I'm fitting some new [Ikea] kitchen-unit doors to old carcasses, but the pre-drilled hinge holes are in the wrong place.
Drilling new holes isn't a problem (and won't overlap the old holes), but does anyone sell a simple (plastic?) plug to disguise the original holes?
A search for "35mm hinge plugs" give loads of hits
They must do - I have had carcases that arrived with pre drilled hinge holes on both sides with one side filled with a simple plastic plug.
e.g.
Wouldn't it be easier to keep the 34mm holes but move the hinges in the carcass rather than drilling a new 35mm hole in the door?
