ᐅ Ikea Pax sliding doors do not open fully.

Hello everyone,

I took over a built-in Pax wardrobe with two sliding doors from the previous tenant and have now obtained 3 Komplement wire mesh baskets with pull-out rails for it. However, before installing the baskets, I noticed that they cannot be pulled out because the sliding doors do not open fully.

Is there anything that can be done about this? I thought the Komplement fittings were specifically designed to fit the Pax wardrobes.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello, you first need to investigate the cause of why the doors do not fully open.

There are stoppers at the top of the track.
To me, it looks intentional – but it prevents drawers or baskets from being pulled out.
So my question is whether this is meant to be like that...

I don’t recognize it and can’t assign it to any position. The section is too small. How old is the PAX?

Unfortunately, I don’t know the exact age of the cabinet. I was told it is around 2-3 years old.

What I referred to as the "stoppers" are the three bumps on the inside of the left sliding door, shown in this photo. The last one (the front one here) possibly stops the right, inner door. I’m not entirely sure about this, but the door does stop exactly at that point.

These are just recesses that give the fitting increased stability. However, there are also recesses on the other side of the door. If it actually collides with the rear door, then compare the fitting with the one on the right side of the door to check if it is bent.
