IKEA Cabinets

IKEA Cabinets

We put in Ikea kitchen cabinets a little over 10 years ago. The cabinets themselves are in perfect shape but the doors are discolored and have a lot of wear and tear. IKEA no longer makes the same cabinets so I can’t easily replace the doors with what is at the store. Does anyone know of another fix? Is it possible to get replacement doors somewhere else?

They are white and have water damage.

I just looked on the ikea website and I see they have other white doors you can replace them with.

I'm pretty sure that the cabinets and doors are a standard size so the new door style would fit on your 10 year old cabinets. You would just need to replace all of them.

If you don't want to do that, you could try painting as suggested above. You would have to sand them though.

Ikea changed over their kitchen line about 5 years ago. The doors won‘t fit correctly.

OP I would look on eBay to replace your doors. You can sand and paint, but I‘m not sure how that would turn out.

Look up "semi-handmade" it's a company that people order from for Ikea cabinet doors. They are nicer, wooden door fronts that are completely compatible with Ikea frames. If you reach out to them and tell them you have the older Ikea system, they can probably send you new door fronts

Three years ago in my former apartment the faces of all my Ikea cabinets were replaced ...the cabinets had been installed 10 years before. The same color wasn't available, so i got a nicer one. OP are you absolutely sure that IKEA cannot replace them? They do have a 30 year guarantee.

You can just buy cabinet doors. We had to have a custom made one built before we sold out last house and used Cabinet Doors Depot

We did an IKEA kitchen 15 years ago and considered doing it again in our new house. Scherrs was a company recommended on the IKEA forums as accommodating IKEA hinges and sizes. I'm sure other companies can too.

So you had the Faktum line when you got it 10 years ago, and you were able to switch over to the Metod line without a problem? Or did they have extra Faktum stored somewhere? I know they changed it about 4-5 years ago. I heard the cabinets don’t really fit nowadays.

I think the chances of her getting properly fitting cabinets will be a challenge. The warranty should still be good, but maybe it will just be a credit. Then getting a whole new kitchen would be $$$.
