Kitchen Fitting

Need help choosing correct Cooke and Lewis integrated appliance door for appliance.

Anonymous user 28/02/2024 - 3.36 PM

Hi, Looking for advice from someone familiar with fitting B&Q kitchens.I am wanting to know if there's a Cooke and Lewis 60cm integrated appliance furniture door available that will fit straight on to a standard 60cm wide Candy/Hoover integrated washing machine, or is drilling additional hinge holes to align the doors up with the hinges the only option available for me to fit a Cooke and Lewis integrated appliance door on to a Candy integrated appliance . Thanks

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Hi I've fitted numerous Cooke& Lewis kitchens for B&Q, Generally the doors are considered generic and would not have a specific hole alignment for your appliance.From what you say I assume the appliance has Blum type hinges, If so you'll need a 35mm forstner bit to get the best results.

I have fitted C&L doors to integrated appliances (Bosch, Candy etc) and generally the top anchor pre-drilled points are accurate. They appear to have agreed on a common standard at last. The only time I have to measure and drill pilots is at the base of doors to suit each manufacturers supplied brackets. However, these are generally very adaptable and allow for +-10mm accuracy in all directions. :)
