It’s all about the context within the design.

You don't have to buy IKEA hinges. Check Blum please.

Joseph Corlett, thanks for the advice!! Will look into them!

Live_wire_oak, that's why it's so frustrating that the software doesn't have hinges on it. So strange! According to it, we only need 4, 2-packs of hinges when we really need 16.

I need help please. I bought a new ikea kitchen without research (i know i know 😅) but i stupidly assumed all hinges were the same and i could reuse the ones from my old doors to save money. They DO fit, however the screw holes are bigger. I really can't afford to spend £165 on new hinges! The holes look like 10mm. Can i just buy bigger screws or are there alternative hinges to the Utrusta 110 (currently retailing at £11×2) that will save me a small fortune?

If you can’t afford hinges, you can’t afford the cabinets and doors. You certainly cannot afford to ruin what you’ve bought either.

I’m all for saving money but this doesn’t seem like the time or place. Buy the ikea hinge.

HU-220846171 i have already bought the cabinets and doors & i have no intention of "ruining: anything hence my request for advice on here....so your comment is neither necessary nor helpful....

No, don’t use bigger screws. You need to add anchors, typically called hinge dowels (usually plastic). I believe IKEA uses 8mm or 8.5mm so just buy dowels and go from there.

Good luck

ETA: This a fairly common thing. Most cabinetmakers use hinge dowels plus screws when going into MDF as it turns a threaded fitting into a pressure fitting and is much stronger in MDF.

Thank you Bry911 i noticed the dowels on my old cabinet i wondered what they were for. I appreciate your advice 😊

Make sure to measure the holes. The 8mm is the size of the U.S. Blum pressure fit. It is possible that Blum uses a different size there.
