Hello everyone,

I have a Faktum kitchen, and once again, a lift-up hinge on one of the Faktum wall cabinets has broken. The Ikea service kindly sent me these hinges:


Two views of a white electrical module; front and back visible.


Unfortunately, the Faktum cabinet does not have the corresponding holes for these hinges.

However, it has the smaller Utrusta hinge. Does anyone know the hole spacing for the larger hinge?

Thanks and best regards,
Jonas

Simply 5cm (2 inches) lower than with the small flap hinge.

Ah, okay, so 52 mm (2 inches) from the front and 100 mm (4 inches) from the very top edge? Is the rear hole also 100 mm (4 inches) from the top?

The holes for the screws are located somewhere. There are only two positions for the two studs.

Page 6, first and second image. There you can also clearly see the 50mm (2 inches) spacing.

Strange, my hinges only have the upper pin, and the other one is positioned horizontally further back (apparently at the same height). It seems they sent me a prototype. I think I will go for the smaller version after all because these are too large for the cabinet. Also, they seem to be a different type than the ones currently available. In any case, many thanks for the support!

These are from the FAKTUM cabinet.
