How can I fit appliance doors to an integrated fridge?

I am in the middle of fitting a new kitchen and have bought integrated fridge and freezer to go under the counter. I also have specific 'appliance' doors as part of the kitchen- but no instructions anywhere for how to fit the fridge door to the cupboard door! Help!|||Didn't you get a series of brackets with it? Typically one for the top %26amp; one for the bottom of the door. These fit the 'open' side %26amp; you screw them into the cupboard door. Offer them up to the fridge %26amp; mark the position for the top %26amp; bottom hinges (on fridge %26amp; cupboard door)...make pilot holes.





Screw fridge door to cupboard door %26amp; line up the hinges. Check opening clearance %26amp; screw in if OK.





The weight of both doors is taken by the hinges.





If the holes wear big the best thing to do is fill with liquid wood %26amp; re screw. Liquid wood is a good DIY tool so even if you use a weeney bit on this job you will find plenty of other uses.





OR you could contact the supplier %26amp; ask them to post you the fixing template?|||there should be a metal runner which attaches to the cupboard door. Usually about 4 or 5 inches long. the appliance has a metal piece which goes under the runner. Go to your local hardware store and tell them you're fitting appliances - they'll tell you what you need
