hinge for furniture door for integrated fridge unit

[theNovice]

Thanks Claydon Lad and all others. I really appreciate the advice. If I ever get it completed I'll post pics of the completed job. Other than the fridge (and the diswasher that is still giving me agro) I'm fairly chuffed for a first effort.

wonder if the decor door is catching on the plinth or the appliance wont go into the gap fully!

Hmm, tell us what your dishwasher problem is and we'll use our collective braincell count of 2 to see if we can help you! :Lol:

You're right, the door is catching on the plinth. From my nose around IKEA last weekend and another higher end kitchen shop, it seems that it is standard practice to 'adjust' the kick by cutting 3/4 - 1 inch off it at the door.

The other 'novice' hurdles are:
1) the furniture door requires the lower 'catches' to be recessed in the door slightly (1-2mm) - it's not a huge issue i'm just a bit nervous of taking a router or chisel to the door to do this (as I've got no skills with either) and
2) I've yet to find the sweet spot on the door alignment. It seems I can't do this w/o having the weight of the furniture door attached and I'm nervous to carve the door to attach the fixings if the appliance door won't properly align anyway.

Again, inexperience and a bit of trepidation standing between me and a finished job.
