Dishwasher door hinge holes - problem

[Jimbosquarepants]

Hello,

I've looked everywhere for an answer...please help!

I have a fully integrated dishwasher and need to attach the matching kitchen door, however, my kitchen supplier can only supply a door with the hinge holes pre drilled on them.

Typically one of the hinge holes is where I need to attach a plastic plug which would slot into the dishwasher front.

I've heard that you can get wooden/plastic 'plugs/bungs' that you can glue in the hole and then drill into....I can't find them anywhere.
If I have to buy a drill cutter bit to make it myself that's going to cost a lot more than a 'plug/bung'.

Any help appreciated.

Wood glue and match sticks, poke into glue and insert. Leaving proud, insert more until no more can be inserted.
Let dry, nip off the excess with a chisel.

Job done.

I reckon you are probably after something like this but all the search results I came up with seem to be from the US.

The plastic ones are hollow so would probably be of little use:

Doh, assumed ( Fatal error) it might be the drill holes.

What is the diameter of the holes, most timber merchants sell dowels from 3mm to 40 mm off the shelf. You just might have to buy half a meter.

Cheers for your replies- the diameter is 3.5cm.

I might see if I can find someone with a hole saw and get them to cut me a bit, if not a length of dowel it is!

Door should have only two holes, which you will need for hinges, other side should be blank, which is where the buffer plug sits.

Perhaps you could fill it with car body filler or Epoxy resin they could be fixed into and the filler will not be seen once the door is on.
