Hello,

I am currently assembling my kitchen and still need wall cabinets. I have chosen these:
Metod wall cabinet horizontal, white, Kallarp light green
Item number: 991.443.68


When I ordered a tall cabinet, the IKEA advisor included a rail. However, the hanging brackets of the cabinet do not fit in any position on this rail. For now, I fixed the cabinet with wall plugs but was surprised that it didn’t work as expected.

Does anyone know exactly which rail is compatible with these cabinets?

Thank you!

It’s best to take a photo of the rail. The one from METOD is very long and needs to be cut to size. The cabinets are easiest to hang from the side.

Yes, it is probably the one from METOD, since it’s very long.

But as described above, unfortunately it does not fit on the cabinet hangers. I have tried from all sides, rotated them, but they won’t hook in. I will go to Ikea today and ask there; maybe I am doing something wrong.

Thank you very much!

Thanks again for the responses.

Yesterday, I got 4 more cabinets, including 2 wall cabinets, and now the rail system works. I must have had the wrong hooks before, but now it’s fine. I fixed the tall cabinet with two 8mm (5/16 inch) dowels because the fridge and oven will go in there together.

Many thanks!
