TOOLS & HARDWARE
YOU WILL NEED
A manual or electric screw driver, screws and the IKEA manual.
NOTE
Hinges for Billy frames are a little complicated since
IKEA packages hinges with their doors for Billy and they
cannot be purchased separately. The HJÄLPA hinges are
however a workable alternative – and in the spirit of this
IKEA-hacking concept, their installation requires a little
DIY as you will need to replace two the blunt hinge
screws provided by IKEA with the point ended screws
weprovide as replacements.
These will penetrate the frame without a guide hole,
asrequired for the two top-most hinge screws that sit
one position above of the pre-drilled holes
(that are made for the shelves).

STEP ONE
Assemble all the IKEA components
as per the IKEA manual instructions.

STEP TWO
Using a rug for protection, lay the door down with the hinge
holes facing upwards. Use the screws provided by IKEA to screw
in the hinges until firmly fixed into the door.

STEP THREE
Once the hinges are attached properly into the Fronteriors door,
align the door to the cabinet frame and check on the illustration
for the location of the holes where the hinge mounting plate will
attach. Use a screwdriver to screw in the 17mm screw supplied
until the hinge is firmly fixed into the cabinet.
NOTE
Once the hinge plates have been screwed into the cabinet frame, the
doors may look uneven. Don‘t panic. Hinges are designed to be adjusted
for optimal alignment - it just takes some tweaking with a screwdriver.
(See hinge adjustment page)

STEP FOUR
Attach the shelf pins (included in the IKEA components
you purchased) in the hole locations as per the instruction
in the IKEA manual guide.

STEP FIVE
Locate the pre-drilled holes on both ends of the shelf
and place the shelves one by one by pushing it gently into
the shelf pins.

KNOBS
Our doors do not have pre-drilled
holes for knobs. Once you have
selected the position of your
knob(s), drill a guide hole from
the front side of the door,
using the 4mm drill bit.
HANDLES
Our doors do not have pre-drilled
holes for handles - however, some
designs have a predetermined
position for handles. Once you
have selected the position of your
handles, use the provided screws
to fix them into position.
TIP
If you have a piece of scrap wood available, hold it tightly at
the back of the door for the drill to continue into. This will
prevent the back side of the door from chipping.
