SEKTION above fridge cabinet: Conflict with MAXIMER drawer VOXTORP doors

Doors block the movement of the slide-out shelf.Doors block the movement of the slide-out shelf.I have a SEKTION above fridge cabinet where I want the pullout MAXIMER drawer and VOXTORP doors. (The doors for the SEKTION cabinet use UTRUSTA hinges). The problem is the inside width of the drawer is too wide such that the doors block the drawer from pulling out to access the back of the drawer.
Is there an alternate solution where I can have the doors but a different pullout drawer that is solid and flat. (Width 30", Depth 24")

Hej,

Thanks for getting in touch with us about this! We’re sorry to hear about the issues you’ve been facing.

It looks like you don’t need too much extra room. If you turn those screws on the outside of the hinges, you can adjust the connected doors in various directions. This is also depicted in the hinge assembly guide if you wanted a visual of how this works.

You may be able to move the doors outward just enough so the drawer has space to slide out.

Please let us know if this works.

I'm having the same problem.  I have 3 MAXIMERA drawers with UTRUSTA drawer fronts and a VOXTORP door. The drawers are either too wide to come out past the door or it's impossible to have the door flush on the inside to allow  the drawer to come out. I have adjusted the hinges several times in many positions without success. I'm looking for a solution as well. Currently this is not going to work at all.  Thank you

Hi Kookie, i have been researching this more. The hinge connections to the furniture are a standard design. There are other hinges made by 3rd party companies and sold at such places as Home Depot, that can the swing the door wide and clear of the edge of the cabinet, such as hinges that open to 135 degrees. I will post here what I find.

As Kookie noted, trying to adjust the hinges to allow the drawer to pull out will result in a gap between the doors when they are closed. I tried to adjust the hinges many different ways also will no success. 
Are there other options for pull out drawers for the requirement presented here?

Hi FJÄLLBO, 

Do you have any other suggestions on a sliding shelf solution while keeping the doors?

Hi! We had a similar issue with a 3rd party pullout for a corner cabinet. We switched the ikea 110 degree hinges with the ikea 153 degree hinges. They use the same attachment at the cabinet, so no need to remove those little pieces, just the hinge part on the door itself. The 153 degree hinges have a different mechanism so even when just at 90 degrees, they have a little more clearance from the interior of the cabinet.  

Thanks for the suggestion  @DIYess. It is really appreciated  😊

@Snevyl , what is the part number for the 153 degree hinges? What would be the shipping cost to send them to me?

@P9976 Did this help? Let us know so we can better assist you!

Thank you  @DIYess. I will pick them up when I am next at IKEA. It sounds like a promising solution.

Have you thought of trying the 120 degree hinges?  I have a similar configuration to yours (although it's in the previous generation of Rationell cabinets) and I think that's what you may need.  Check out the photo.
