I'm building a kitchen island for a customer which will incorporate an under counter wine fridge/store (Siemens iQ 500).
The installation instructions say it fits in a 600mm wide opening which sounds right as the fridge is about 595 wide but the problem I see is that as the door is opened the corner of it projects about 5mm past the edge of the fridge returning to within the fridge width when it's fully open.
Was hoping to keep the front of the fridge in line with the front of the doors/frame and not have it looking too "gappy".
Anyone else come across this, pictures show it all fitting nice and flush but I think it needs either maybe 8mm shadow gap down each side or the whole thing standing forwards the thickness of the door (which we don't want)?

@Distinterior you must have fitted a few of these in your time?
