IKEA Pax Kompliment Pine Wardrobe Doors - (Install Review)


Yesterday I had the opportunity to assemble 4 Pax Wardrobe Frames (2 @ 19" or what I call "narrow" and 2 @ 39" or what I call "wide") with these stained grey Pine Kompliment doors. These doors look great, however (and there is always an however) if you go to drill holes into these doors for handles, be aware that the wood grain on the door runs vertcal on the panel and splits easily. Gradually and slowly drill the holes using a tiny drill bit first and gradually moving up in size to the disired hole size. Let the drill bit do the cutting and do not push the bit into the door. This will minimize any damage that could occur to the door while drilling.
