ᐅ Concealed Utility Cabinet / Pass-Through Closet

Hello everyone,

We are currently planning our kitchen and want to have a "pass-through cabinet" leading to the hidden pantry behind it.

The pantry will need space for a fridge and freezer. The question is, how wide does the pass-through cabinet need to be? Is 60cm (24 inches) enough?

The kitchen planners are recommending 2 x 50cm (2 x 20 inches). I think that's excessive. Are there any practical experiences with this?

Hello,

Apparently, there are only kitchen fronts with a width of 60cm (24 inches).

Which manufacturer is that? Even IKEA offers 80cm (32 inches) cabinets...

Regarding the question, if possible, I would plan for a standard 80cm (32 inches) door. Anything else is just complicated.

Best regards,

Andreas

Well, 80cm (31.5 inches) wide "kitchen cabinet doors" as a hidden access to the pantry... you really need to think carefully about how the door opens into the room. In most cases, I find hidden doors unnecessary. Only a few floor plans really require the pantry access to be exactly at the kitchen location.

Unfortunately, we have to do it, and there is no other alternative. Currently Nolte.

Ikea does have 80cm (31.5 inches) cabinets – yes. But not as a “pass-through cabinet.” They don’t have a bottom panel inside at the base.
