Brilliantly explained and hugely underrated camera work too. Great job

[@JustynaJameson]

Thank you so much! The explanation about adjusting door hinges is gold dust! Now our son's wardrobe doors close properly.

[@PPFlatPack]

Glad it worked for you. Thanky ou for watching

[@linneamedia]

Your tutorials on this are by far the best. So calm, such great details, very straightforward and simple. Really good work

[@PPFlatPack]

Look like you find the right channel. Thank you for watching

[@unomomento1283]

Thank you! I wasn’t sure if a tiny woman can do this, but I didn’t have time to wait for an assembly man to come in a week, so needed to do it myself today in order for my apartment to look presentable for some guests. And I did it after watching your video. Very useful!

[@PPFlatPack]

Thank you for watching tiny women;)

[@elenafilippou1821]

​@@PPFlatPack ahaha! tiny woman #2 here! Thank you! i had the really tall ones so i used books and blankets etc! thank you for showing so many times the various adjustments, too!

@@PPFlatPack and tiny woman #3 here! Thank you so much for this video. I used some of the thick cardboard pads from the packaging to support the doors and managed to get it all done with your help. Thank you!

One of the best demonstrations ever!! Thank you for not cutting short and not fast forwarding. I didn't have to guess the in between for what may and may not be off.

[@janetjohnson6407]

I just want to thank you so much. I built my entire 3 door PAX wardrobe from start to finish watching your videos. Following your videos made it so much easier and allowed me to put everything together in the quarter of the time it would normally take me. Ikea really ought to get you to do official how-to videos for all their furniture! You just made it so much easier and easier to understand than their paper instructions. Many many thanks. Ps. Please forgive me but I’m putting this comment on all the videos I followed and found useful. Thanks again.

[@PPFlatPack]

Glad my videos worked for you see many similar comments regarding Ikea should include my videos or approach me officially to do it for them for all products. So far no one has gotten in touch but maybe if more people let them know they will. There were some comments when in the Ikea store Ikea employees recommended my videos to follow hahaha. Will see you maybe one day. Thank you for watching I'm happy my videos help many people all over the world it makes an effort worthy.

[@michaelclarke5232]

This was great. The tips on how to square up the frame was so important. Good job. The door hanging was the easy part. Love the use of the foot.

[@PPFlatPack]

Thank you for watching

[@Zolnierzu]

If you're as unprepared as I am and all you have is a screwdriver I'd suggest tightening and loosening the hinge's screws prior to screwing them to the wardrobe frame - sometimes they're hard to move for the first few twists, and trust me, you don't want to find out about that while holding the door with one hand and screwing them in with the other, while your foot gets numb from all the weight ;)

[@carlslo6757]

You can just use some books !!

[@fabianmckenna8197]

​@@carlslo6757 No books........ Will a Kindle be any good.😂

[@antonnilsson3793]

my dad trying to put these doors up and was going on a angry rant on how complicated things like this has become so i told him multiple times to look it up on youtube but refused so i had to do it and well thanks to this video he didn`t burst a blood vessel🤣

[@PPFlatPack]

Glad your dad survived ;) Thank you for watching

[@vanessacazares7960]

Oh! My! Goodness! Thank you so much!! I did it by myself very successfully because of your video. You made it so easy & clear. Great, clear step by step instruction.

[@PPFlatPack]

Thank you for watching

[@FondueBrothers]

You can also use a plie of books or magazines to raise the door up while fitting the hinges. Good video!

[@fischiwien]

After you did it, it've done it. I was a bit hopless first, after watching your vid I got convinced, that I could install those damn doors myself. Very good video - clear instructions! Keep on your good work.

[@MariaHallett]

Thanks so much for the video! I'm installing the doors tomorrow and I've had issues trying to fix doors and a drawer on an assembled Besta unit I bought in their As Is section. I'm going to have to measure the frame like you did at the beginning. I never thought to do that! I've always been mystified by their hinge adjustment instructions, but I'll be sure to apply your tips when I attempt to fix it. Thanks again! I know where to go anytime I need to assemble any other IKEA stuff!

