Hello everyone,
I am currently considering using an Ikea PAX wardrobe system but am unsure whether it can be easily combined with real wood cabinet doors. Specifically, I am not referring to the original PAX doors from Ikea, but rather custom-made wooden doors or doors from a hardware store that I would like to use.
My questions are:
- Are these types of doors compatible with the PAX carcasses’ mounting system?
- Is modification often necessary, for example with hinges or door frames?
- Are there any issues regarding stability and durability?
I want to be as certain as possible whether such a combination is feasible and practical without complicated adjustments or ending up unable to assemble it.
I look forward to your experiences and advice!

Thank you very much for your numerous and very helpful responses!
I think I will work with 19 mm (3/4 inch) plywood panels and have them properly sealed. I will have the drillings done precisely in a workshop.
If I have any further questions about fastening or the hinge, I will get back to you here.
It's good to know that the idea is basically feasible and that I am not completely facing a problem.
Thanks again!
