ᐅ Will the large Ikea Pax wardrobe with sliding doors fit in my room?

Hello dear IKEA fans,

I hope you can help me here, as I haven’t been able to get any assistance from the hotline.

I want to buy a Pax sliding door wardrobe, the model with a height of 236 cm (7 ft 9 in).

According to the assembly instructions, the room should be 240 cm (7 ft 10 in) or taller.

Unfortunately, at the lowest point I only have 238.5 cm (7 ft 10 in) and at the highest just under 240 cm (7 ft 10 in).

The carcass can also be assembled standing up, so in that regard it should be possible. But will the sliding doors still be able to be hung then?? 😕 😕 That’s my big problem!!!!

Thank you very much for your help!

I don’t think the doors can still be hung in that case.

Yes, with two people it can be done easily.

Hi, well, it works with "standard" doors, and it looks really stylish when there is just a small gap to the ceiling. However, I’m not familiar with sliding doors..

Hi, the problem really is just the sliding doors, as you need 240 cm (94 inches) for them. The door tracks are mounted on the top and bottom of the cabinet, which takes up about 2 cm (1 inch). This makes hanging the sliding doors tricky because you have to hang them slightly angled from above. Ikea has a lot of nice hinged doors with over 80 different handles! Unfortunately, sliding doors won't work for your setup.

Best regards

Hello everyone!

First of all, thank you very much for your responses.

I just thought of something else!

Is it possible to slide the sliding doors in from the side instead of hanging them from the top when the cabinet is already assembled? I am assuming that the end stops on the left and right for the sliding doors can be removed.

Could this possibly be a solution?????
