How to assemble an Ikea corner cabinet door?

11 years ago

They sent me two doors. One has round holes on one side of the back to receive hinges and also a set on the opposite side of the back that appear to be round holes with a part of them sliced off. They also appear to be there to receive the hinges except there are also two small holes next to the large cut-off holes that aren't large enough to fit the "bumps" of the hinges that keeps the hinge in the correct position. The side with the round holes has two holes also and they accept the bumps on the hinge. The other door only has two screw holes one below the other on the top of the back side and another set on the bottom of the back side. I hope someone out there is familiar with Ikea doors and can understand what I mean. Thank you so much for any help. I have searched the internet until my fingers are nubs. No luck with youtube either. Pics attached.

    Those corner doors take a special hinge that is different than the "regular" door hinges. I think it is a bit larger and heavier, and has a different part number than other hingers. They might have been packed with the doors, or with the corner cabinet.

    I assembled the corner cabinet myself a few weeks ago, and there was a special hinge that connects the two doors included in the hardware bag for the cabinet. You will also need a standard door hinge to attach the left side door to the cabinet frame.

    LOL! I went through the same dilema - even went to IKEA for more parts. But yes, look for a different hinge. They are in the BIG BOX O' HINGES and THINGS.

    Don't let your wife assemble the doors whatever you do. You can still see the crack above the top hinge, but I got 'em fixed.

    Joe, I used to like you until you said that.

    I think he meant don't let "my" wife assemble the doors. :/ Because otherwise, very sexist. Agree.

    +1 for a picture because it probably got the job done.

    Hi- I have the same problem- does anyone know exactly what kind of hinges are needed?

    Has anyone found part numbers for the 2 different kinds of hinges?

    Same problem here. They included one set of 153 degrees hinges which connect the door to the cabinet but not the other set connecting the doors together. Comparing the picture above and what's available on IKEA website, I believe the missing hinge is a KOMPLEMENT soft closing hinge, P/N 002.145.05.

    Correction: Went to talk to IKEA and found out that the "missing" hinges were packed with the cabinet. Came home and found them. For those who can't find them, the proper part numbers are given in the cabinet installation manual:

    For anyone still looking for the corner hinges:

    I recently purchased the corner doors from Ikea, but not the corner cabinet. I have been in the same dilemma since I could not buy the hinges individually, they come packed with the corner cabinet.

    I went by the customer service Dept and asked to buy those hinges (110682) ...but to my surprise Ikea offers them for free! They didn't have any in stock so they had it shipped to my place...again for free.

    My love hate relationship with this company is getting out of hand.

    This was really helpful. Thank you. Also entertaining. I’m an architect and my husband is a GC and an electrician. Our countertop sub asked how he was liking the ikea cabinets. He said, “they’re great. My wife is putting them all together.” I’m in agreement with Joseph. Don’t let your electrician put them together. He put the wrong size in the pantry.

    I found the hinges in the corner base frame box. But the 2nd door won't close completely. How can we adjust it? Do I need to buy the magnet?

    The spare part code is: 110.682 - hinge arm 60 degrees

    This is REALLY helpful. Now i can’t get the 60 degree hinges to click on to the door. Any suggestions?
