IKEA offers a wide range of interchangeable fronts and doors, for PAX, METOD, SMÅSTAD and many more. The different options come in various materials and finishes to suit many households. This naturally also means that the doors come in different thicknesses. It is therefore important to pay attention to this when choosing a knob or handle, to ensure that the one you choose can accommodate the thickness of the surface you want to attach it to.
Take a look at our range of knobs and handles on the website. Under the “Product information” on the product page, you can see which thickness ranges they are compatible with.
