Hello everyone,
I’ve been a proud Pax owner for 2 days now, but I have a few questions about the assembly... hope you can help me out.

- I ordered and installed Ballstad doors with hinges. Now the drawers at mid-height don’t open properly! Did I do something wrong, or is it simply not possible to place drawers where the hinges are?

- Also, the Ballstad doors don’t have any markings or pre-drilled holes for handles. How am I supposed to install the Orrnäs handles? By the way, these only come with flush screws included.

Did I make a mistake when ordering?

Thanks!!

That’s not possible. The planner shows / showed this incorrectly. This issue is known at Ikea.
- furthermore, the Ballstad doors have no markings or pre-drilled holes for handles. How am I supposed to install the Orrnäs handles? By the way, those only come with blunt screws in the package?

Use a drill with a wood bit to drill suitable holes at the desired position. It’s best to use the FIXA drilling template for marking.
