Hello dear people! I am new here and have a huge question right away: We bought a large kitchen at Ikea and now I wanted to start assembling the individual cabinets. Right with the first base cabinet (30cm) the holes for the legs are missing! Is that always the case? Or was it just forgotten? I haven’t unpacked the other cabinets yet.. I want to start on it tonight. But maybe you know about this? It would be super nice if you could help me! Best regards

I had holes there, but the corpus is also several years old. The distances must also be fairly accurate, so it would be bad if they were missing. There should be 12 holes for the eccentrics.

What is the depth of the corpus. Possibly they are upper cabinets that are supposed to serve as base cabinets. They have no holes, and those have to be drilled themselves.

Thank you for your help! Of course, these are wall cabinets that serve as base units... I could have thought of that myself oops: Well, then I have to see how I can get the drill holes in there... I actually have a total of 5 such cabinets Is there some kind of template for that?

As far as I know, no, you would have to make them yourself. The FIXA drilling template might help, you should try it. However, I would saw off the dowels and simply screw the "plastic pot" firmly. The fastening does not have to withstand lateral forces, so there should be no problem in that regard.

Attention The distance to the front edge should be correct, otherwise the base clips cannot be used later or if the legs interfere too far outside, otherwise I would do it like an IKEA expert or I made a template myself for my kitchen! Regards bergpriv
