Should the holes for the Ikea Utrusta hinge be pre-drilled?

Hello everyone,

here is a little overview of my plan / project ;)

I want to build a wardrobe from the Bodbyn front, with the dimensions 125 x 245.

The wardrobe will be fitted as a built-in closet into a niche, so only the front is needed. The frame is already finished and made from square timber.

Here are the materials obtained from Ikea.

2 x Bodbyn 60 x 200 202.054.87
2 x Bodbyn 60 x 40 102.055.05
6 x Utrusta I’m not sure anymore which opening angle I bought, it could be these ones 402.826.58

Now to my problem: I bought Utrusta hinges, but I have no idea at what distances the holes need to be pre-drilled.

I hope I have included all the necessary information, if not, tell me what is missing and I will provide it afterwards.

If you have any questions about my project, I am happy to answer.

Best regards
Talbrecht

Hello, the vertical distances of the hinges correspond to the drilling holes in the doors. They are always multiples of 50 mm. The first hole for the mounting plate is 20 mm from the edge, the second is 52 mm away.

Super thanks that is exactly what I was looking for
Thanks
