Hello,

I am about to install doors, normal doors on a Pax carcass. The hinge instructions basically say "..first click both elements together, then attach to the door, and finally mount to the interior wall". Until now, I assumed that you attach one part to the door, the other to the interior wall, and then hang the door.

I have two left hands and an unwilling assembly helper, therefore the question which method is better.

The hinges are called "Complete 130 Degree".

Thanks and have a nice Sunday

Hello, the method described in the instructions is probably the easier one for two left hands. If the door is not held completely straight, which is not so easy given the size, the snapping in will not work. If you want to do it anyway, start with the upper hinge and then continue downwards. If possible, kick the unwilling helper in the [Allerwertesten].

Thank you

I have looked at the parts, will assemble them first and then insert them into the body, seems to "slide" at first, a set of books or my foot under the door... plus a now motivated helper, that will work. I hope so.
