ᐅ Which installation steps help with the adjustment of Ikea Metod cabinet doors?

Hello everyone, I am currently facing the challenge of properly adjusting the doors of my Ikea Metod kitchen module. My question is: which installation steps are particularly helpful and effective for aligning the doors optimally and setting them correctly? I am especially interested in what to pay attention to, the order in which screws should be turned, and if there are any special tips for making precise adjustments to the height, side, and depth. I would greatly appreciate your experiences and advice!

First hang the door and slightly loosen the screws of the hinges, then adjust the height and side alignment. Finally, adjust the depth setting so that the door fits flush with the cabinet.

For me, the most important step is to roughly align the hinges first and then gradually fine-tune them. It is crucial to always loosen one screw slightly while adjusting, otherwise the entire frame will become distorted.

What always helps me is to first slightly loosen all the screws on the hinges, then adjust the door to the correct position, and finally tighten the screws again.

Thanks for this tip, I will give it a try. I’m also curious if you have any experience with adjusting the recesses for the handles – does the door alignment affect the position of the handles, or are these adjustments independent of each other?

The handle position is primarily determined by the drill holes and should fit regardless of door adjustment. However, if the door is very misaligned, the appearance will naturally be different. So: install the handles first, then adjust the door.
