hi guys. the pitch of the hinges. to fit wooden door on .its a real pain that these are not all same .. i know if buy same make they are meant to line up .. but the new bosch dont line up with the old bosch neff ,, but i noticed the bekos line up great .. and the indesits line up great with the old diplomat whirlpool machines ..i have a electrolux one i need to do .. but zanussi lux ones very expensive .. anyone know a cheaper model that will line up well with hinges .. also think be good, to put list of ones which makes line up well with others , ta

even if they line up with the distance between hinge centres they may be vertically in a different position

agree m8 its a complete mine field

these days i say i cant promise to fit the outer door and they may need to get a joiner or kitchen fitter to sort it

You need a quality Forster bit, I use Fisch. They ain’t cheap, but boy are they sharp and allow you to cut even holes overlapping if you’re careful.

Never understand why the Appliance Manufacturers and Kichen Manufacturers have not Standardisd the fitting of doors on intergrated products.. even when you fit like for like there is a difference We always advise our customers if they buy intergrated the might be a problem with out doors so we have a Kitchen Fitting Company that cuts door from our engineers measuerements, of course this incures an extra charge
