ᐅ How to measure the front panel for an Ikea Maximera cabinet?

Good morning everyone,

Unfortunately, my partner insisted, so I didn’t end up buying an Ikea kitchen.
And as it often happens, something is missing in the new one — specifically, a drawer.
So I got a tall Maximera drawer. It fit perfectly into my 60cm (24 inch) base cabinet under the sink.
Now I need to know where to drill the screws for the front panel.
I need to find out the distance of the holes from the side edge, and the distance from the metal latch hole to the upper hole on the top frame.
Could someone please measure this for me?

Thanks and best regards

Hello,
I just measured a 60x40 cm (24x16 inch) front panel, I hope that’s the one you mean.
The distance from the edge to the center of the hole is 32 mm (1.25 inches).
There are 6 holes drilled on each side, and their heights from the base are:
39 mm (1.5 inches)
58 mm (2.3 inches)
117 mm (4.6 inches)
136 mm (5.4 inches)
185 mm (7.3 inches)
204 mm (8 inches)

The measurements sound a bit unusual, but that’s how they are.
Regards

Thanks for the information.
So, the distance between the lowest and highest hole that is required.

The Utrusta drawer fitting stabilizes the tall pull-out when installing a tall front, and a drilling template is included.

So you can calculate from the measurements
204 mm (8 inches) - 39 mm (1.5 inches) = 165 mm (6.5 inches)

OK, thanks!!!
I didn’t know that it was exactly the top and bottom parts where something is installed.
