Hello Our Metod kitchen will have a 60cm wide tall cabinet, 200cm high, above that a 40cm top section which we want to use as a pantry cabinet. We want the tall cabinet to have an 80cm door at the bottom, above that a 120cm door and at the top a 40cm door for the top section, so that the fronts match the adjacent tall cabinet with the refrigerator. My question now relates to the drawers we want to install inside: At what heights can I install the drawers inside the cabinet? In general, my wife wants a tall drawer at the very bottom (Maximera drawer tall) to store beverage bottles there. Up to about eye level, there should then be medium height drawers and above that Utrusta wire baskets, so she can see inside from below. I have now measured various beverage bottles, if I allow a height of 36cm, all kinds of bottles should fit in. In the medium height drawers, my wife mainly wants to store her pour boxes, these are 20cm high. According to the assembly instructions, the 2m carcass has 40 drill holes for the drawers, but it is unclear to me whether I can also install a drawer where there is also a door hinge in close proximity, or what distance between drawer and door hinge I must maintain? I need this information so I can calculate how many medium height drawers and wire basket drawers I need to buy for the cabinet. Kind regards Section Chief

Hello, I can only provide the following measurements: Hole spacing 5 cm Distance lower bottom - first hole = min. distance hole underside of the cabinet rail = 5 cm - 1.8 cm = 3.2 cm Width 153° hinge: 26 mm

Thank you Ikea expert,
How is it with the width of 26mm on the hinge: I assume that means the drawer itself cannot be at the same height as the hinge, right?
Thus, the drawers can be mounted arbitrarily in the 5cm grid, as long as they do not hit the height of the hinge, correct.
The question remains, at what height are the hinges located on the various doors/fronts?

Take a look at assembly instructions for various cooling devices. You should be able to find some information about the positions there.

Or you simply take one drawer less and buy another one if needed.
