ᐅ Space-saving construction of IKEA Metod cabinets with sliding doors

Created on: 18 Apr 2022 08:17

Hello everyone, I am planning to install Metod cabinets from Ikea with sliding doors in a rather small kitchen, aiming to save as much space as possible. I am especially interested in how to best design the cabinet structure so that the sliding doors operate smoothly and require minimal clearance. Does anyone have experience with the optimal installation of the tracks or tips for handling the doors in tight spaces? Also, how is the stability affected when multiple cabinets with sliding doors are placed side by side? I would appreciate any advice, especially regarding materials or additional solutions that have proven effective.

Thanks for the tips! They are very helpful for my planning. Finally, I’m interested in hearing about your experiences with cleaning and maintaining Metod cabinets with sliding doors. Narrow tracks and rollers can be hard to reach. Is it better to wipe them damp or clean them dry?

Rails and rollers should be regularly cleaned dry and dusted. Moisture can cause rust or blockages. If wet, wipe only with a damp cloth and dry quickly.

I maintain the rollers with a small amount of silicone spray to keep them smooth. Then I just wipe them down with a well-wrung cloth.
