Hello everyone,

I am looking for sources to obtain replacement parts for the Ikea Pax wardrobe. Specifically, I need individual sliding door rollers as well as various interior components such as drawer slides and clothes rail brackets. Does anyone know if these parts can be purchased outside of Ikea stores or their official customer service? I have heard that some parts might be available through third-party suppliers or specialized dealers, but I am not sure where exactly to look.

Do any of you have experience with where to find reliable, original, or at least compatible replacement parts? Information on prices and delivery times would also be helpful if anyone has some reference points.

Thanks in advance!

Spare parts for Pax are most reliably obtained directly from Ikea. Third-party suppliers often only offer parts that do not fit properly.

I always order replacement parts directly from Ikea. There are no issues with fit or compatibility.

As an addition: Some spare parts can also be bought used, for example through online marketplaces or flea markets. However, this is only worthwhile for standard parts.

That’s a good point. For quiet operation, I recommend closely checking the condition of the roller bearings. Often, cleaning them and applying an appropriate lubricant can help before considering part replacement.

I agree, especially if you want reliable maintenance in the long term.

Years ago, I bought a generic roller replacement that was cheaper, but after a short time the rollers wore out and the doors started sagging again. Original parts are definitely a better investment here.
