Hello,
has anyone here already had experience with the new Metod hanging rail for kitchen cabinets? I have a Faktum kitchen and will be moving soon. I would like to take it with me and am wondering if it could make my life easier. In other words: if I can mount my Faktum wall cabinets on the Metod hanging rail....
who knows and can give me an answer on this?
Thanks in advance
Steph

Hello,
overall, the installation of the brackets on the carcass, if Ikea were to provide them in the required quantity, would be more complicated than hanging the cabinets individually as before.

Hello,

I did the following:

Since the cabinets already rest against the tile backsplash at the bottom, I needed a certain distance at the top anyway. And I have difficult walls (internal insulation), so I needed long screws anyway to make sure everything holds. Also, in some places where I would have had to drill, there were just supply lines...

I got standard rails from the hardware store. Placed the upper cabinets on the floor and drilled holes at the right spots into the rails. Inserted hex screws from the back, nuts on the front - tight.

Then I anchored these rails to the wall, after that I hung the upper cabinets onto the protruding threads of the hex screws. Aligned with the plates as usual - perfect.

Regards, Martin

Thank you for your answers.
Do I understand correctly that the hanging strips are not available for purchase individually?
The thing with the strip (Martin) sounds good,
Have a nice day and best regards
Steph

Mounting rail, galvanized

Only the appropriate hangers that are mounted inside the cabinets are not available for purchase.
