Hello everyone, I recently fitted an Ikea Kallax shelving unit with matching doors. However, I have noticed that the doors were mounted too deep, meaning they sit much lower in the frame and do not align flush with the top edge of the shelving unit. This not only looks unattractive but also makes operation more difficult because they catch on the bottom edge.
Now my actual question: How can I remove the doors from a Kallax unit if they have been installed too deep? Do I need to dismantle the hinges, or is there a trick to take the doors off without damaging the entire structure? I would really appreciate any tips, experiences, or a step-by-step guide!

Update from me: Yesterday, I removed the doors by lifting them up and carefully pulling them out. It worked surprisingly well. Then I loosened the hinges on the panel, repositioned the door, and fine-tuned it with the adjustment screws.
Result: The doors now fit much better – flush and without sticking. Thanks to everyone for the support!
