Hello everyone,
we have just assembled a Pax cabinet (4 carcasses each 50 cm, 2.36 cm high) and carefully leveled it on our extremely uneven old building floor. According to the spirit level, the cabinet is only slightly tilted backward – but no more than with our first Pax, whose doors roll perfectly.
Now there are two problems with the Hasvik doors:
1. The front door runs very smoothly, but the lower right corner is 1.5 cm closer to the bottom base than the left corner. In the left-right direction (x-axis), however, the door hangs straight. This causes the problem that the door runs at a slant in the lower guides and the lower right corner presses against the door behind it.
--> So the front door seems to be warped. Does anyone have any advice on this?
2. The rear door runs very hard on the rollers – even when the other door is not mounted in front of it. It feels as if something is slowing it down. I have checked all possible causes but haven’t gotten any wiser. I even went to Ikea and replaced the track because I thought maybe it was a little bent. The rollers the door runs on seem to be fine. One rolls a little less easily than the other (if you flick it, it doesn’t continue to rotate). But can that alone be the reason?
P.S.: The Hasvik doors are assembled from two parts screwed together. At first I thought maybe they are slightly "bent" in the middle, but if you place a long straightedge on them while they hang, you can see that they are completely flat.
Does anyone have experience with these problems?
