Hello everyone, I am currently planning the assembly of my Pax sliding doors and want to approach it as organized and safely as possible. Since there are some who already have experience with this, I would like to know:

How does the assembly of Pax sliding doors generally work?

I am especially interested in the sequence of the individual assembly steps, which components should be installed first, and any special features or common pitfalls to watch out for to ensure proper function and secure fastening.

It would be great if someone could clearly outline the details, from preparation through the actual assembly to the adjustment of the doors. Thanks in advance!

How secure are the connections between the runner rails and the carcasses against twisting?

The standard fastenings are sufficiently stable when installed correctly. The rails are seated in pre-drilled guides in the carcass and fixed with appropriate screws. Additional measures are usually not necessary as long as the screws are tightened firmly but not over-tightened.

However, if the substrate or carcass is uneven, it is recommended to use washers or small wooden shims to compensate and prevent stresses and twisting.

This ensures long-lasting functionality without deformation.

One more tip for adjustment:
- After hanging the doors, you should adjust the screws on the rollers so that the door is level and runs smoothly in the tracks.
- The optimal alignment can be checked with a standard spirit level.
- Also, pay attention to the clearances on the right and left sides to prevent the doors from jamming.

This helps prevent premature wear and protects the mechanism.

Also make sure that the bottom track is installed correctly at the very base. It serves as a guide and prevents the doors from coming off the running track.

Exactly. Without the properly installed bottom track, the doors won’t run smoothly. Simply fix it at the very bottom so that nothing gets stuck.

Thank you very much for the detailed feedback!

One more specific question about the installation: can you give me tips on how to tell if the rollers are adjusted correctly when aligning the doors? Some areas sag slightly for me, but the doors basically run in the track.

Are there typical signs to watch for, such as unusual noises, wobbly movements, or visible gaps? And how can I correct these with simple methods?

I’m looking forward to your input!
