Hello everyone,
with my Pax wardrobe, the door (Vidal mirror door) does not close evenly. I’ve attached a photo.

Bright interior corner with white wall and small wooden cabinet on the left.


The issue only occurs on the side opposite the hinges and only in the upper area. There, the door sticks out about 0.5 cm (0.2 inches). On the hinge side, the door fits evenly all around. I’ve already tried adjusting the hinges to fix the problem, but unfortunately, that didn’t help (maybe I wasn’t doing it correctly).

Does anyone have any advice for me? I would really appreciate your feedback.

Have a nice evening.

Hello, have you first checked whether the door itself is warped?

No, I haven’t done that. What is the best way to proceed? Do I need to remove the door for this?

I would stretch a string along the edges of the door on both the inside and outside. If it is warped, the string will not lie evenly.

Okay, I will do that first. Thank you very much for the tip.

Ok,
I have now tried using the straightedge. It lies flat. So the door is probably not warped.
Does anyone have an idea what might be causing this or how I should proceed?
