Are there any changes at Ikea Faktum?

Oh Ikea expert... You old world improver. Right, you can router it out, can't you? Then the old hinges fit as well, right....

That's why you're here, because you always have a solution. Thank you...

Hi,

or just replace one hinge including a new damper and leave the second, old hinge in place. Saves at least 50% compared to buying new. ;)

PS: By the way, there are also universal dampers that have nothing to do with the hinge. Cost, also 5€ for 2 pieces. The above-mentioned variant is, however, more stable and higher quality.

The old ones fit too, just without dampers. With a bit of effort, the old hinges can be modified so that dampers can be clipped on.

Sure, it can be done with a rotary tool or file, but seriously, is the time investment worth it compared to the cost? But it was still a good tip to replace only one hinge per door with the new ones equipped with dampers. As for the damper systems independent of the hinges, well, I think they're crap.

With a needle file, the round shape becomes square in two or three minutes. Of course, this is more for a hobbyist or someone who has to count every cent.

Or doesn’t always want to throw everything away right away... It’s really very simple and I save myself a lot of money... For that, I don’t need to be a Scrooge or a penny pincher

Great! Thanks for the information and tips!
