What should I consider when installing a PAX wardrobe?
For safe use, there are some important points to consider about assembly, securing it to the wall, and placement.
- Assembly and lifting the frame must be carried out by at least two adults.
- The frame can be assembled either vertically or horizontally, but we recommend assembling it while it's lying down, attaching the back panel, and then lifting it upright.
- To prevent the frame from tipping over, it must be secured to a wall. Be sure to choose a solid section of your wall and use screws that are appropriate for your wall material (wall-fixing screws are not included).
- Holes for handles and knobs are not pre-drilled, so you will need an electric drill to make them.
- The unit must be placed on a level and stable floor. Avoid using it on an unstable surface.
