We build the PAX frames and fit the KOMPLEMENT interiors from the agreed configuration. We check that the frames line up, drawers clear the doors and hinges or sliding hardware operate correctly.
We assemble IKEA PAX wardrobes in London. Share the planner summary, frame sizes, doors and KOMPLEMENT fittings so we can discuss the configuration you ordered.

Send the planner summary and order list
The PAX planner can show the same wall with more than one arrangement. Send the final summary that matches the products you bought. It should make clear which frames are beside each other, which doors cover each section and how the interiors are set out. Include article numbers if they are available in the order confirmation.
If you changed the plan after ordering, let us know which parts you kept and which ones you replaced. The order may include several components with similar labels. A drawer or shelf can look right at first glance while belonging to a frame of a different width or depth. Keep the packaging and check the labels before the visit.
For several rooms, send the plan for each one separately. Mark the position of any narrow frames and the location of corner sections. If you want the wardrobes on different floors, tell us which cartons have reached each room.
| Part of the order | Useful information |
|---|---|
| Frames | Count, height, width, depth and article numbers. |
| Doors | Hinged or sliding, with any separate panels and fittings. |
| KOMPLEMENT interiors | Drawer, shelf, basket and rail positions. |
| Room | Wardrobe location, dimensions and any ceiling or skirting restrictions. |
Check room dimensions and door clearance
Measure the available height where the wardrobe will stand, especially if the ceiling slopes or the floor level changes. The space required to assemble a tall frame can differ from the finished height. If the unit is going in an alcove, include the width and depth and mention any skirting, trim or sockets that project into it.
For hinged doors, consider what they open towards. A bedside table or radiator can sit in the swing area even if the closed wardrobe fits neatly. For sliding doors, confirm that the kit matches the frames and doors on the plan. If the track or door panels are delivered separately, identify those packs on your order.
Look at the manufacturer fixing instructions for the model and tell us what is known about the wall. If you rent or the building limits drilling, confirm permission before arranging the work. Mention any restrictions in your enquiry so they can be discussed alongside the furniture and room layout.

Set out the interior you want to use
Tell us which section is for long hanging clothes, where drawers should sit and what shelf heights matter to you. The planner summary gives us a starting point. If you made a change to the interior after printing the plan, mark it so the assembler sees the correct layout when working through the frames.
Keep the KOMPLEMENT fittings grouped with the frame they belong to if you can. A pull-out basket, a drawer and a shelf may all be part of the same section, but the fittings are packaged separately. Check the article numbers for the correct width and depth. If one pack is missing, tell us which interior it affects.
If you are sharing the wardrobe with someone else, decide which section belongs to each person before the visit. Some customers want more long hanging space while others want drawers at a convenient height. Show us the layout as you want it to look when the doors open.
| Fitting | What to tell us |
|---|---|
| Clothes rails | Which frame and how much hanging space you want. |
| Drawers | Number, width and position within each frame. |
| Pull-out baskets | Frame compatibility and where each basket goes. |
| Shelves | Quantity and any heights that matter for storage. |
During and after the assembly visit
Show us the cartons, final position and planned layout at the start. We bring tools and use the supplied fittings and instructions. The assembler can check which frames, doors and internal parts are present. If an important component is absent or damaged, keep its article number and packaging so you can identify it when contacting the retailer.
The order of the job depends on the room and the configuration. A run of frames with a common door system needs a different arrangement from separate hinged units. Show us any low ceilings or access problems before the pieces are moved into position. If some parts came from an older wardrobe, say which ones they are.
Review the finished wardrobe with the assembler. Check the door movement, drawer positions and height of the rails. Compare the interiors with the plan before putting clothes into them. If you have ordered a part that is still on the way, keep its reference with the layout.
| Factor | What to include |
|---|---|
| Frame run | Sizes and sequence of all frames. |
| Door system | Door type, panels and track or hinges. |
| Internal parts | The final list and position of each fitting. |
| Access | Floor, stairs or lift and the room dimensions. |
Collection and split deliveries
If the PAX order is still at the retailer, ask about collection and delivery. Send the branch, order reference and delivery postcode along with the assembly list. Tall frame cartons may be longer than the lift or the landing turn. Mention access before arranging collection if the boxes need to reach an upper floor.
For an order arriving in stages, tell us which frame, door and interior packs are due on each date. The package list can help you work out which cartons are still missing. If the dates change, share the revised information before the visit. The same approach helps when several separate PAX orders are coming to one property.
If you are adding a frame beside an existing PAX wardrobe, send details of both. Tell us whether the new frame is intended to stand separately or form part of the same run. A photo of the existing arrangement and the space beside it helps us discuss the position, door movement and any differences in frame size before the visit.
When the new wardrobe replaces an existing one, tell us what will still be in the room when the boxes arrive. Plan where the panels can lie while the frame is assembled. If an old flat pack also needs dismantling, ask about that in the enquiry and include a photo. The assembler needs to know which furniture is to stay and which is to be taken apart.
If more than one person will meet the team, make sure they have the same planner summary and know where the wardrobe will stand.

Do I need to send a planner code?
A planner summary, product list or clear screenshots are useful. Include frame sizes and the positions of your interior fittings.
Can you work with sliding PAX doors?
Send the matching frame and track details, including any separate panel packs. Tell us about restrictions around the front of the wardrobe.
What if the ceiling is low?
Send the exact height, frame model and a photo of the intended area. We can discuss the clearance before arranging a visit.
Can I add interior fittings to the quote?
Yes. List each drawer, rail, shelf and basket and show which frame it belongs to.
Can a PAX drawer catch on a hinged door?
It can if the interior and door fittings conflict. We use the agreed layout and check that the drawer clears the door when opened.
