Extending a PAX wardrobe with an extra frame: can you do it later?
Not enough wardrobe space after a year? You can usually extend an existing PAX system, as long as a few things match.
You can extend a PAX wardrobe later with an extra frame, as long as the height, depth and colour match the existing wardrobe. The new frame is placed next to the old one, adjusted to the same height and joined together. If you have sliding doors, the total width changes and the existing doors will no longer fit the whole wardrobe. Extending is simplest with hinged doors.
What needs to match
- The height: 201 or 236 cm.
- The depth: 35 or 58 cm.
- The colour of the frame. After a few years it may differ slightly from a new frame.
- The doors: the same model and colour, if they are still available.
How a frame is added
The existing wardrobe stays where it is. The new frame is built next to it, the adjustable feet are set to the same height, and it is fixed to the side panel of the old wardrobe with connecting bolts. The new frame is then fixed to the wall as well.
If the old wardrobe stands against a side wall, the extension goes on the other side.
Extending with sliding doors
Sliding doors are available for a total width of 150 or 200 cm. If you add a frame next to it, that section gets its own doors. Read more in our article on sliding doors and hinged doors.
Have it done for you
Send a photo of your current wardrobe and the order list for the extension. You will then receive a fixed price in advance. Read more on the page about PAX assembly.
Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Can I join a new PAX frame to an old wardrobe?
Yes, if the height and depth are the same. The frames are fixed together with connecting bolts.
Will a new frame match a wardrobe that is a few years old?
Usually, yes, but the colour may differ slightly because the old wardrobe has discoloured or the range has changed.
Does the existing wardrobe need to be emptied for the extension?
Please empty the section next to the new frame, so we can join the frames.
