The base of the Pax carcass is about 7 cm high. In the past, I have already shortened several PAX cabinets at the base by 3-4 cm because the room height was a few cm too low. However, those had normal doors, whereas the 7 cm base can almost be completely shortened.

Now I want to purchase a PAX with sliding doors, but the room height is once again only 2.32 m, and I would like to install the 236 cm PAX. How far do the sliding doors extend down in front of the base, or how much distance is there from the bottom edge of the sliding door to the floor? Can someone send me a detailed photo of the base area with the sliding door mounted and partially slid open? Ideally with a tape measure applied.

Thank you very much.

Best regards Mario

Since almost everyone here only comes with a request once, you best write a PM to a PAX owner, hoping that the email notification is enabled.

I just measured quickly. In my opinion, you could cut a maximum of 3.5cm away from the base to be sure you have enough space - provided everything is level and the floor covering is smooth (no high-pile carpet). At almost exactly 3.8cm, the lower fitting of the outer sliding door begins. This could possibly still be installed slightly pushed upwards (might gain about 1mm). However, this might mean sanding the lower aluminum track.

The data is based on my setup and comes without guarantee.

Regards
