Hello everyone! I’m really happy to have found this forum!

I have a problem: I have a Metod kitchen from 2017 with the old dark gray Ringhult fronts, which are no longer available. Now I want to cut a 40cm (15.7 inches) wide base cabinet door in half and turn it into two drawer fronts because I need a drawer cabinet. How do I attach the door pieces to the drawers? Is there a drilling template for the fronts?

Thank you all in advance!

Best regards, Tusnelda

You want to make two drawer fronts measuring 20x60 from one 40x60 door?

No, from one 40x80 door (base cabinet) I want to make two fronts of 40x40 each.
Behind them, I planned to install shallow Maximera inner drawers.

But my brother also advised against it. He suggested I keep the door as is and add the inner drawers behind it, which is also possible. A pity, but I’ll do it that way.

Thanks so much for your ideas! 🙂

So, the cut edge on the left or right? It looks pretty poor...

Have a look at classified ads under the postal code 22299 near Ringhult, there someone is offering exactly two of the fronts you are looking for, shipping is possible.

No, the cut edges naturally face down. 🙂

Check the classifieds under the postal code 22299 for Ringhult; someone is offering exactly two of the fronts you’re looking for, and shipping is possible.

Thanks! But unfortunately, the fronts offered are not in the old dark gray but in the current light gray.

I’ll keep the door and only install inner C-shaped shocks.

Best regards, Tussie

Where do you live? I might still have some of those fronts lying around.
And why don’t you reply to my post then?
