Hello,

I ordered fronts for my kitchen from the Faktum replacement range. I actually didn’t think it would be this complicated. The hinges belonging to Faktum are sold out (mostly). So I ordered standard hinges that basically fit the drill holes. However, none of the screws I have tried so far fit – they are either too long or too short, so they don’t grip at all (when attaching them to the front). Which hinges or screws fit? I hope you can help me. Thanks & best regards

Hello,

currently I have these from Amazon


They fit well in terms of the hole drilling etc., only there are difficulties with the screws for attaching to the front; the screws supplied with the hinges are too short

The hinge is from GTV. The screws are not too short, but too thin. You must use 6.3 mm euro screws and enlarge the holes on the hinge for that. The 5 mm holes are Ikea-specific. Alternatively, you can insert a Hettich 0 048 576 expansion sleeve into the hole and use the supplied screws. A bigger problem is the wrong mounting plates. They sit too far back because they are designed for a hole-to-edge distance of 37 mm, but FAKTUM has 28 mm, just like Pax.

Ah ok, so I did get quite a few things wrong after all. Thanks for your help. Regarding the bigger problem: I only have Faktum carcasses in part, I suppose you mean by [Montageplatten] the plates that are attached to the carcass? Sorry if I come across a bit silly, the world of hinges is still quite new to me.

Yes, these are the ones I mean. If you have to drill the holes anyway, the edge distance doesn't matter, of course.
