Hello dear forum users

I hope you can help me.

I bought a used Pax wardrobe (2 m wide and 2.36 m high) and have spent the last 2 days assembling it. Except for the sliding doors, everything is now set up. Unfortunately, I’m having trouble with the installation of the sliding doors. Hopefully you can help me.

I already had problems with step 3 of the instructions.

Because these eight parts that need to be screwed on there are under quite a bit of tension for me, and it is almost impossible to press them on at the same time and then screw them in with the screwdriver. So far I have only attached 4 instead of 8. Maybe someone has a tip on how to make this easier?

But that is not the real problem. The main problem is the following: I insert the 1st sliding door. First the bottom and then the top with the little wheel into the first guide rail. So far so good. If I slide the door to the right, everything fits perfectly. If I slide it to the left, the wheel (top left) eventually falls off or no longer runs in the rail and jumps out. This causes the whole door to hang crookedly and I have to laboriously rehang it.

I don’t know what the cause could be. Hopefully you can help me. Here it looks as if a bomb exploded, because my clothes are lying all around. I’d really love to organize the wardrobe.

Best regards and thanks
Eulchen

So. Meanwhile, the 1st door has been rehung and now it no longer slips out of the track. The 2nd door is finally installed as well, but now there is the following problem: When both frames touch (where both doors are supposed to slide over each other), it doesn’t slide properly but grates, and I already have "grooves" in the aluminum frame. The doors then also don’t run properly anymore but scrape. When you close the wardrobe completely, so that the lower door (the one that is installed first) is on the left and the 2nd installed door is on the right, you can see that the door on the left hangs crooked. I’m still not really satisfied with it. What can I do? I would like to have the problem fixed as quickly as possible. Best regards, Eulchen PS: I cannot adjust the adjustment options inside at the top of the two doors that you can adjust using the enclosed Allen key. To do that, you have to loosen the surrounding screws and mine are seized. Nothing moves :( Do you have alternatives?

Hello Owlet

If the doors rub against each other, then you have probably installed them incorrectly.
In your case, the door that needs to run on the outside is mounted so that it runs on the inside.
I believe that with the Lax Lyndal, the door that runs on the outside has a more protruding edge on the left and right than the door that runs on the inside.
Probably intended so that it can be gripped better ... for closing and opening.
The door that is incorrectly installed on the outside in your case then rubs against this edge.
