Hello everyone,
I would appreciate your help with a few issues concerning an IKEA Metod kitchen.
I need a tall cabinet to accommodate a refrigerator with a niche height of 103 cm (41 inches) and a freezer with a niche height of 60 cm (24 inches).
I only found this one:
METOD
Tall cabinet for fridge/freezer, white, Sävedal white
It has doors that are 120 cm (47 inches) and 100 cm (39 inches) high. Unfortunately, both are much too large for the appliances. There would be large gaps inside the cabinet. Do you have a better solution for this?
The refrigerator has fixed door installation. At IKEA, everything is mounted with an overlay door system. Is it possible to convert the fridge to an overlay door? I’m not sure if the oversized door would be too heavy for the fridge hinges if I attach it as a fixed door directly to the fridge.
Another issue is the filler strips and toe kicks for the white Sävedal fronts. I can’t find them on the website. I don’t see any filler strips at all and only toe kicks for other fronts. They should be available, right?
I’m really grateful for any advice.

nachtvogel30 Aug 2016 02:34Hmm.........You’re placing the microwave directly on the floor. So, in my opinion, you only have 2cm (0.8 inches) of space above it.
I can’t think of a better solution than attaching a spacer strip. You could shorten a drawer front with a height of 10cm (4 inches) by 2cm (0.8 inches) and cover the cut edge with an edge band.
Best regards, Sabine

IKEA-Experte30 Aug 2016 20:29You will need to raise the floor enough so that the microwave frame has a 4 mm (0.16 inch) clearance from the door above. Only then can you accurately see how large the gap is and decide what the best solution will be.
Thank you very much, I will try to implement your tips when I get to that stage. I now have the microwave here as well and am curious to see how it will turn out.
At the moment, I am working on the kitchen unit opposite. I have installed one of the rails. According to the level, it is relatively straight, but the three wall cabinets hanging on this rail each have a height difference of about 1 mm (0.04 inches). Is there any way to adjust the cabinets vertically without having to remove the rail?

You will need a helper to hang multiple screwed-together upper cabinets.
This way, they were definitely level and aligned side by side. When hanging them on the rail, you only need to focus on tightening or adjusting the outermost right and left screws first to level the upper cabinets. Tighten the remaining screws at the end.

P.S. You should also be able to readjust the individual cabinets on the rail using the small metal plates...
