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!

Sometimes the product number is also listed in the assembly instructions themselves. This can be helpful, provided the instructions are still available. Otherwise, Ikea customer service usually assists you if you don't have this information beforehand.

Update from my side: I have now ordered the replacement parts and received them today. The screws and connecting barrel nuts fit perfectly. Another tip: When checking the parts, be sure to pay close attention to the measurements to avoid accidentally swapping the wrong components. Many thanks to everyone for the helpful tips!
