crianI have an old Faktum kitchen and want to buy a new Metod kitchen.
Since I still have the integral hinges and the Rationell drawers from the Faktum kitchen, I would like to reuse them in the new Metod kitchen. This way, I don’t have to buy everything new and can save a lot of money.
Are the Faktum hinges and drawers compatible with Metod as well?

IKEA-Experte29 Aug 2015 13:42Hello,
they are not really compatible. INTEGRAL hinges have a different mounting plate, which could be replaced. However, they also have two guide pins for 5 mm holes, whereas METOD uses 8 mm holes.
The carcasses of FAKTUM are 2 mm (0.08 inches) narrower. If the drawers were purchased after 2007, this causes problems. In that case, a 1 mm (0.04 inches) spacer would need to be added on both sides. In addition, the holes in the carcass are in different positions, so new holes would need to be drilled. The same applies to the fronts. The holes are in different places, and the front bracket holes now have a spacing of 19 mm (0.75 inches) instead of 32 mm (1.26 inches).
Conclusion: With extensive modification work it is possible, but not “out of the box.”
