Hello, regardless of why and what I want to do with it, I would like to know the dimensions and distances of the holes for the hinges, drawer slides, and shelves in the kitchen cabinets. Specifically: hole diameter, distance from the first hole to the bottom, to the top, and to the front edge.
Is there possibly a drilling template for this?
Thanks in advance for any answers.
Best regards from Hamburg

Hello Masochist,

Hole diameter: 5 mm (0.2 inches)
Distance from the first hole to the bottom: 46 mm (1.8 inches) including 18 mm (0.7 inches) base
To the front edge: 28 mm (1.1 inches)
To the ceiling: symmetrical

Is there possibly a drilling template for this?


Not from IKEA:

Hello everyone,

Could someone please provide the measurements for the second row of holes as well? Background: I want to install the Utrusta lifting mechanisms for the doors in a Besta cabinet. However, Besta only has one row of holes, and these also seem to have different measurements than required.

Thanks!

Hello thakikka,

in the thread https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/lochabstand-und-Masse-in-den-faktum-Schränken.20618/, the IKEA expert wrote that the distances of the front two rows of holes are 20 mm (0.8 inches) and 52 mm (2 inches) from the cabinet edge (horizontal), with 50 mm (2 inches) between the holes (vertical).

Regards,
Arved

Hello, using it with BESTA could be very problematic because only a strip of particle board is used at the rows of holes. Between them, there is air and cardboard.
There used to be the Inreda folding fitting for BESTA.
