IKEA Pax Sliding Doors: Alignment and Leveling Guide

IKEA Pax wardrobes are popular, but their sliding door systems require perfect carcass alignment to work correctly. If the wardrobe frame is even slightly out of plumb, the heavy sliding doors will roll on their own, stay open, or rub against the shelf edges.

We resolve this by leveling the base rails before assembling the frames, securing the units to the wall stud lines, and fine-tuning the height adjusters on the door carriage rollers. This keeps your sliding mirror doors running smoothly on their aluminum tracks.
