Hello everyone, I am currently facing a problem with my Ikea Metod kitchen installation, where some essential parts are missing. Specifically, the screws and connectors needed for assembling the base cabinets are not included. These parts do not seem to be listed in either the packaging or the assembly instructions. My question is: What is the best way to handle missing parts like screws or fittings to ensure the installation can be completed correctly and safely? Is ordering replacements through Ikea the only option, or are there proven alternatives or tips you would recommend? Thank you in advance for your support!
It is advisable to proceed systematically:
- Prepare an accurate list of the missing parts with item numbers
- Contact the Ikea customer service and inquire about the spare parts service
- Check the delivery times and clarify whether partial shipments are possible
Obtaining parts from a hardware store should only be considered as a last resort, as differences in material and dimensions can compromise structural stability.

Specifically, I am missing about 20 of the large connector cam nuts as well as about 30 of the small screws used to attach the back panels.That is a significant amount, so I would definitely resolve this through customer service. If you are under time pressure, you can simultaneously check whether you can find comparable screws in the exact size. But be careful with the connector cam nuts, as they are often custom-made.
Product numbers can usually be found on the labels attached to the individual components or on the invoice. If the packaging has already been discarded, sometimes the Ikea label on the fronts or sides can help. Alternatively, you can provide the series name (Metod) and your model designation directly to the Ikea spare parts service; this is usually sufficient.
