Hello everyone, I hope you can help me. I want to replace the drawer hinges on my IKEA Malm dressers because some of them are a bit loose and no longer operate smoothly.
Specifically, I am looking for instructions on how to remove these hinges and which replacement parts fit best.
Are there any special tools I absolutely need, and what is the best way to proceed without damaging the drawer?
If anyone has experience with purchasing original parts or alternatives, I would also appreciate tips regarding quality and compatibility.
Thanks in advance for your support!

Can you give tips on repurchasing original parts or alternatives?I also had the problem of loose drawer hinges with Malm dressers. My experience: the IKEA original hinges fit best because they are precisely manufactured and easy to replace.
Alternative hinges from Amazon or eBay can be cheaper, but they are often less durable and don’t fit exactly. This caused increased wear for me.
I also recommend checking the drawer slide after replacement and, if necessary, applying some WD-40 or a specific lubricant. This helps ensure longer durability and smooth operation.