[@henkhanselaar6238]

There is is little bit different version of Komplement hinges. With click fixing between box and door and all hinges are with soft close.

Thanks, great demonstration really helped me!

[@PPFlatPack]

[@GS-mf5bc]

I see how you are adjusting the doors up and down Can you do this while all three hinges are in place, or do you have to unscrew two of the hinges?

[@DashDrones]

Thanks so much, I can't figure out how to higher and lower the hinges, it looks like they've changed since this video was made😢

[@christian1316]

Is there a way to make the drawers not scrape against the hinges?

Hi.Can you please tell me are the doors meant to line up with the top panel. Thanks for the excellent ikea videos.

[@Mrahamedmalik]

Good job, excellent guidance

[@mrpositronia]

Thanks. The holes for the screws on the doors dont align with the holes on the hinge. Am i doing something wrong, or can i just make new holes?

[@OrlandoTsai]

thanks, the very beginning of the back is very important and not mentioned in the manual, btw, do u have the slide door version?

[@fabianmckenna8197]

In the manual they point out that you should make sure the hardboard backing is square to the frame while nailing it........

[@angellas.1314]

Are the 4 hinges really necessary for the tallest Pax cabinet?

[@VitaliyDubil]

Thank you. Very helpful.

[@Elliebes]

Unfortunately my ikea vikdal mirror pax door hinges have pulled out from the door itself. I notice now this brand has been discontinued. There is only 3 hinge pockets on this door not 4 like I see on other doors. Do you have any suggestions for this?

[@DJTechnique0101]

How do you open those doors? We have 231mm high doors dont want drill for handles, any open push system?

[@arnenuggat]

Hello and thank you very much for your videos. Im rigth in the middle of building a Pax wardrobe. Can I put it rigth next to a wall ? Or will the hinged doors not be able to open enough to get the baskets and drawers out ?

[@PPFlatPack]

Leave at last 1cm from the wall it is good for ventilation to don't get mould on the wall behind the wardrobe and if you have bigger door handle leave more door need to be open 90degre. If you are not sure, build one frame one drawer and one door with a door handle and check if you can open comfortably without problems.

[@arnenuggat]

@@PPFlatPack thank you 👍

[@SueOates]

Hello, we are refurbing an existing fitted wardrobe and are considering the mirror doors, either Aheim or Vikedal but we will need to use strong flush hinges. My question is, is the back of the doors particle board so we can use screws ?

[@britdelangen1113]

Thanks so much!

[@spaceforthesoul6286]

6:00 yes i was looking for that but could not do it myself

[@DhuhaAlhatmi]

Thank you !

[@joannemcleod8524]

can you get hinge restrictors clips for IKEA's komplement soft closing hinges ... if so what type would you suggest.

[@jagjeetkaur4769]

Hi, I cannot seem to get my right hand side door to go on. The two left ones went on fine, including the mirror one. But the right hand one seems to be going into lower holes for the middle hinge. Any suggestions? I am out of ideas trying to get it on. Thanks

[@angellas.1314]

I had the same issue as well. Would also like to hear his solution. I just moved the hinge a bit up before installing the door and now it matches the holes correctly.

[@imabeliever3]

My pax "soft closing hinges" mounted at top and bottom of wardrobe don't work and consequently the doors slam closed. Is it possible to adjust soft closing mechanism. Please can you help.

[@Bella_KG]

I want to order a lax wardrobe with two mirror and two wood doors, can I pick here I want to place the mirrored ones or is there a this side up and this side down system? P.s. They are all the same size at 50cm

[@sergio_x2487]

How to disable soft closing hinge? There's a little plastic switch, but id doen't do anything (at least in hands)

[@ciprianculea7233]

Hi! I have an issue with putting the doors on the Pax wardrobe. Basically on one of the sides screwing the doors in works perfectly, the other side seems that you need to fix the screws in lower holes than the opposite door. It also makes it harder to find the holes on the second door. Can you help with your advice? Thanks in advance

[@jagjeetkaur4769]

I also have this problem, did you manage to find a solution? Thanks

[@fpsnerfful]

If I have a regular draw where the basket drawer is, can I still use a door or can I use only two hinges

[@drogna3905]

I had the mirror doors, so heavy! I had to prop them up on books to fit them.

