Hello everyone,

I assembled a Pax wardrobe with AULI/Färvik doors this weekend.

2 * Pax carcasses 100 x 58 x 236 cm (39 x 23 x 93 inches)
1 * Auli/Färvik sliding door pair 200 x 236 cm (79 x 93 inches)
2 * Komplement drawers 100 x 58 cm (39 x 23 inches)
2 * Komplement snap fittings
1 * Komplement drawer with glass front 100 x 58 cm (39 x 23 inches)

Overall, everything went quite well. The doors are installed (the mirrored door on the front left side, the frosted glass door on the rear right side). However, when I inserted the first drawer at the bottom left, I realized it cannot be pulled out. It hits the front sliding door. See this picture as well:

What did I do wrong?

If it matters: I haven’t installed the rails on the right and left yet.

The drawer hits the front sliding door. This, in turn, hits the rear/inner sliding door.

First, you need to determine what the front door is hitting against on the rear side. Before fixing the issue, you should analyze the problem.

The front door hits the guide/metal bracket at the top against the back door (see photo, unfortunately rotated 90°).

The back door can be slid to the right until it ends about 0.5 meter (1.6 feet) from the outer edge of the exterior wall. (see photo, unfortunately rotated 90°)

This is approximately the amount by which the front door does not open far enough to allow the drawer to be opened.

Now we are getting closer to the point. The back door needs to be moved further to the right. The question now is, what is preventing this? Could it be that it doesn’t fit into Part 123078 at the top?

Yes, the corresponding "nipple" is located directly in front of the plastic nozzle you mentioned (see photo).

Now this is getting really strange. In the picture, the door aligns perfectly with the frame, unlike in the other one. Or is it just at the bottom because everything is crooked?
