Hi All,

I would like to install a row of 80" high-cabs (24" and 15" wide) with frosted glass doors. I also would like to add drawers to this. Is this possible with Ikea's frosted glass doors? If so, I'm assuming all I need to do is order the cabs with the 153 degree Integral hinge.

Thanks,
Joe

Hi Joe and welcome!

Which doorstyle are you interested in? The glass doors are different for each, unless you're talking about the Avsikt aluminum-edge doors. The glass doors only come in 15 and 18 inch widths, though, so you won't find any in the 24 inch width.

I am planning on using the Avsikt aluminum-edge doors which I thought does come in a 24" width. There is listed on the website an 80" glass door cab at 24" and 15" wide. my thought was to purchase those units along with some 24" and 15" drawers.

The GLHD 1580 and 2480 are what they are called in the catalog. Unfortunately, I believe the Avsikt door uses only it's own hinges and can't use the 153 degree hinges. (Hinge Problem) Can anyone confirm this?

The catalog does list the pull out pantry (HPO1580 and HPO2480) in Avsikt glass door so maybe that's an option for you.

yup, gloria, you are right... can't use 153s with them.

Thanks everyone for the info. Overall I love Ikea kitchens, but some of the limitations can be very frustrating Oh well, back to the drawing board.

Are you installing these in a kitchen, or elsewhere? There might be other systems besides the kitchen cabinets that would work in your space. If you'll post a quick drawing or some pix maybe we can brainstorm with you!

Unfortunately, I don't have access to any software I can use to illustrate what I would like to do. But maybe I can explain.

I am planning on doing a whole kitchen revamp. I live in a completely wide open loft and have an Ikea kitchen.

Currently: I basically have one stretch of wall that houses upper/lower cabs, the fridge/freezer, stove/above micro, sink, and dishwasher. All in all it is about 13 feet of cabs/appliances.

Upper cabs for dishes, glasses, pantry items, misc.

Lower cabs for silverware, bowls, cooking utensils, misc.

I also have a 6'x3' island made up of base cabs that hold pots and pans, prep utensils, oils, vinegars, cutting boards, etc... (keeping untouched)

PLan: Eliminate all upper cabs and relocate fridge from the 13' row of cab/appliances to right adjacent wall. Installing more base cabs in place of fridge, installing a 36" gas on gas range, installing a SS farmhouse sink and professional/commercial pre-rinse faucet, installing integrated stacked dishwasher drawers. Cabs will be used to store cooking utensils, pot/pans, all cooking related hard/software.

Adjacent wall will begin with sub-zero 700TCI (inegrated) on left, 24" high cab housing a built-in coffee maker and built-in micro, 24" high glass pantry for pantry items, two 15" glass pantries for dishes, glasses, silverware, servingware, etc...

The overall goal/look for this wall was to create a row of high cabs all flush with each other. Sub-zero finished with white, high gloss panels, integrated micro and coffee in high cab also finished in white, with 3 more additional white framed high cabs with frosted glass doors. Which all seems doable, however I was really hoping of being able to add some drawers to the glass pantries for cleaner/easier access of pantry items, plates, silverware, etc....

Hope this makes sense. I will try and post illustrations later.

Much thanks,
Joe

The link below illustrates the basic configuration (the row of high cabs in blue) I'm going for on the addition to the adjacent wall I mentioned in the last post. The exception is I plan to use white instead of blue and more glass pantries.
