Hello everyone, I have a question about the Ikea Pax wardrobe systems: Are there Pax doors that feature both a mirror and a soft-close function? It is important to me that the doors not only look good but also close quietly and smoothly. So far, I have only found doors with mirrors that do not have soft-close or soft-close doors without mirrors. Does anyone have experience with this or know if such a combination is actually available at Ikea? Thanks for your input!
A more detailed explanation:
- Ikea Pax doors with mirrors are usually made as standard hinged doors with mirror glass. The increased weight makes a soft-close function more difficult and expensive to implement.
- Soft-close hinges are optimized for normal, lighter doors.
- However, it is possible to retrofit the soft-close system by using suitable hinges from third-party suppliers.
- When retrofitting, the following steps should be considered:
- Check the weight capacity of the hinges
- Ensure precise positioning of mounting points
- Handle the mirror bonding with care
My recommendation: For greater flexibility, it is better to choose a standard soft-close door and add a separate standing or wall mirror, as Ikea does not offer a combined solution here.

Mirror doors have a heavier surface, which requires stronger hinges. Ikea does not currently offer this as a package, but you might be able to replace the hinges. However, I recommend checking the exact dimensions and weights carefully, as the mirror door could be damaged otherwise. Also, be sure to consider the warranty conditions when making modifications.

If soft-close functionality is very important, you might need to consider custom solutions or a combination of glass doors with soft-close hinges and a separate mirror installed elsewhere.
