Hello everyone, I am planning to secure my new Ikea Pax wardrobe to the wall to ensure maximum stability and safety, especially since I have children at home. My specific question is: How can Ikea Pax wardrobes be mounted securely and professionally to the wall to prevent tipping?
I understand that Ikea requires wall fixing, but is the supplied bracket sufficient? Which plugs and screws are best suited for different wall types (concrete, drywall, brick)? What important precautions should be taken to avoid accidents?
Additionally, I am curious if there are differences when mounting individual units versus assembled wardrobe sections. I have already done some research but would greatly appreciate tips from experienced users here. Thanks in advance!

Hey Runekla! 🙂
Great topic and very important! I also really like how so many practical tips are coming together here. For me, preparation is key: checking the wall type, having screws and wall plugs ready, and organizing the team.
Safety is the top priority! One more tip: use a drill with a depth stop for the installation, so the screws don’t go in too deep. This way, the wall plugs and the wall itself stay intact.
Being careful with safety = better building! Good luck, and let us know if you have any feedback from the installation!

Also – if it makes you feel better – I applied silicone sealant all around the wall angles of my Pax wardrobe to absorb minor movements. It looks unusual but adds stability, especially when the floor isn’t completely level.
