Hello dear experts, last week we planned, bought and (almost) assembled a beautiful Pax wardrobe. There is only a small problem, the planned drawers do not fit in the intended place. By that I mean not that the hinges of the door and the parts mounted inside the wardrobe need the same holes as the drawer. They are both mounted inside the wardrobe. (that "fits") When I try to place the drawer on the runner inside the wardrobe, I always get caught on the hinges. It seems to me that the hinges might be a bit too "thick". According to the Pax planner and the Ikea employee who helped with the wardrobe planning and even handwrote different parts for the drawers on our shopping list, it should actually fit. These are completely normal hinges (4 per door, not soft-closing or similar). Does anyone know this problem and can maybe give me a tip on what I am doing wrong? Many thanks for your help and best regards

Hi
Do you want to mount the drawers at the same height as the hinges?
That is not possible. They must be mounted above or below them. You also need to make sure that the hinges on the left door are possibly not at the same height as those on the right door.

Best regards

The same happened to me last week.

That is definitely a serious mistake.

The hinge of the door must not be attached along the entire height of the drawer.
In fact, no drawers can be installed in the lower area!

Regards.

For cabinets with doors, only this wire basket is possible as the bottom drawer or at the hinges. Perhaps the new pull-out shelves and shoe racks are also an alternative.

Best regards

Trick to make a drawer fit despite the hinges.

IKEA has offered to take back the fully assembled drawers because the drawers rub against the hinges.
How it still works:
1. Turn the one adjustment screw on the hinge all the way to the stop so that the hinge takes up as little space as possible. This shifts the door sideways by about 2mm.
2. File down the protruding adjustment screw. You can still turn it.
3. For certain drawers, I had to convert two drill holes into elongated holes to improve sliding (eliminate tension between guide rails). These are the drill holes where the drawer hooks into the guide rail.
Specifically on the hinge-free side, one in front, one in the back.
This also causes a small lateral shift of the drawer.

I had the same problem and routed a groove into the drawer.
