Hello everyone, I recently bought an Ikea Pax wardrobe and want to install the sliding doors. However, I find the instructions a bit brief, and there are some points that are not entirely clear to me. Are there any experienced users here who can share valuable tips or tricks for assembling the sliding doors on the Ikea Pax? I am particularly interested in advice on correctly aligning the tracks, what to watch out for when installing the rollers, and how to ensure the doors operate smoothly without sticking. Perhaps there are also common pitfalls to avoid or special tools that make the job easier? I look forward to a detailed and practical discussion!

If you want, I can also create a checklist for you with the exact assembly sequence. Sure, here is my suggestion for the assembly order of classic Ikea Pax sliding doors:
- Precisely align and install the rails on the top and bottom.
- Check if the cabinet is stable and perfectly vertical.
- Hang the door by its rollers on the top edge into the upper rail at about a 15-degree angle.
- Then carefully place the door into the bottom rail, making sure both rollers move smoothly.
- Slightly adjust the rollers so the door stands perfectly vertical and slides easily.
- Install the next door in the same way.
As for the order, I recommend installing first the door that has more room to move inside the cabinet, usually the right door, to have more space for aligning the second door. However, both options are possible if you work precisely.
Installing both doors one after the other has the advantage that you can align them perfectly parallel later. Did you already encounter any adjustment issues on your first attempt?
