I ordered these for an Ikea Besta cabinet I was building, but these hinges are useable on any ikea cabinetry that involves door hinges. THEY ARE THE BEST!! Not only are they less expensive by a bunch, they are also BETTER QUALITY, as they have a slow close for that high-end feel. I purchased these for a specific number of doors, but if I have any left over, I will change out the ikea hinges in a heartbeat. I like these a lot better.
Downside: They DO NOT come with instructions, but it's pretty simple once you get the hang of it. I suggest familiarizing yourself with the parts before trying to install.
#1, the hinge and hinge plate separate by using a simple button at the end of the hinge. Push button to release, and the hinge plate falls out. Hook the plate into the hinge and press together at the button end to secure the pieces in place. Try taking them apart a few times to get the hang of how the hinge will clip onto the plate. This will help when its time to mount the door.
#2 Once you install the plate (the part that goes inside the cabinet), you simply mount the other piece (the hinge) onto the door. Screws for mounting are included.
#3 To mount the door, the hinge slides easily into place: Align the hooks of the hinge onto the hinge plate, and then tap the end of the hinge (press together) to secure the connection. Just as you did when you were playing with it. IT IS SO EASY!!
I love that the door was almost perfectly aligned once mounted, and I love that the tiny adjustment I did need to make was so easily done with the one screw. Counterclockwise to move to the left; clockwise to the right.
I am in love with these hinges, and can't wait until I retrofit my kitchen cabinets with slow-close hinges.
