Hello, I am new here and have already used the search function but found nothing. Our room is 280 cm wide and we want to use the entire width and use sliding doors. With the Pax wardrobe system, you could theoretically make a width of 275 cm, e.g. 75 cm 75 cm 75 cm 50 cm. I think that should not be a problem. However, I am not quite sure about the sliding doors. There are sliding doors for widths of 250 cm and 300 cm, but not for 275 cm. Has anyone done this before? Can you simply take the sliding doors for 300 cm width and shorten the rails? The doors would then overlap by 25 cm, the second cabinet from the left in the example above would then not be able to open completely, as long as you don’t use drawers there, that would be okay, right? I am grateful for any tips. Oh, by the way, I am skilled in craftsmanship, any modifications or similar are not a problem for me. Thanks for your tips...

Hello,

you should avoid the sliding door variant or take 250cm. Shortening is, in my opinion, not possible. With a cut you always have a "weak" edge. The doors are supposed to roll over it and due to the weight they would ruin your construction. And how should the cut you make hold? With screws or similar? Then the doors wouldn't move at all anymore, how are they supposed to get over a screw head? You are surely aware that these changes will also void your warranties.

Sorry, but unfortunately not possible.

Na.

Hello, I have a very similar problem. We have 3 1m cabinets and want to equip them with three sliding doors. (2x 1.50m unfortunately doesn't work here). The idea is to buy 2 pairs of sliding doors - immediately ban one to the balcony - and to halve one of the rails. Has anyone done this already or can someone clearly explain to me why that shouldn't work?
