This should be an official IKEA instructional video, an essential tool in place of the ridiculously inadequate diagrams in the flat pack. We took at least three serious wrong turns as a result of trying to follow the diagrams, wasting hours as a result. Everything became clear when watching this. Thank you.
My mom and I built an entire ikea pax wardrobe with sliding doors in one day thanks to your tutorials! Love your demonstration and explaining. Thank you very much sir!
I can not thank you enough because yesterday (before finding your video) I was rather down when discovering the mounting instructions... It looked like I was not going to ba able to make it. And here we are, a day after, and everything is fine! Many thanks again.
Thank you so much! Just assembled a sliding door double PAX wardrobe so easily following your 3 videos. Absolutely no way could I have done it without them. The ikea paper instructions are useless. So happy I found your videos otherwise I would have had a meltdown at step one. A very appreciated video.. massive thank you 😅
Many thanks for this instructions video and the pax building one before. Made putting 2 connected PAX wardrobes easy. Best video for this on you tube...Happy days
I would like to say thousand thank you to you. I assembled by myself , however make me a hole day and I can’t finish, and I got a lot trouble . I ready to give up , Finally I search UA-cam in a very sadness mood , I saw your clip . U save me , and make my day , I follow you step by step , I can make it 😍😍😍I was so excited, I finished tonight . I am single mum and not much money to find a handy man to do assembly, u help me to solve my problem . Let me say once again , thank you very much . Thousands Thanks . Blessings you all the best , you are so kindness to sharing this very important skills to everyone
I've managed to assemble this wardrobe all by myself with your fantastic detailed videos (okay it took me over a month to complete because I was so anxious about making a mistake -- but I'm very glad I had your help) THANK YOU
Thanks a lot for the tutorial. This new sliding door design is so much easier to assemble and install than the old one, which requires hanging heavy doors on to the frame. Took one and a half day to assemble a 200cm wardrobe all by myself.
Thank you for this. We got completely stumped at the point where you start to insert the panels - There was a "3x" instruction showing parts we couldn't find in the box. The instructions do not show that you pull the existing frames apart for this - I'd never have realised without your guide. Great video !!
Thank you very very much. This video makes it far more easier than the rubbish instructions IKEA give. They need to give you a job and pay you to make these easy to follow videos for them. Thanks again.
I would hope IKEA, being a billon dollar company; is sending some money your way. The instructions that come with this kit are almost useless. Your video was excellent and step by step instructions along with your thoughtful narration is what IKEA should be doing. Thank you very much.
Great video, I would not have been able to built the sliding door without it. So far I built a both from Ikea, even the one with hinge door just from the paper manual, but this one was impossible. Great stuff, thank you for the great camera work and pointing out subtle details!
Thank you, that really helped me a lot, i was stuck and the instruction from ikea didn‘t help at all! Your video should be a qr-code on the instruction! Continue this good work! 😊
Thanks for the video. Really helpful. However, there's a step at the end to add a rubber brush the hight of one panel. The instructions arent clear and it wasnt covered in the video. Can anyone explain where it goes. There were two full length rubber pieces and one full length strip of brush in my package.
Great video, I often cut down PAX units for perfect fits, next job I will be using sliding doors, bit more work in cutting these down, but I think it’s possible.
It is possible. Here is how it is done with previous model of IKEA PAX sliding doors. You may need slightly adjust the cutting (bottom and top hinges and rails are different on the latest model. Good luck. Thank you for watching
@@PPFlatPack Hi we did this - had to cut one of the internal units down by 10cm. Unfortunately that meant one side of the bottom track lost the slow closing mechanism which is on the frame now for new sliding door style (not like the separate slow closer on the old style pax sliding door systems0. Any recommendations on how i can add a soft closer to this new style? Thanks
Hey man thanks for these awesome videos! What about the ending panels for the new Hasvik plain white doors? There are not two pieces but three : one on each extremity of the wardrobe and one that has to be installed on one of the door. I just don't understand on which one. The manual isn't very clear on that..
Amazing videos and instructions all the way through. My only question or concern is, in my case, I’m putting four wardrobe’s together and I am not sure if I should install the last two silver rails that go on the side (larger one for outer door on the left, shorter one for inner door on the right). I may just install the two smaller inner door ones at the two ends of the four wardrobe’s.
Thanks so much, mate. This video is brilliant. I would like to ask you i ve got same wardrobe. My outer door(left) is mirror and inner door is dark glass. Can i just swap them without any problem? I want mirror door(outer door)to be on the right. I am looking forward to hearing from you please
