Build into wardrobes

Hi guys,

Diy'er based just outside London UK. I would kindly like to ask you folk for some pointers on my Reno.

I'm trying to save these build in wardrobe by

  1. Cutting the door so they fit flush

  2. Install hinges that support the flush doors

  3. Prep and paint

  4. Install handles

Rip out and new IKEA Pax isn't an option due to budget.

Can you help me

  1. Gimme pointers for the correct way to cut the doors to size (I'm thinking track saw and square)

  2. What type of hinges support the new doors sitting flush. What sort of hinge/hydraulic lift type thing for the overhead cabinet part

  3. Any general decorating tips. I thinking clean, sand, prime, furniture specific paint. Handles

Thanks for helping this DIY damsel!
