Peculiarities
Swedish IKEA sliding door systems have their own distinctive features:
- Low cost.
- Easy to assemble. The design is specially adapted for non-professionals.
- Standard equipment. The parts are interchangeable and can be combined.
It is possible to assemble the door yourself from separate double door frames with guides and a set of different panels made of different materials in several color variations. To diversify the design, you can combine 2 sets of panels in one door system: make a different design for each leaf, or arrange the panels in a checkerboard pattern.
Frames with PAX guides for IKEA sliding doors are available in three color options:
- Grey. 150x201 cm costs 6,000 rubles, 150x236 cm and 200x201 cm - 7,000 rubles, and 200x236 cm - 8,000 rubles.
- White and black. 150×236 cm costing 7,000 rubles. and 200×236 cm - 8000 rub.
They are made of aluminum.
Hinged doors
Doors for Ikea cabinets can be either hinged or sliding, although the latter are usually used more often. And since cabinets are used for different purposes, the doors for them have different designs and are made with different designs.
Closet
There are 2 main designs:
- blind door - does not allow you to see the contents of the wardrobe. This is a classic solution, which, however, can be decorated in different styles. So the Vold or Meroker model is quite suitable for the classical style or modern neo-baroque. And the design of Undredal or Fardal will decorate the interior in the Art Nouveau style;
- glazed - it is preferable to install products with frosted glass in the wardrobe to also hide its contents. However, glass itself, with its ability to reflect light and structure the surface, makes furniture visually lighter and more elegant.
Accordion door
Models are made from chipboard, a lightweight material that is quite resistant to temperature and moisture changes. The film coating gives the product a resemblance to wood and very high quality. Any type of wood can be imitated: bleached oak, alder, ash, cherry. Stained wood shades are also available. The same Flisberget model can be made in Wenge and dark blue. All options are presented in the catalog.
Accordion door for cabinet
All products are supplied with fittings and fasteners necessary for self-assembly.
However, shutters cannot be used as interior doors; their maximum width is 50 cm, and this is not enough to cover even a standard doorway. In addition, mirror doors are not hinged.
Stacked doors
The price of a stacked door system depends on the material from which the selected panels are made.
Panels for sliding door frames are sold as a set of 4 pieces, in four sizes: 50 and 59x75 cm, 50 and 59x100 cm each. Various materials are used for manufacturing:
- Fibreboard covered with film:
- Mehamn - white color. Cost - 1100 rubles. 236×75 cm and 1700 rub. 236×100 cm.
- Volda - double-sided. Colors: black-brown and bleached oak. Price: 1100 and 1700 rubles.

- Auli Model:
- Mirror glass: 1900–2500 rub. (4 size options);
- Glass with gray and brown protective film: 2700 and 3500 rubles.
Types of paintings
There are many door options. For example, compartment doors from Ikea are made in several varieties.
The company's catalog offers:
- Solid canvases, for the production of which mainly natural wood is taken;
- Designs that contain decorative inserts made of glass or plastic;
- Completely mirror or glass panels.
All products have wear-resistant qualities, and at the same time have a low price compared to other competitors. For such high characteristics we should thank the design developments. It was they who took into account all the factors under which the company’s products would be used, including climatic conditions.
Solid fabric
Most often it has hinged doors. But Ikea often uses it in sliding structures. All models are lightweight. This is achieved by making the door in the form of a sandwich-type shield. The wooden frame is sheathed on both sides with fiberboard plates, and the insides are filled with honeycomb filler. Although this technology is not new and is used all over the world, few people know that its founder is the Ikea company.
All products assembled using this type have the necessary strength and are lightweight. At the same time, they are environmentally friendly, which is especially appreciated by consumers. An additional advantage of this manufacturing technology is the low price of the product.
Doors with inserts
Often small strips of glass are inserted into blank panels. This allows you to add more light to the room, making it more comfortable. Glass can be either frosted or colored. Products become significantly cheaper if the insert is made of fiberglass. Externally, it cannot be distinguished from natural glass.
Original designs
Along with ordinary wooden products, the company has products that attract attention. Mirrored doors add lightness and grace to the room. Ikea has many glass designs. Moreover, different technologies are used: from matting to tinting. There are models that use stained glass elements.
All structures are highly durable. This is facilitated by framing the glass in a rigid profile. And to avoid rattling, a silicone seal is used. Even louvered doors are made using this principle. To strengthen the joints between the elements, Ikea decided to use the same silicone. However, in more expensive products you can see rubber.
The cost of the door will depend on the material used. Ikea provides a catalog in which you can find any models. There are at least budget options made from paper boards with honeycomb filling, and at least products made from natural materials that are not inferior to elite ones.

Ready doors
It is possible to purchase ready-made one-piece double door leaves from budget to luxury, at a price of 9,000 to 20,000 rubles. They are assembled from frames and one or two types of the above-described panels, which give the model its name.
The materials for them are: fibreboard covered with film and veneered, chipboard, plastic, mirror glass and glass enamel.
