Newbie and can't figure out how to ask a question so just diving in! I am trying to install birch Akurum cabinets with Adel medium brown cabinet doors and have a 1/8" strip of birch showing on each side of the cabinet door. Ikea says door is right size. How do I fix this?

	Akurum definition Akurum is the North American equivalent of FAKTUM; that is the fitted, frameless, component kitchen cabinet line, which when paired with door and drawer fronts as well as interior accessories makes up the full kitchen cabinet system.

With heat and a putty or razor knife, the offending banding on the edges of the carcasses can be unglued, removed and replaced with something like wood banding, stained to match. Painting it is another popular option. Search the forums here and you will find lots of info.

I have dark doors with white carcasses and there's really only a couple of spots where that bit of white is noticeable enough to annoy me. My solution was a line of brown sharpie which needs to be refreshed every once in a while because it fades in sunlight.
