ᐅ Which Ikea PAX doors are available with built-in mirrored surfaces?

Hello everyone,

I am planning to get a new Ikea PAX system and want to focus specifically on which doors come with built-in mirror surfaces. There are various door options for PAX—some mirrored, some with other finishes—and I would like to know exactly which models or door series originally come equipped with mirrors.

I am particularly interested in:
- Which PAX doors currently come standard with mirrors?
- Are there different mirror effects or sizes available for these doors?
- Are these doors available as complete sets with mirrors, or does the mirror need to be installed separately?

It is also important for me to know whether these doors can be easily combined with the usual PAX carcasses and if there are any notes regarding stability or installation.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Regarding the question about Ikea PAX doors with built-in mirror surfaces:

Ikea offers several doors that come with integrated mirrors as standard. These include mainly the "Mirror" models in the PAX series, such as:

- PAX mirror door with white frame (frame width approx. 5cm (2 inches))
- PAX mirror door with black frame

These doors come fully assembled with the mirror surface as part of the door, so there is no need to attach a separate mirror.

There are also frameless mirror doors available as special models, but these are rather rare and not regularly available in all Ikea stores.

The system is designed so that these doors are compatible with all common PAX carcasses but require the corresponding hinges, which Ikea also supplies. Installation can be somewhat more complex, as the doors are heavier than simple wood doors.

In summary:
- Standard PAX mirror doors with frames (white/black) are available
- Doors come complete with mirror as part of the door
- Compatible with all PAX carcasses
- Installation and stability are good but somewhat more demanding compared to simple doors

If specific models or dimensions are needed, I can provide additional information.

Thank you for the detailed overview. I just want to mention that I have personally used a PAX mirrored door with a white frame for a long time. The size and reflective glass are ideal for visually enlarging rooms.

I initially had concerns about whether the doors would remain stable due to their weight, but with the official Ikea hinges, there are no issues.

What I personally liked is that the mirrored door offers an all-in-one solution, so you don’t need to install an additional mirror on the wall, which saves a lot of space, especially in tight rooms.

So far, I haven’t encountered any significant scratches or other problems with the mirror surface, despite frequent use.

PAX mirror doors usually come with white or black frames. Frameless versions are rare. Compatible with all PAX trims. Mirrors are built-in, no additional installation required.

For anyone planning to buy a PAX mirrored door, I recommend keeping the following points in mind:

1. Check the dimensions carefully, as PAX doors are commonly available in widths of 50 cm (20 inches) and 75 cm (30 inches).
2. Make sure whether a particleboard backing is integrated behind the mirror, as this greatly increases stability.
3. Keep in mind that the doors are heavier due to the mirror, so using the supplied or suitable strong hinges is essential.
4. When assembling, always double-check the door’s anchoring to prevent it from hanging unevenly.

In the IKEA catalogue or online shop, it is usually clearly stated for mirrored doors that the mirror surface is fixed in place. This means no retrofitting is necessary.

In short: If you want a mirrored door, choose a "PAX mirrored door white" or "PAX mirrored door black" and pay attention to the dimensions and hinges.

Just as an additional note: There are also PAX sliding doors with mirrors available for anyone looking for a sliding door solution. These are equipped with mirrored panels and come as a complete unit.
