Ikea Faktum kitchen base cabinets / connection of lower front panels

Hello everyone,

I have a question for you. It’s about the Faktum kitchen base cabinets in 80 cm width that are intended for sinks/drawers (FA162 or FA141).
On these base cabinets, three front panels are mounted - from top to bottom: 1x 13 cm height, fixed; 1x 26 cm, 1x 31 cm (total 57 cm) mounted on the drawer.
As shown in the catalog, the two lower fronts form a combined front panel mounted on the lower drawer (e.g. for waste separation systems or beverage crates) and inside the cabinet there is another inner drawer that can only be opened once the lower drawer with fronts has been opened.

But how are the two lower fronts connected with each other so that they can be opened as one large front panel?
Do you have to make it yourself and get fittings from the hardware store? Is there a sturdy connecting set that is not listed anywhere in the catalog? Could you perhaps take a photo of how you solved this?

Many thanks for your information and regards,
Uwe

Hello Uwe. You can get them at Ikea. It is a corrugated board with a rib in the middle. When you go to IKEA, contact customer service and ask for the connecting plates for fronts with a pharmacy pull-out. They will know what you mean, I think at least. Regards Maverick1854

Hello Maverick,

thanks for the info. But the part is not included in the catalog or the purchase guides, is it?
I will ask about it during my next visit.

No, only in the assembly instructions for the pharmacist's cabinet. That is with the inner panels.
