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.

Then the issue can only be with the cabinet carcass. Either it was not assembled completely square or it was not precisely aligned. Even if everything initially seemed perfectly level, the cabinet might have warped when attached to the wall and the screws were tightened after alignment.
The next step would be to check the levels in all directions using an accurate spirit level. If everything is fine, you can try gently pressing and pulling to see if the fit improves.
When adjusting the hinges, of course, you should not make changes to only one hinge.

Thanks again for the help. Filling the cabinet has made the gap slightly narrower. I will leave it as it is for now and try once more to see if I can fix the rest by adjusting the hinges.
