Can I have a hinged door on my BILLY corner shelf?
If your 40 cm wide BILLY corner shelf is placed between other shelf frames, we do not recommend installing a hinged door, as it may hit the unit next to it. However, if your BILLY corner shelf is freestanding, adding a hinged door works perfectly.
If you choose to use the 40 cm BILLY corner shelf as a freestanding unit, you can easily add a hinged door for a stylish and functional result. If the shelf stands directly next to other BILLY frames, we recommend considering another solution, as the door may come into contact with the adjacent unit.
