Can I buy new doors and fittings for my BILLY bookcase that was purchased in 2014 or earlier?
BILLY has been at IKEA for many years, but in 2014 we made a number of improvements to the series, which means that it is not possible to supplement an old BILLY bookshelf with new doors or fittings.
It is also not possible to mount old doors or furnishings on new BILLY bookshelves. The reason is, among other things, that the attachment points for the hinges differ between the newer and old model.
