What should I keep in mind when adjusting the doors on my PAX wardrobe?

When installing doors on your PAX wardrobe, it is important to take the ceiling height and hinge placement into account.

Sliding doors
The sliding door rails are mounted on the top of the wardrobe. To install them, you will need a minimum ceiling height of 240 cm for a 236 cm frame, and a minimum height of 205 cm for a 201 cm frame.
Hinged doors
When installing hinged doors, it is important to ensure that the hinges are positioned at the correct height. 
The easiest way to do this is to attach the hinges to the doors first and then mount the doors onto the wardrobe.
Would you like to add drawers to your PAX wardrobe? No problem! Just remember that drawers cannot be installed at the same level where a hinge is mounted.
The hinges are not aligned from left to right on a 201 cm PAX wardrobe
On 201 cm high frames, the right door hinge is positioned one level higher than the left door hinge. 
This is because a left door is actually a right door mounted upside down. As a result, the centre hinge sits slightly above the centre on one side and slightly below it on the other.
The IKEA online planner already takes this into account when positioning the interior fittings.
