Hello everyone, I recently bought a KALLAX shelving unit from IKEA and now need replacement fittings for some of the shelves, as they were damaged during the move. My question to the community is: Where can I purchase KALLAX fittings if I don’t want to order directly from IKEA or if they are out of stock there? Are there alternative suppliers, specialist retailers, or specific online shops that offer these exact fitting parts? I appreciate any tips, especially those that ensure both quality and precise fit.
Basically, IKEA manufactures the fittings specifically for the KALLAX series, and these are usually not available separately in typical hardware stores or furniture shops. However, there are some online suppliers that offer replacement parts for IKEA furniture. It’s best to search using the exact article number or the fitting’s name to check if third-party vendors provide replicas or compatible products. Be sure to pay close attention to the dimensions and material type, as a fitting that is too loose or too tight can not only be inconvenient but also affect the stability of the shelving unit. Have you already tried contacting IKEA directly or checking their online service for discontinued replacement parts?

Just ask IKEA for replacement parts That is basically the first step, which I also recommend.Elijah42 schrieb:
try eBay or Amazon However, especially with eBay, you should be very careful to check the details, as there are many imitations that look similar but do not fit mechanically or wear out faster. It might also help to specify the hardware model and the year the shelving unit was built to find the right parts more easily.Thanks for the tips so far! I’ve already contacted IKEA; the fittings are currently unavailable there, and the reorder options sometimes seem limited to specific time periods. I will now have a look at eBay and Amazon.
What I’m also interested in: Are there generally standard fittings that fit KALLAX, even if they are not original? Or are KALLAX fittings specially made and not easily replaceable by generic, compatible alternatives?
