IKEA PAX Built in custom

how did u measured the trims? this is the most crucial step...for me its harder than it looks

[@HomeInstallers]

For sure a tricky step. If possible I build the unit with gaps that are the same as a standard trim width. So for example if I build the unit off of a wall I could keep it out 1.5 inches off the wall and then you can buy trim that is pre-primed white that is 1.5 inches thick. Then you only need to cut the length.

How did you fix the side trims to the wall? Did you screw through the cabinet? I have a similar size gap and wondering what way to go about it (glue, screw etc)

[@HomeInstallers]

Normally I add blocking on to the side of the wardrobe and then nail it in. In this instance the gap was so small I just nailed it in from the inside of the cabinet.

@@HomeInstallers thanks. I have about a 4 inch gap so no room to manoeuvre a hammer. Think I’ll glue one end to the wall and screw from the inside of the cabinet
