Good morning everyone.
Almost two and a half years ago, I bought a new kitchen and chose the Korrekt folding handles at that time. Now, as I want to expand the kitchen due to a move, this choice is turning out to be a mistake.
By the time I reached the third or fourth piece of furniture or accessory, Ikea suddenly discontinued production without any notice. As if that wasn’t enough, it seems there are no handles that fit the drilling distance of 125mm (5 inches), so I can’t even properly replace my "old" handles without either drilling additional holes in the fronts or, sorry, buying new fronts altogether, which are quite expensive.
So, here is my request: I urgently need Korrekt handles! I need about six pieces. Please offer them! I am willing to pay well!
I also have a question about the handles: is it "normal" that the screws supplied for the ABSTRAKT fronts are rather unsuitable? The long screws are too long, the short ones too short, and sometimes the handles feel loose. I have already improvised by using washers with the long screws (which doesn’t look great at all *ugh*), but that can’t be the proper solution, can it?

I am also affected by this issue – I bought a new kitchen shortly before the handle series was discontinued and have now realized during renovation and extension that these handles are no longer available. I wanted to kindly ask here if anyone might still have such handles and would be willing to sell me some? Specifically, I urgently need the small, almost square ones – there were also elongated ones, which I have kindly been offered before, and sometimes these elongated ones can still be found online. But I have the small ones everywhere, and using the elongated ones would actually disrupt the overall look… so I haven’t given up hope yet. If anyone has 4, or preferably 6 or 8 of these handles in their basement or attic, I would really appreciate it.
Thank you very much.
