template and where the drawers should be located?
Thank you very much, regards Sabs

Where the template needs to be positioned is indicated in the instructions.

Thank you for the very quick response!
I have now assembled the entire kitchen including the appliances. Only the kickboard and the tall cabinet drawer inserts are still missing.

The PDF you linked is no longer up to date, or in Austria we have a slightly different system:
The rail goes into the 1st and 33rd holes (instead of the 2nd and 33rd), or the template is positioned at 101.2cm (40 inches) instead of 101cm (39.8 inches).

Furthermore, I would like to attach all four drawers to the front.
Does anyone have a tip on at what height I should position the template for the other two drawers?

Thank you very much!

In Austria, the drawer slides are produced by Manuex, while in Germany they come from Hettich. Since the drawers in the center can be installed at different heights as needed, there is no specific measurement to use for positioning the template. As long as the cabinet rails of two adjacent slides are mounted with the same holes, the distance between the drill holes must be a multiple of 32 mm (1.26 inches).

Thanks. I will take a closer look at it.

Just to make sure I’m not making a mistake, I want to check if the following considerations are correct:
The Austrian drawer slides have two holes for mounting to the cabinet. According to the instructions, the bottom slide should be attached using the lower hole, and the rest with the upper hole.
However, to make marking on the front easier, I plan to attach the bottom three drawers using the lower hole, so I only have to add multiples of 32mm (1.26 inches) each time. Is that correct?

Of course, you can also use the upper holes and measure from top to bottom.

I assume that the cabinet was attached to the wall as intended.
