How to install groove panels on kitchen island, doors and drawers?

Hello,

I want to upcycle/resurface the existing kitchen island, doors and drawers to this groove kitchen.

I am thinking about using the Porta 84x12mm 2.7m White Primed Pine Portaline Dune and Selleys 350g Heavy Duty Liquid Nails.

1. Is 12mm too thick to wrap around the island, glue on the doors and drawers?

2. What paint do you recommend?

Thank you1000004723.jpg1000004725.jpg1000004726.jpg1000004727.jpg1000004728.jpg5.PNG

Hi @Beginner20 

 

I'm assuming the door left of the drawers opens and there are hinges missing to connect that to the missing door? If so, there are a few variations available like this one that open to varying degrees. 

 

If you can confirm if this is how the door/s should operate @MitchellMc or @EricL maybe able to be more specific.

Thank you @MitchellMc and @Nailbag :smile:

Attached are the photos of the door and the missing hinge.

Also, I also need to replace all the runners in the attached photos. Do you know which drawer runners I need?

Thanks :smile:1000007334.jpg1000007335.jpg1000007337.jpg1000007338.jpg1000007340.jpg

Hi @Beginner20 

 

These hinges should work for the hinge set.

 

 

The drawer runners will be more challenging. Though  HARN cabintery products are readily available, their Triomax runners are not. At least in Australia these days. Then there are different lengths and heights etc to deal with. You could call this company for their advice. 

 

Failing that, it is possible to modify the drawers to accomodate a more readily available runner system like Hafele, which are available through Bunnings. I have had a similar issue when replacing a couple of faulty drawer runners with another brand. The modification is typically a more advanced skill-level process. Unless @MitchellMc has any ideas, I would be having the drawers professionally done by a local cabinet-maker. Just get a few quotes. They may may say, keep the fronts and replace the rest of the drawers as a cheaper alternative to modification.

Hi @Beginner20,

 

These Kaboodle hinges should be suitable for your cabinet. However, if you still have the hinges, it's best to take them with you into a store to match up exactly.  

 

Regarding the runners, as @Nailbag mentioned, it might be best to replace them entirely with runners available off the shelf. If you are not confident in their replacement, it would be best to enlist a professional for installation.
