I am planning to replace the hinges on my Billy shelf unit because one of them is broken. Before I start, I would like to know: what common mistakes occur when replacing BILLY hinges, and how can they be avoided? I’m especially interested in typical errors that DIY beginners or people with little experience often make—such as when removing the old hinges, fitting the new ones, or adjusting them. Are there any tools or tips that can help make the replacement process go smoothly? Thanks for sharing your experiences!
That’s brilliant, how many details you’re putting together here! I made a mix-up at first and the door ended up crooked. But with a bit of patience, it worked out perfectly 🙂
A small tip from me: always have a magnetic pickup tool and spare screws ready, as they can sometimes go missing or get worn out quickly at IKEA. This makes replacements much easier to handle!
