Oct 2, 2013 · You can mix PAX and BILLY and you can mix also 2 different Billy doors (glass and wood). In fact, I placed a MOREBO (401.040.91) (glass-aluminium) door above and a OLSBO (901.813.60) (wood) below on the same Billy shelf (400.857.09), in fact they are tall 96 + 98 cm. The only important thing is to put the glass door above and the wood below ...
Feb 17, 2017 · Packing the Pax & Blinding with a Billy. With a new baby boy on the way, we had to find a way to squeeze our 10yo and a 4yo daughters in the same room for many years to come. We removed the old standard closets with bifold doors. Put in 4 Pax units (3-29.5″ and 1- 39.5″) added various accessories to accommodate folded items in drawers ...
Mar 13, 2019 · In collaboration with IKEA. The open closet concept is gaining in popularity. Already some time ago I had considered replacing my old closet with an open one. The benefits are obvious – you can see your clothes at first sight and so it is easier to keep order and choose an outfit. In search of a suitable cabinet system, I came across the PAX ...

Pax wardrobes with doors – If you’re buying a new wardrobe just opt for the cheapest doors available which is exactly what we did.1 x additional door (make sure it’s a solid one and not honeycomb as it won’t work otherwise! More on why you will need an additional door later in the tutorial)Wood glue – This is our favourite wood glue. You’ll need quite a lot of it!3mm thick HDF or MDF panels – We recommend getting the panels cut for you as it’s extremely important that the panels are exactly the same sizeKreg Jig – This is our newest tool and I can’t believe how we ever DIYed without it! It makes connecting pieces of timber so easy! Definitely an investment worth making but, as always, hire any too...Nailer – This is optional as you could just use wood glue but it will make the project quicker and easier if you have one. This is the nailer that we have, love and use for all of our projects.We purchased the cheapest doors that are available for the Pax wardrobes which are called Forsand. Pax doors are just under 50cm wide and to cover them you’ll need 10 x 47mm wide strips with a 3mm gap between them. As we extended our Pax wardrobes by about 40cm, we had to lengthen the door slightly to be able to have something to stick the cladding...
Billy doors are 40cm wide. To cover them you’ll need 8 x 47mm wide strips with just under a 3mm gap between them (we just eyeballed the distance between the slats when attaching them). To extend the Billy door we used the same method as for the Pax door. We used a piece of timber that was roughly the size we needed in the IKEA bargain corner and ju...
Lay your door on a flat surface and make sure that it’s dust free and clean. Then start to attach the timber strips one at a time making sure to use a spacer to keep an equal distance between each of them. For the Pax door, you’ll need 10 strips of timber. Because the gap between each panel on the Pax doors is 3mm, you can use one of the timber str...
The bottom of the cladding hangs over the bottom end of the door by 5.5cm, giving you a 1,5cm gap at the bottom. (You may want to adjust this measurement to give you more clearance if you have a carpet or wonky floors). Because there’s 3mm space between each panel, there are gaps where they hang over the edge of the door. To fill these gaps just cu...
You may be lucky and your Pax fits perfectly into your alcove or along the wall but if like us you are left with little gaps you will have to fill these to make your IKEA Pax wardrobes built-in and look like part of the wall. Usually, we would attach the timber to the wall, but we wanted this to be a renter-friendly hack we attached to the wardrobe...

Dec 12, 2018 · 9. Plugged holes. A little known secret is that IKEA sells packs of plugs designed to hide the many, many holes in the Pax system that are used for shelving, etc. They sell packs of 100 plugs for $1, and while they are more difficult to install than expected they are totally worth the effort.
