New Ikea PAX Wardrobe with sliding doors Tutorial Part:2

[@spocket7]

Very instructive and useful video series; Question: Why didn't you use the dedicated joining screws the first time around? Why using just the regular screws on the front before adding the top and bottom rails, and later on go with the joining screws? I would have thought it was better to secure it once and for all at the beginning? Wondering if there was a reason behind this.

Loved the video. It helped me speed through the Installation process and I didn't even need the book!

[@Pathfinder_tua]

Great timing coz I just bought this sliding door pax and gonna build it today or tomorrow.

[@PPFlatPack]

Let me know how it goes. Thank you for watching

[@jazzbeats8168]

super detailed thank you!

[@jergervasi3331]

Thank you for your terrific videos!

My only issue is I have 4 smaller (narrower) units instead of 2 larger units. I had to tap both my upper and lower brackets on with a rubber mallet and they cut slightly into the wood. It could be that the bracket middle three openings need to be a bit wider to accommodate differences between the two assemblies. I did notice a hairline gap at the top of one unit that could have caused this in one side but not both sides. Anyhow your instructions are highly detailed and appreciated…especially the closeups.

Super supported vids. Thanx!!!

[@mariepatrick1219]

I have secured the bottom rail with no problems, however, I can't get the top rail on at all. It does not push in far enough to line up with the screw holes amd I cannot bang it in like you have shown in the video.

[@ellenmorgan5555]

@mariepatrick1219 We are having the same issue! Did you ever find a solution!?

[@kkrrus7983]

I have the same problem

[@kkrrus7983]

I cut the metal of in the part it was stuck with a knife took me like 5 hours

[@martinellimunshi2622]

Omd, I am having the same issue, its so frustrating!!

[@williamgurney4226]

At the end of the video the upright pieces are in place but you dont cover that in this video?

[@ellenmorgan5555]

We are trying to build this at the moment but our top rail does not align in the middle. We have a very minute lip at the top for some reason and cannot get the top rail on now matter what we are trying! Any suggestions before we try and sand it down and ruin the wardrobe?!

[@paulbetts4684]

Hi, did you sort this issue? Having the same problem

[@seventhsense34]

Hello, I would be glad if you answer my question, that's so important for me. I have 3.10 meters ceiling, so I want to buy a pax wardrobe with 236 cm length. However, there is a natural gas pipe passing over the wall. So, I only have 234 cm. Because of 2 cm, what should I do? Can I cut down the bottom of the wardrobe, can I open the sliding doors, then? Or should I cut down the back of the wardrobe and insert the pipes into the wardrobe?

[@PPFlatPack]

Hard to say can't see how the pipe is going. If you have older Ikea Pax Wardrobe (previous model) than yes 2cm is fine to cut from the bottom (doit only if you know what you doing) here is it how is done kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5m6qpWIeseXfJY If you have the new one I don't know there is the new bottom rail never did with that one.

[@seventhsense34]

​@@PPFlatPack Thank you so much for your reply.

[@Pathfinder_tua]

Do I need the drill bit that u use at 7:47 mins? Or are the holes already there?

[@tatjanad7670]

I did all as explained but bottom of sliding doors cannot click it's too short. I don't know how this is possible.

[@jazzbeats8168]

the top rail won't fit into the frame panels its too thick....

[@paulbetts4684]

I’m having the same issue!

[@aminbham1318]

I had the same issue.. Then realised the door has a wheel and a little plastic clip under the wheel.. The clip goes under the rail and the wheel on top - i hooked the door on with the clip in the rail which raised it too high. 😅 Hopefully your issue wasn't more serious than mine

[@jazzbeats8168]

@@paulbetts4684 yeh I think it’s manufacturing issue where it just too tight , use a stop block like timber strip . Hold it flat against the rails and use a hammer to just jam it in.

[@jazzbeats8168]

@@aminbham1318 think we are referring to different issue

[@MuhammadShafiKhan-g5q]

sir where u put the hole u donot show in camera we are confused

[@EvanWork-u8n]

Does anyone know the size of a single panel used for the 78 3/4x79 1/8" Sized PAX, which will use the 39 3/8x79 1/8" panels? I just need the size of one panel not all 4

[@pantje]

Does the wood color of malmbed go together with the wood color of the pax cabinet? You're an expert, I'd like to hear it...

[@PPFlatPack]

Sorry not sure if these two colours are identical if im you I would go to ikea before buy and check sometime there is different shades to the final finish even they look similar. If they different I would go with white. Consider colour of the walls carpet or flour colour and colour of existing furniture, size of the room etc.

[@boredomreliever3850]

Are these all predrilled holes? Can I use a screwdriver or do I need a drill? Other than attaching the wardrobe frames to each other

[@PPFlatPack]

All holes are predrilled apart for the holes for joining screws. You can use manual screwdriver if you want to work hard ;)

[@mariyamaltaf2654]

How we can istall soft close in these new model?

[@PPFlatPack]

Soft closing in the new model is already installed in the bottom rail

[@mlcarv]

IKEA screws are so bad. Do you ever replace them with better quality screws or is it just user error?

[@PPFlatPack]

I think Ikea screws are fine never have problem with then so far

[@deluxdg]

No mention of drill bit size

[@jiggely_spears]

Hi - are these two 100cm frames or 75s?

[@PPFlatPack]

75cm

[@petersellers7155]

Your edit seems to have missed a huge part of the assembly, you put the rails on top and bottom then next segment there are the metal sides on too but no idea how you attached them? Please tell me as I need this part thanks

[@chrisstaub5880]

Those will probably be covered in the Part 3 video.

[@PPFlatPack]

I usually do the side covering panels after I do the doors and you can see it in the Part:3 (coming this Saturday 8am)