IKEA designer coupe doors are also on sale, for example, with a glossy surface or decorated with patterns:
- Sworkmo. Materials: board on frame (chipboard, fibreboard), ABS plastic, Acrylic paint; filler - paper; decorative strip made of anodized aluminum.
Design options: mesh pattern or vertical stripe on a white or beige background, white fish scale pattern on a dark blue background. Price - 15,000 and 17,000 thousand rubles. - Hasvik. Available in 3 versions: white matte (from 6,700 to 8,900 rubles), glossy dark beige and white (11,700 and 13,900 rubles).
The materials are identical to the Svorkmo model. - Bergsfjord. Color - white with vertical decorative strips made of powder-coated aluminum.
Price - 17,700 and 19,900 rubles.
Solid fabric requires care during delivery. One person cannot handle this, unlike set doors.
Due to the narrow choice of sizes, standard sliding doors are not suitable for all wardrobes. It is also possible to adapt them for a dressing room, but this will be associated with some difficulties. It is necessary to select a suitable method of filling the space above and/or on the sides of the door system. To assemble wide wardrobes, it is possible to create a sliding system from two sets of IKEA sliding doors.
Instructions for disassembling the doors from the Pax wardrobe.
The need to disassemble the doors of a Pax wardrobe usually arises when moving furniture to a new location.
The entire system is quite large, it does not fit into the openings of interior doors when assembled, and transportation of all parts must be carried out extremely carefully so as not to damage the elements that make up the wardrobe door. ► How to assemble a Pax wardrobe in a vertical position?
Following our instructions, one person can remove a narrow 70cm door with non-glass filling; for large and heavy doors you need to find help.
We prepare the cabinet for subsequent actions. First, we remove all things from the shelves. We take out the drawers and shelves, remove the rods. The internal filling must be completely removed from the wardrobe body.
We also free up space around the cabinet and cover the floor with a protective coating to accommodate the removed door. Free space for disassembling doors will protect us from “accidents”.
► The main mistakes in assembling the Pax wardrobe!
We disconnect the door closer, a device for smoothly closing the door.
This item may not be included in the package! Using a hex wrench (you can use a flat-head screwdriver that fits your size), on the top rail on both sides of the cabinet, unscrew the bolts in the bumpers, holding the door closer mechanisms from falling. RICE. 1
Next, disconnect the closer brackets on the inside of the doors. On the outer cabinet door in the roller mechanism, unscrew the two top screws and remove the bracket, then screw the screws back in. RICE. 2
On the inner door, unscrew one bottom screw on the roller mechanism, remove the bracket, and put the screw in place. RICE. 3
Unlock the restraints and remove the doors.
Remove the blanking strip from the outer door. Unscrew the four screws and remove the bar. RICE. 4
Below, inside the outer door of the wardrobe, unscrew the screws on the bracket plates moving along the bottom guide. We remove the plates one by one, carefully moving the door. RICE. 5
We move the outer door stops to their original position by pulling the plastic latch towards you. RICE. 6
Updated external door roller mechanism! Lift the lock element and pull it towards you.
Remove the door by carefully lifting it up without touching the inner cabinet door. RICE. 7
Having previously moved the stops to a horizontal position on the second (inner) door, remove it from the guide. Lifting the door up a little, remove the rollers from the upper guide, and then down - remove the lower bracket from the lower guide and remove the door. RICE. 8
Updated roller mechanism for the inner door of the pax cabinet! We press on the “appendage” and pull the lock down.
Disconnection of aluminum profiles on doors.
To connect the door parts, screws for a Phillips screwdriver were used, but if the assembly was improper (found when disassembling a Pax wardrobe from Ikea), some of the screws underwent changes when tightened, and it is impossible to unscrew them with a screwdriver. You can replace the screwdriver with pliers, tightly clamp the edges of the screws and try to turn the screw counterclockwise. At the corners of the door inside the aluminum frame there are connecting corners. The demarcation profile was attached to the door frame with plates using a screw and a hex bolt sleeve. RICE. 9 Step-by-step instructions will help us correctly disconnect all the parts in the doors.
Initially, the door to be disassembled should be in a lying position with the inside facing up. We disconnect the roller mechanism by unscrewing the three screws. Attention! The screws have different heads for additional fastening of the closer brackets - remember for later assembly. RICE. 10
Next, we unscrew the screws on one side of the long door frame and the adjacent corners of the small frames; the hexagon bolt sleeves do not need to be unscrewed - they and the mounting plates will remain on the disconnect profile. RICE. eleven
Carefully remove the frame, evenly distributing the efforts; the internal mounting corners should remain in it. RICE. 12
We unscrew the screws on the opposite frame, take out the small frame on one side, then the door filling part (glass), then the demarcation profile and in order. RICE. 13
Any doubts? Let's do the work for you! RICE. 14
Our company's craftsmen will carefully disassemble or assemble furniture from Ikea, as well as any other manufacturer.
