IKEA METOD replacement doors
METOD is IKEA’s current kitchen system (2014 onwards). Doors are sold in fixed sizes; if yours is discontinued or you want a different style, a made-to-measure door in the same size drops straight onto the existing cabinet and hinges.
Sizes below are IKEA’s nominal door sizes in mm (width × height). Measure your existing door before ordering — actual doors are usually 1–2mm smaller than nominal.

Hinges
IKEA cabinets use standard 35mm cup hinges. Tell us the hinge positions from your existing door (distance from the top and bottom edge to the centre of each cup) and we drill to match, so the old hinges go straight on.
Questions people ask
How many hinges does a kitchen cabinet door need?
Two hinges up to 900mm high, three from 900 to 1500mm, four from 1500 to 2000mm and five above 2000mm. Add one hinge for doors over 600mm wide or heavy finishes like 2-pac and PET on tall doors. The usual rule is a hinge every 400 to 500mm of door height.
Where are the hinge holes drilled on a cabinet door?
The 35mm hinge cup is usually centred 100mm from the top and bottom edges of the door (anywhere from 70 to 120mm is normal) and bored 21.5mm from the door edge to the cup centre, which gives a 4mm drilling distance for 18mm doors. Extra hinges go evenly between the two end hinges. Measure your old door and we drill to match.
Will new doors fit my existing hinges?
Yes if the new door is drilled at the same positions. Almost all Australian kitchens since the 1990s use 35mm cup concealed hinges (Blum, Hettich, Grass, IKEA and Kaboodle all use the same cup), so the old hinges unclip from the old door and screw straight into the new one.
Can I replace IKEA METOD doors with custom doors?
Yes. METOD doors use standard 35mm cup hinges and standard sizes (for example 400 × 800mm and 600 × 800mm), so a made-to-measure door in the same size drops onto the existing cabinet and hinges. This is the usual route when an IKEA colour is discontinued or you want a profile IKEA does not make.
