Hello everyone,

here is a brief overview of my plan/project 😉

I want to build a wardrobe from the Bodbyn front, with the dimensions 125 x 245cm (49 x 96 inches).

The wardrobe will be fitted as a built-in cabinet into a niche, so only the front is needed. The frame is already finished and made from square timber.

Here are the materials I got from Ikea.

2 x BODBYN 60 x 200cm (24 x 79 inches) 202.054.87
2 x Bodbyn 60 x 40cm (24 x 16 inches) 102.055.05
6 x Utrusta – I’m not sure which opening angle I bought, it could be these 402.826.58

Now to my problem: I bought Utrusta hinges, but I have no idea at what distances the holes need to be pre-drilled.

I hope I included all the necessary information; if not, please let me know what’s missing and I will provide it.

If you have any questions about my project, I’m happy to answer.

Kind regards,
talbrecht

Hello, the vertical distances of the hinges correspond to the drill holes in the doors. They are always multiples of 50mm (2 inches).

From the edge, the first hole for the mounting plate is 20mm (0.8 inches) away, the second one is 52mm (2 inches) away.
