ᐅ Unloading aid for new Ikea Faktum sink cabinet

Hello, for my 80cm (31.5 inches) sink cabinet, I have two 40cm (15.7 inches) doors. I also have a half-extension drawer from Rationell that is supposed to fit (201 101 68) (with a separate panel). Unfortunately, it hits the doors because there is about 1.5cm (0.6 inches) of space missing. How is this supposed to be compatible?

Hello,

tell me, did they sell it to you like this from the hardware store?

I guess you want to install the waste separation system inside the cabinet? If so, that’s already the wrong drawer. For this, you need a pull-out unit with a depth of 45cm (18 inches). What do you mean by the drawer hitting the doors? Does the door not close, or does the drawer not clear the doors? If it’s the first case, it’s probably an alignment issue. Just take a photo and share it. If it’s the second case, you simply have the wrong hinges. Standard hinges (125mm (5 inches)) are not compatible with pull-outs because the doors don’t fully swing away when opened. This prevents the drawer from passing the doors. You need to get 153mm (6 inches) hinges, and then it will work with the drawer.

Let me know if it worked.

Best regards

Na.

Hello, thanks for the reply. It definitely only works with 153-degree hinges, which were unfortunately sold incorrectly as a combination, as I found out yesterday – I just can’t open the doors that far because of the radiator. Now I have the new sink cabinet, where unfortunately, without the pull-out, everything stored underneath can fall out the back due to the missing rear panel at the bottom. Good luck, N.
