We are renovating as usual and already have a wardrobe that was built on-site to fit the space.
We've had a temporary solution, but after the renovation, it needs to be perfect. There are 2 doors in the wardrobe. Both are made of white-painted chipboard, and in the opening, there is already a drilled hole for a handle on each door. There should of course be 2 holes in each door where a suitable handle should be installed. We are worried that the mirror will break when we make another hole in each door.
How can we do it without breaking it? Alternatively, if there are special handles that can be mounted where one hole goes through and the other is attached to the door + mirror glass without making a hole.
I hope someone understands what I mean and can give tips on a good and stylish solution.

Haven't solved this yet. The entire wardrobe including doors has been dismantled for several weeks during the renovation. My husband has just put everything back up again - including the old doors. So we haven't solved it yet, but we might buy 2 new doors instead. However, I seem to recall that there was some special measurement for the doors... I don't know if they are available anymore. Even Ikea changes both the range and measurements. If we come up with something good that we succeed with, I'll get back to you when this is resolved.

Hi, Anna_H!
Thanks for the tip. I can check if they have ones that long. But it's also important to HIDE the 2 holes that are already there. One is a good bit higher up than the other.
....Do I need to say that there were 2 doors at Fynd I found that time. They were probably supposed to be left doors, both of them, but I thought it would work just as well to flip one..... Overlooked that the pre-drilled holes then wouldn't be opposite each other....
What a blunder - and I didn't think it would take so long to fix.........
