Corner unit query
Is there any reason why I can't fit a 600mm door on to a regular 1000 Hi-Line corner base unit?
I can't see why I can't move the center post, increase the void in the corner and buy a 600 door to fit...
Howdens rep says no.

Re: Corner unit query
I don't see why you can't, I modify units all the time, you will just end up with a bigger 'lost space' gap in the corner
Your only problem is covering the holes where the centre post was, a couple of push in caps will do the job

Re: Corner unit query
Thanks
Slight misunderstanding, it was 'no' to a standard corner unit with a 600mm door because they don't do one in the range we're looking at. It was the wife that spoke to him; I've spoken to him this morning and he's happy to supply what ever we ask for and we can adapt it however we choose.

Re: Corner unit query
Again talking crap! The carcases from Howdens aren't range specific. You have an 1100 unit with a 600 door on (from any range) or you have a 1000 corner with a 500 door on (from any range)Pooneil wrote:Thanks

Is their something else about the corner unit which is unusal? What rage are you looking at and what colour are the carcases?

Re: Corner unit query
Oh hang on, you saying you need the extra void space because you have an obstruction?

Re: Corner unit query
No, just wanted a 600mm door from the corner. It's the Saponetta range.
So the 1000 Hi-line corner base unit (that measures 1131mm wide) should come with a 600mm door?
I've fit 600mm doors on corner unit before, so I thought it was strange he said no. I don't think he's talking crap, I think we've confused each other.

Re: Corner unit query
The 1000 base should come with a 500 door, you need to space it 131mm away from the wall to allow enough space for the adjoining unit and corner post,
If you want a 6oo door and move the post you will need to have a 231mm gap from the wall
