Larder freezer. Can I attach a door. It isn’t ‘integrated’

[freezerbuyer]

I am buying a new larder freezer and want it to have as much storage space as possible, but I want it to look built in.

Therefore I would prefer not to buy an integrated freezer, as so much space is lost.

There is no restriction on space, as I have a space that is 1 metre deep and as wide as I want, and the cupboard will be built by a carpenter to fit the freezer and will have any ventilation needed.

I would like the freezer to look built in.

The question is – are there hinges I can buy to fit to a freezer such as this one to attach a cupboard door to it, without buying an integrated freezer? The cupboard door would be made to fit.

The difference in storage space between the non-integrated and integrated model of the same price and approx the same size is the non-integrated is 60{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}!

Thanks a lot

Hi

You will not be able to fit integrated hinges to a freestanding appliance without a lot of work . If you did manage to overcome this it would also invalidate your guarantee as well.

In the olden days you were able to get decor panels which were a couple of mm thick and were attached to a frame which screwed to the door edges. A good kitchen supplier may be able to come up with something like that. However the guarantee could still be an issue.

Another thought would be to go for a stainless steel appliance while not integrated would give the kitchen a commercial look.
