Hi all, I just installed a kaboodle kitchen in our house but with the location of the pantry I can only put a slimline pantry that is no wider than 400 mm and max 600mm wide. I was wondering if anyone has tried putting an IKEA cabinet with a kaboodle door and is it an easy fit? The only reason is that there is an IKEA pantry that is 600mm x 370mm deep it’s only $120. Then I was thinking of putting the 600mm antique white heritage shape Kaboodle pantry door to match the kitchen. Thoughts?
Hello @Dkozzie
I agree with @MitchellMc 's suggstion that you split the difference and put 1.5mm on each side of the door. The Kaboodle doors were built in such a manner to allow clearance for the door panels to be adjusted and miss each other when they are opened when they are next to each other. There are host of other reasons but the one I mentioned is the one applying to your situation. Now concerning the height difference, you will see in the illustrations I've made that most pantry cabinets are usually at the same height as the wall cabinets. Mind you this is not always the case and some pantries don't line up. I suggest putting the excess height of the door to the bottom end of the pantry. That way you won't have to build anything extra and makes the cabinet look more streamlined rather than having it the other way around. If you manage to line up the pantry with the other cabinets then having the pantry door at the same height as the other cabinets makes it look uniform and not out of place. Please have a look at the drawings and post any questions you might have.
Cheers!
