No markings for hinges, difficult to installCrystalAfter an hour of fiddling with the hinges, I finally got them into the track. You have to open them up and kind of wedge them in and then use the leverage of the door. It’s scary because it’s glass. Then I was hoping to be able to slide them into place since there were no markings on the door. The instructions said there was an A and B marking. There was some orange printed words and a couple of random orange lines, but nothing near where they need to be installed and nothing resembling an A or a B. I took it all apart and lined it up and made pencil marks that will hopefully line up. If not I will try to come up with other ideas to attach it. I had to quit for the day because I ran out of time and patience. I couldn’t find any YouTube videos of anyone building it either. A good idea for a picture frame door but not really worth the emotional turmoil.
Genuinely the worst IKEA product I've ever usedJonIt looks great. The build quality is great. The hinges are SO BAD and so difficult to install that it ruins the entire experience. Every time I look at these shelves for the rest of my life I will think of the time I spent trying to get the stupid hinges to attach to the frame and die a little bit inside. If they weren't the only glass-fronted doors that worked with the 38-inch BILLY bookcase, I would have returned them, but alas. Once you get them together, they'll look good, just know what you're getting into. You're going to have a headache getting them together.
Nice but Hinges are terribleBeatrizI have almost everything in my house ikea and they have pretty good quality time but these doors were terrible to install and the hinges feel cheap.
awfulAnnaweird gaps, hardware too visible. the pull knobs make it look cheap.
Stick out like a sore thumb.SarahThe metal really goes against the wood look of the billy. There is a large gap that is near impossible to adjust and fix. These do not assemble easily at all and stick out, not very flush.
Looks good but... very difficult to install/adjust.Anonymous reviewerThese were far too difficult to assemble and install.
The install markings on doors are barely visible. Attempting to get both hinges in the proper position turned into a trial & error festival of installing, locking them down, putting the door in place and then taking it all down and trying again. This was exacerbated when we attempted to put two doors next to each other. Getting them to match in height, left to right, was maddening.
After installing two sets and finally getting them lined up, our final task was installing the handles. 3 of the 4 snapped right into place. The last one, of course, would not clip into its proper position.
I tried to order replacements. I found that there are two different part numbers for the handle but nothing that tells you the difference between them (10086510 & 10086511, mine are dark) and it turns out that both items are out of stock so it really doesn’t matter which is which. They’re currently unavailable, leaving me with one handle missing.
Perfect Billy Glass Door OptionDianaI LOVE this door for the billy bookcase and think it's the best option out there, especially if you collect anything and want to still show off everything in the bookcase without having any area of the display blocked (like you might with the Oxberg). I also love the option of being able to put the minimal handle where you want, but honestly, I don't personally use it since I love the clean look without it and I can open the door fine.
I really hope Ikea comes out with a size that fits the extension shelves so all my shelves are able to be covered and protected.
Nice DoorsJeffreyEasy to install, well made
Cool idea, will it work?Anonymous reviewerWill two of these fit on the skinny bookcase, 502.638.38? I want two separate doors, one to put a solid covering behind and the other for display.
Love these Billy doors!!!!!CindyLove these Billy doors!!!!!
Perfect fitLaurenSmall and narrow enough,holds just the right amount of books & looks so modern
Perfect for Displaying FiguresDavisAfter using Detolfs and Billys with Oxberg doors, I've found the perfect combination: the Billy with Hogbo doors.
The metal frame is solid, but thin enough to make the contents very visible. Installation was very easy and uses the existing holes on the Billy. The mounting brackets are adjustable too, making it straightforward to adjust the height, spacing, and depth of the doors.
Love itJesseLove it
