Dear Ikea community,

I recently got an older but very well-preserved LAGAN kitchen within two weeks. Now I am wondering whether the Faktum fronts, especially Abstract gray, which I really like, are compatible with my Lagan carcasses and if I could also change the fronts? Does anyone have experience with this?

Hey Tiny!

I would have to measure again, but I believe this won’t work. At least only for some of the doors. IKEA obviously doesn’t want to give up their advantage here. Lagan was a complete kitchen unit for just 149€ – so it’s understandable that they didn’t want to allow also enjoying the benefits of the Faktum/Rationell series (which simply cost a bit more).

As far as I remember, the sink cabinet might be the problem, since it has different dimensions. The overall height was different as well.

If you want, I can check again. The piece is still on display with us.

Hi Elvis,

that would be great if you could check whether that is possible.

Best regards, Tiny

I measured again and have to confirm once more: the measurements do not fit. The sink cabinet is 90cm, the same applies to a part of the wall cabinets. So you would need 45cm doors - and those practically do not exist for Faktum. The bottom door of the refrigerator cabinet also has a special size.

So you would have to spend a bit more money and get Faktum carcasses - you could continue to use the appliances... But I guess that is not an option for you, right?

Regards
