Hello everyone, I am currently facing the task of installing sliding doors on an Ikea Pax wardrobe and could use some support. Although the Ikea instructions are included, I find them somewhat insufficient in certain areas, especially regarding the precise attachment of the running rails and how to best adjust the doors so they close cleanly and flush.
Could someone please explain in detail how to properly install the sliding doors, what to pay attention to, and if there are any specific tips or tools that make the installation and adjustment easier and more precise? What is a sensible order of steps, and are there common mistakes I should avoid?
I would appreciate as detailed guidance as possible, as I want to do this properly.

Make sure not to overtighten the screws on the adjustment wheels.Thank you, that was my concern as well. I tightened the screws very firmly on the first attempt, but after reading your comments, I loosened them a bit, and now it runs much more smoothly. The balance between grip and mobility is really important.
The overall result looks much cleaner now, and I'm glad I read your advice.