You can arrange the doors the way you like just switch hinges (depending where you want to have outer door and inner door). There is no restrictions regarding where the glass, mirror or wooden goes. All the best. Thank you for watching
Thank you! I threw away the stickers indicating where the top and bottom parts were before I started assembling the wardrobe. This video helped me. However, the soft closing mechanism is quite tight, you have to push the door with force to open it. Is there any way to change this?
The soft closing is not adjustable regarding tension maybe over time it will get easier to open. Good idea maybe somthing ikea can improve to add some mechanism to manually adjust the tension in the soft closing
I done it with ur helo thank you immensely. Only problem im having are the clips on the side and top. Soo stiff, opened them eventually but closing them now is even more hard. Done one side but cant clip in the other side. Any tips ?
Thanks for these terrific videos! I have a question. At 16:50 you install the metal side panels to both ends of the wardrobe. My Pax will be visible on one side as you walk into a mud room. I plan to add a custom seating bench that will abut the wardrobe, but want to add an Ikea Forbratta cover panel to that exposed side of the unit you'll see to match other Ikea cabinets in the space. Would attaching the Ikea Forbattra cover panel interfere with the metal frame you attach to the side of the unit? Do I need to install those two metal side panels? I'm not sure if they are for aesthetics or serve a specific function. Thanks.
Hi , I’ve built nearly all my furniture with your videos thank you so much! I was wondering if you have installed the new hasvik sliding doors? They have given me an old Manual 😢not sure what to with a long rubber piece! Thanks x
03:10 is a typical Ikea moment in perfect capture. They sell a Wardrobe for 800+€ and still dare to save some cents on the damn screws. I cant believe they dont know, but i think they got a special department for planned obsolescence and another for making the weird graphics in the Manuals that show a lot but not clearly whats supposed to be shown. Thanks for the Vid!
Very helpful information, if l want to pick similar height wardrobe for 236cm, but the room is 238cm, us there any chances l can do it? On Ikea’s website they mention the room should be at least 245cm. Are there any tricks to install it at 236 cm height?
Hello, I was wondering if on the half door half mirror version, that the mirror can be on the right side and plain door on the left? Or are the doors designed so that the mirror (outer door) will only work if it is on the right side?
Do you have the panel sizes you used of the inserts? I have the sliding door of size 78 3/4x79 1/8 " but I want to get custom inserts made so I just need the L x W dimension of 1 panel. Thanks!
Hi, thank you for the amazing video. However I’m still have trouble with the door not closing properly. I am pretty sure i follow your method properly with the adjustments behind the doors. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong
Hard to say could be so many things ( floors not in level, wardrobe frames not in 90 degree…) if you we talking gap up or down sometimes easiest fix is to put something small under the wardrobe depending where the gap is. Sorry hard to explain if I can’t see it.
Great and helpful videos. About to purchase a new PAX wardrobe. I noticed that in the video you are building a newer version of the PAX or sliding door. To me it looks like they made some changes that make it harder to mess something up during construction. Especially with the sliding rails. I was wondering what you think about the old vs new PAX?
For some reason in my case the horizontal metal pieces that should clip inside the frame didn’t clip both sides, as if the frame was larger than it should be:/ any insight? Not sure if disassembling and reassembling would solve the issue
Thank you for this video. I have issue with inner door with this mechanism - it is sliding really hard, I need to use big force to move it. Outer door is moving smooth. Somebody got this issue? It looks like it's assembled in the right way. Inner door are with mirror panels, so it's pretty heavy.
This should be an official IKEA instructional video, an essential tool in place of the ridiculously inadequate diagrams in the flat pack. We took at least three serious wrong turns as a result of trying to follow the diagrams, wasting hours as a result. Everything became clear when watching this. Thank you.

Spot on !
Wow! I had been struggling for hours using the paper instructions IKEA provided. This made it so so so easy. Thank you!!!
Everything you said and did was very clear and made building this wardrobe so easy. Thank you so much 🎉
I was saying the same thing. Each furniture should have a we code that leads you to a step by step video
Watched your tutorials on both the old and the new sliding door designs. Extremely helpful, thanks!

An IKEA employee showed me this video to explain what he nor the instructions could not explain 😅
Keep up the good videos 🎉
Would be easier if they put them in ikea website. ;)
Outstanding, Thank you!
Thank you! I was helping my brother build this and we wouldn’t have realized the sides pop open to put the panels in 😅 excellent video!!!

@PP FlatPack Do you need to attach the ending panels if you have another frame to the side that needs to be joined? Can it even be done?
Wery useful video :)
Thx huge help !
The frames are extremely hard to open on mine, like my fingers about to get ripped the top one still won’t open
Un grand MERCI !
