Exchange fronts new for old

hello hello
according to Ikea on-site staff, my question has already been answered
but not in enough detail.
Perhaps someone here has gathered the necessary experience
and can say which tricks are necessary, if there are any.

For our kitchen, model Faktum with Härlig doors
some doors have to be replaced due to damage caused by swollen coating.
I am not raising the question here whether this is a warranty case.

What I would like to know, however, is:
Can the Härlig doors be replaced by a system from new series?
e.g.: HÄGGEBY or Veddinge.

According to information, it does not work without adjustments.
What exactly are the problems with that?
Can they be handled with craftsmanship skills and appropriate tools?
Or are the new drillings for e.g. hinges so close to the old drillings
that they overlap?

As far as I can see, the problem cannot be due to the external dimensions.

Thanks for helpful hints.

Hello,

as long as the FAKTUM fronts are still available, I would save myself the handiwork.

1. With Metod doors, the gap width would decrease from 3 mm to 1 mm. This can then more easily lead to a collision with the door of the neighboring cabinet when opening the doors.
2. The hinge drillings can always be placed in a suitable position by a) drilling them on the other side or b) mounting one of the two hinges on the carcass higher or lower.
3. You can also install fronts from third-party suppliers like beptum.

Sure, but we already have a gap in the order list

1. With METOD doors, the gap width would decrease from 3 mm to 1 mm. This may then lead more easily to a collision with the door of the adjacent cabinet when opening the doors.

That would of course be fatal, but what is the cause of this situation?
The new hinges? Thicker doors?

2. The hinge drilling holes can always be placed in a suitable position by a) drilling them on the other side or b) mounting one of the two hinges on the carcass higher or lower.

Sure, I've done something like that in the past as well

Are there delivery difficulties with HÄRLIG as well?

FAKTUM was narrower, e.g. width FAKTUM 598 mm, METOD 600 mm.

....FAKTUM was narrower, e.g. width FAKTUM 598 mm, METOD 600 mm.

That would mean the doors are as wide as the cabinet carcass. Are the new cabinets perhaps wider than the old ones? Or is it still the case that the 600mm is the nominal size. But the actual width is less. That was the case with all doors so far.

Yes, they are 2mm wider. The fronts are still 3mm narrower than the корпус.
