At least you used the correct term for the search.
In my search, only kitchen studios etc. came up that offer pinning as a service, but never the pins themselves...

The problem with bending probably arises because the front attachment on the dishwasher only starts at about 21 cm from the top; with a 20-20-40 division, there is only the handle on the topmost front, but no attachment to the dishwasher.
And a flat steel alone probably cannot withstand the bending forces when pulling on the handle.

But maybe pinning with flat steel will work.
Because the pins have a spacer ring, and that should act as support and thus prevent the flat steel from bending and the upper front from tipping forward...


That would have been my plan exactly.

But:

Thanks, I was missing this info!
Unfortunately, the dishwasher manual does not specify a maximum front thickness, only width and height are given.

But the mat is supposed not to work properly at Ikea anyway and always slide in front of the plinth.
So I will probably leave it out.

I also have 40-20-20... I will then frame each with a complete front. So dishwasher on the right and corner cabinet on the left.

Hello everyone,
I signed up especially because of this topic. First of all, a big thank you to everyone who shares their experiences with the issue here.
I also want to install a non-IKEA dishwasher, but I am leaning towards a Bosch in standard size.

If I interpret the drawing correctly, the distance between the front panel to be installed and the floor must be at least 90mm.
Assuming I would also set the feet of my Metod to 90mm instead of 80mm and accept the gap that arises between the top of the dishwasher and the countertop.
This way, a 60x80 front on the dishwasher should line up flush at the bottom and top with the fronts next to it and be able to open fully without hitting the base.
Have I made a thinking error or am I overlooking something here?
I am very grateful for your help; the statements from the salespeople in the store were unfortunately not very helpful.

Regards, Nico

Hello, that should work. There are no practical experience reports on this yet. Since the space in the upper rack of a dishwasher quickly becomes too tight in height, I would always choose an XXL device if it fits in the kitchen.

Thank you very much for the quick response

I will try it that way and report back when I have the opportunity, but it may still take a few weeks until the kitchen is set up

Hello,

we have Siemens dishwashers with Vario hinge, I had the front panels milled by the carpenter, and then connected with Väglig rails. See my picture gallery -
