All kitchen units are now to a standard size no matter whether its MFI, B&Q, Homebase or whatever, they are always in metric one metre or 1/2 metre sizes. All the screw holes and fittings are the same. Quite a lot of them are coated with a thin plastic film to imitate wood, very easily scratched. Nowt wrong wi proper wood, lasts longer and can be stripped and varnished a different colour.
They are about the only thing that has been standardised, I know plumbing fittings are supposed to be, but I have found different thread and nut sizes for the same thing, especially on central heating radiators, fortunately I have a lathe, milling machine, and a large range of threading sizes, so I can adapt a lot of the silly sizes to fit.

They are probably more now - after 4 years - not wood but paint sprayed MDF
- worth looking at B&Q site
You need to measure very precicely in metric.
.. and hope that the hinge fitting holes are in the same place on the new ones - mine were - they were fitted, by me, within 2 hours of delivery - but then I am an old hand at DIY  |
