I am in the process of buying a house that has a few very large but ugly cupboards with sliding doors right in the middle of the living-room. I am torn between keeping them because you can always use the storage capacity, and getting rid of them because they are so hideous. Your video hints at a middle ground: replacing them by customized, fitted Pax cupboards :)

    Hi.. do you need to leave a perimeter gap around where the doors will sit against the framing? A lot of chafing on my last attempt so just thinking eg a 5mm gap would be useful but maybe unsightly. I’ve ended up planing the doors a bit..

    • @kirstygriffiths749
