I need advice about slimline intergrated dishwasher. I have a problem with kitchen units. As I am planning to fit dishwasher in one of the unit. It is 500 mm width. I only find door which is suitable for dishwasher and it is 600 mm. So is it possible to buy 500 mm door and can it be fitted to slimline intergrated dishwasher?

Also If I am buying dishwasher. Will it come with fittings for the door?

Thanks

Leo,
To answer your questions:
Yes you can purchase and fit a 500mm wide door to fit a slimline 450mm dishwasher but as the space is increased by 50mm you will need to use 2 x 25mm infills either side of the 500mm aperture.
Secondly, when you purchase any integrated appliance they arrive with all necessary fittings to apply to the integrated door along with a paper or card template for correct alignment of screws and fittings. Adhere this to the rear of your door after following the installation instructions and use a pilot drill to mark fixing points.

Leo,
Given that you will be fitting a 450mm slimline dishwasher yet wish to fit a 500mm door, this will require that the opening space(aperture) will have to be 500mm. Fitting a 450mm dishwaher means in this case that you fit two equal infill panels, (These can be fitted to adjacent units each side of the appliance and will be the same height as the door overlay cabinet height) For instance if your cabinets are 870mm and your plinth height is 150mm then your infills each side will be 25mm x 720mm.
You can use 450mm wide doors if your chosen range offers them as many do.
