Assembly IKEA PAX corner wardrobe, VIKEDAL soft-closing hinges

Hello,
I am really desperate. I planned and bought the PAX corner cabinet with Vikedal mirror door and soft-closing hinges using the Pax planner. But I just can't mount the door.

First of all, I'm confused about the hinges. According to the planner, I need these:



and I have exactly bought these. The article number 00214505 matches on the packaging, but: They look completely different from those shown on the page above.

What does that mean? Are the wrong hinges in the packaging? Or is the picture on the Ikea website incorrect/outdated?

I tried with the extra purchased hinges (so not the ones supplied with the corner cabinet). That doesn't work. First, the door doesn’t close softly by itself when you close it, and if you push it to the edge, it opens a little again. That can’t be right.

I would appreciate quick help.

Hello,
the hinges made by Blum (Austria) are still on the website. You have the ones from Lama (Slovenia). They would also fit if it weren't a corner cabinet. Hinges are supplied with the corner cabinet carcass and are also shown in the assembly instructions. You must have another bag with hinges lying around somewhere.

Hello IKEA expert, thank you very much for your answer. Yes, the corner cabinet even came with three bags each containing three hinges. Exactly for three doors, since a corner cabinet rarely comes alone. These also fit (I have tried). But: as I already wrote in my original post, I want the soft-closing hinges. Why don’t these fit in the corner cabinet? In the PAX planner, this apparently was not a contradiction. Well, as with software, this can of course be a bug. But I don’t know. Is it simply not possible to have soft-closing hinges with the corner cabinet? Ricardo

There is no damping for the corner cabinet from IKEA. Together with the push door opener, it also does not make sense. If the hinges are still from Blum, there are dampers available in the hardware trade.

Hi IKEA expert,

IKEA does not offer any damping for the corner cabinet. Together with the push-to-open mechanism, it also does not make sense.
If the hinges are still from Blum, there are dampers available from the fitting trade.

What is the push-to-open mechanism? Is it supposed to be included?

There is probably always something wrong with the planner. At least you can return the hinges with the receipt unlimitedly.
