I am fitting a kitchen on a budget and the cabinet range doesn't have a 450mms door for the appliance I want, Can I fit a 500mm? There is room for 500mms but would the appliance be ok with more weight?

it might be possible to adjust the door spring, but you had better consult the installation instructions for the model you have in mind.
 
I have
What I did was to get some white contiboard style stuff and cut 25mm strips the same height as the units
I then screwed this to each unit from inside the neighbouring cupboard, top and bottom.
I also replicated the top rail of a unit.

Then after a fair bit of wiggling, screwed the washer into the 25mm strip.


It's a bit of a faff but works.

Sorry- I assumed it was an integrated appliance he was fitting.
I read it that he could get 500 doors, but not 450's

I was fitting an integrated 450 into a 500 slot
 
Hi, Yes I'm fitting an integral slimline dishwasher (450mm ) but I can make room for a 500mms door so that will mean the the door will oversized by 25mms each side , would it be possible?
