Replacement Kitchen Door - Noyeks - Pre-drilled Holes?

    Had a kitchen fitted about 3 years back.

    2 issues:

    (i) Integrated fridge freezer - the freezer has somehow discoloured the panel inside the oak shaker door. Seems cold air is escaping but seals seem ok - no obvious leak.

    I have identified the door used - Noyeks Stock Oak Shaker.

    I was thinking about getting a new door and putting it on - I measured and they appear to have in stock. I don't have any experience drilling holes for the hinges - are these generally pre-drilled? That would avoid me making more of a mess.

    (ii) The wife decides to use washing up liquid in the dishwasher (don't ask). Suds flood the place while I'm out, the wife cleans up but doesn't realise that some water has escaped under the plinth.

    A few days later when all that water has soaked its way into the plinth it becomes discoloured - black.

    I'm not sure how this piece would be removed, though I imagien I can buy a new plinth - could anyone explain what I need to do to get it out. There's no visible fixings. There is a piece of clear plastic running along the btoom. Tiles were in place before kitchen was fitted.

    I'll post pics if this helps. Advice welcomed. The guy who fitted was good but gave me the impression he wouldn't be interested in small jobs - I recommended him to somebody for something else and he told them the job was too small.

    The plinth is probably clipped on to the legs of the units & should come off with a gentle tug.
    Can't help with the Noyeks doors though but I'd say a phone call would give you an answer fast.

    Called them earlier- apparently they changed the style (as you do) from a Matt finish to a gloss finish so I might be leaving it as is! They told me they would drill the holes for me?

    Depending on how it was fitted, the plinth will just pull out. If you look at it from the floor there should be a gap between the top of the plinth and the carcasses above. Should just pop off, but the fitter could have used screws from the carcasses down into it either.

    Very easy to turn a gloss finish into a matt finish.
    Just rub with some 0000 steel wool