[@PPFlatPack]

True the mirrored doors are the heaviest from all Ikea hinged doors not so easy to play around withe them.

[@iNatsuFN]

Door hinges were working fine and then suddenly it became useless it doesn’t work anymore? The door closed so fast!is there a way to fix this?

[@johnknapman7589]

Hiya, just brought wardrobes from IKEA, been delivered, are the frames the same for hinged & sliding doors

[@edopasaribu5053]

Subscribe to your channel right after watch your videos, Ikea should hire you rather than the flat guy in their assembly guide

[@PPFlatPack]

Many koments like yours ....still waiting for ikea to implement my videos on the website. Thank you for watching

[@amandeepkhera1608]

Thank you and as you mentioned mirrored doors are heavy , is there any way apart from fixing it in the wall as my wardrobe is falling when I am opening both the mirror doors and also will it be happening if I will exchange one mirrored door ? Or do you suggest I should get both the doors exchanged and use the standard doors to avoid falling

[@PPFlatPack]

Only the way is to fix wardrobes to the wall. If you get regular doors not sure if it still goes down when open all 4 doors. Once you load the wardrobe with clothes should be better but I would still fix them to the wall especially if there are small kids at home, if not before you load the wardrobe put some spacer under the front part of the wardrobe (under the side panels not the small panel on the middle). Here is the link how the spacers look like kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIXZnaCjf9mmbck). The whole wardrobe would lean towards the wall not towards you. That should help a little. All that said better to be safe than sorry.

[@donyelef]

Smart!

[@rammyx121]

nice video...tx!

[@jamessatterthwaite1586]

Question, the wardrobe is being installed in an opening and I want to install the wardrobe with doors into the opening so i can get a flush installation, How much clearance is needed for the vertical and horizontal measurement so the doors open without hitting the top or sides of the opening ?

[@PPFlatPack]

If your ceiling is straight you can do hinged doors with 0.5cm clearance. Vertical depend if your wall is straight if enough space to build 1cm on each side would be safe

[@sikandarzahid3924]

What about the door handles!?!!

[@ivorputnam5958]

The fish eye lens you use makes all the bits look round on the edges. Cant you use a regular lens.

[@kenneyderocher1367]

what are the measurements for the frames?

[@yusufgazi7]

Adjusting the height doesn’t work?

[@georgemacdonald5282]

I would never use an electric drill for screwing on wardrobe hinges or kitchen unit hinges as the drill can over tighten them, i always use a screwdriver, as for placing hinges on the door i always screw one part of hinge to door and the other part to the carcass as it saves trying to hold it with your foot, if you use your foot there's a risk of the doors falling when only one hinge is in and you lose your balance and force the hinge out of the door.

[@fabianmckenna8197]

I've just built a Pax wardrobe and three Malm cupboards using my Ryobi drill/driver with the screwdriver torque setting on 8. No over tightened screws and everything worked perfectly...... well almost. My second IKEA 236 wardrobe was perfectly sealed but on opening it, I discovered only two sides and one top with an extra cardboard spacer where the bottom should have been. Seven to ten days to wait for a replacement base for a brand new purchase after spending almost £2,500..........

[@PaulGrantDesigns]

I watched it on mute. Was digging the powder blue doors... until the wrap came off :)

[@twotwo5579]

Mine is oversized: ( it wont even close.

[@edvinpedvin]

Yes yes, but how to remove the doors?

[@hockysa]

I didn’t measure corner to corner. :(

[@PPFlatPack]

Ups

[@bentaye]

Thanks! The doors came with no instruction whatsoever.

[@Merlijn39]

These hinges are made by the devil.

[@tomazevic007]

These hinges suck and stoped working after 2 months lol, no more soft closing anything...
