This is a digital product, available for download immediately after purchase.
What you get

NO.
The files are clear and straightforward—simply hand them over to your carpenter or front manufacturer. They don't require any interpretation or guesswork.
In what form will I receive the product?
This is a digital product (PDF files + list of fronts in Excel).
You'll receive download access immediately after purchase—no shipping or waiting.
Can I use these drill holes for custom fronts?
Yes - absolutely.
You can also use the templates for non-standard fronts, e.g.:
- doors extended up to the ceiling
- fronts covering a recess
- modified heights while keeping METOD compatibility
The documentation keeps the correct drilling logic, so the front works technically just like in the IKEA system, even if its form is custom.
