Dear Ikea fans,
In my search for information, I came across this forum and thought I’d try my question here.

For my new apartment, I bought two Pax systems (2.36 m). All the carcasses are already standing, the interior parts are still lying next to them, and I’ll get the doors during the next week. However, I would like to install the interior already.

Now to my question:
I assume that the doors require certain holes in the frame to be attached. However, I haven’t found anywhere which exactly are needed for this. Specifically, it’s about the doors Fardal on one frame and Vikedal on the other. Can someone tell me which holes I need to leave open in the frames?

And one more beginner question (first own apartment and first furniture I assemble on my own):
Is this the correct order: "assemble carcasses -> connect them with each other -> level them -> secure to the wall -> interior -> doors"?

Thanks in advance

Hello, you can use the zoom function to look at the pictures (and hope that they are correct:




My assembly sequence would be:
Assemble the carcasses -> level them -> connect them -> level them -> wall securing -> level them -> interior -> doors
If the sides only stand on the floor at one point and otherwise on the height-adjustable feet, the sides should be underpinned, otherwise the PAX floor tends to break out (especially with individual carcasses that are not fixed to the wall).

First of all, thank you very much for the idea with the products on the website. I only searched for the doors themselves, where unfortunately the information was not included. I had not thought of pre-configured combinations. You keep coming back to the same places, so I hope they are the right ones. I will find out tomorrow. If I don't add anything else, you can assume it was correct.

And also thank you very much for the assembly sequence. Using the spirit level would probably have been a serious understatement, which would probably have been noticeable with a 4-meter box.
