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

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

Agreed
I assume the cabinet was mounted to the wall as planned.

Yes. Using 8x 80mm (3 inch) screws with 10x 60mm (2.5 inch) anchors. A bit oversized, but my father was worried the wall cabinets might fall down with smaller anchors. ^^ Now my only problem is that the screw heads are so thick that the white IKEA cover caps no longer fit on the brackets.
Do you have any idea how I can cover the screw heads on the brackets? Right now, the only thing I can think of is white gaffer tape or drilling a hole in the plastic cover cap to make room for the screw, then painting it white.

Get the cap 115755 from customer service. It should fit if you don’t have the snap-on caps.

I have the caps 115754. However, they don’t fit because the screw head is too thick. What is the difference between 115754 and 115755?

115754 is 8.5 mm (0.33 inches) thick, 115755 is 18 mm (0.71 inches).

Thank you,
I am still missing a cover plate to conceal the hinge hole (color Sofielund).
However, the 125x40cm (49x16 inches) description does not include any number for this part. Unfortunately, Ikea customer service was not able to assist me.
The part I need is shown on page 4 of the following PDF:

At a furniture store near me, I immediately got some when I asked for the Mickey Mouse cover caps.
