Kitchen Fitting: Integrated Fridge Door Mounting Kit

[wingit]

Hi, I've got an ESSENTIALS CIR60W12 Integrated Undercounter Fridge

from
http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/built-...egrated-undercounter-fridge-12338301-pdt.html

I need to put an integrated door on it now and am not sure what sort of mounting kit I need to get.

Here are photos of the screw holes (38mm apart) two at the top of the fridge door and two at the bottom

And the hinges, one top and one bottom

Is the door somehow fixed directly to the hinges?
Do I need some kind of slider mount where the screw holes are?

Thanks

Those blanked off holes will be for if you want to move the hinges to the other side.

On our (different make) fridge, the external door sits proud of the fridge door using some angled brackets which screw to the inside of the exterior door and the side edges of the fridge door. Nothing slides. Can you see any holes on the sides of the fridge door?

EDIT: I think I know why you mentioned a sliding mount. If you were expecting to put a normal hinged door on the cabinet, that isn't the way it works. The cabinet door is independent of the cabinet carcass and is fixed firmly to the fridge door. It just looks like a normal unit door when it is closed. The fridge hinges are designed so the cabinet door doesn't snag as it opens.

I have yet to come across an Integrated Fridge or freezer that doesn't include the fitting kit for the door as well as install instructions..

You would be better off if you ask the manufacturer for another fitting kit if you have misplaced the one that came with it.

It has screw holes in the top and bottom of the door. Thanks. I might have to improvise some brackets.

I bought it from Currys, we used it in the meantime while I was renovating the kitchen. Now that its nearly finished I can't find the mounting brackets. I tried calling Currys but they wouldn't entertain the idea of helping as the purchase was too long ago, even though they still sell the same product.

Yes, you're right, it makes sense now.
