Follow these steps to attach the door to your IKEA cabinet frame.

Prepare the Frame: Ensure the cabinet frame is level and securely mounted. Attach the hinge mounting plates to the cabinet frame according to the hinge instructions.
Prepare the Door: Lay the door face down on a soft, protected surface. Identify the pre-drilled holes for the hinges on the back of the door.
Attach Hinges to Door: Align the hinge arms with the pre-drilled holes on the door. Insert and tighten the provided screws using a Phillips screwdriver. Do not overtighten.
Mount Door to Frame: Carefully lift the door and engage the hinge arms onto the mounting plates attached to the cabinet frame. You should hear a click when properly engaged.
Initial Check: Gently open and close the door to ensure it is seated correctly and moves smoothly.

Tip: It is easier to install doors with a helper to hold the door in place during mounting.
