Hello, we have – finally – assembled our Pax closet (250cm x 236cm (98 inches x 93 inches)) and are ultimately very happy with it. The only small issue: on the right side, the sliding door does not close perfectly flush with the metal track. Who else has experienced this problem and has any advice? What could we have done wrong?

Thanks for your help!

We had the same problem.
If the door is not aligned properly, you can’t pull out the drawers and wire baskets without scraping against the door.

You need to adjust the door. The assembly instructions explain how to do this on the last page.
The upper door sliders are attached with three screws; loosen these (don’t unscrew them completely) and then use the supplied Allen key (which is poor quality, so use another one of the same size) to turn the middle part of the door slider until the door is straight. You need to do this on both door hinges.
It takes a bit of time, but it works.
Best regards, Monster
