Hello everyone, I am currently planning to equip my new kitchen with Ikea Metod cabinets and am facing the challenge of attaching the doors so that they fit perfectly. My specific question is: How do I attach Ikea Metod doors so that they sit flush and evenly on the cabinet carcass, without annoying gaps or irregularities appearing over time? I am particularly interested in how to work with the factory-installed hinges and adjustment screws, whether there are any specific tips or steps to follow, and if readjustments might be necessary. It would also be helpful to know if it’s possible to influence the door’s closing pressure to avoid the doors closing or opening abruptly. Thanks in advance for your recommendations!

What do you think about adjustment screws? Are there limits where the mechanism reaches its limits due to too much adjustment?Yes, there are. Ikea Metod hinges typically allow about 5 mm (0.2 inches) of adjustment per screw direction. If you find yourself making extreme adjustments, this usually indicates uneven cabinets or incorrect installation. In such cases, the cabinets should be checked and corrected if necessary before further adjusting the doors.
Another recommendation is to avoid hanging the doors under excessive strain to prevent damaging the mechanism. This helps ensure long-lasting functionality and consistent fit.
