Working on building a wardrobe in my son's room and will be installing sliding doors. It turns out that the existing wall is crooked. There is a difference of about 12 mm from the top to the bottom. What/how is the best way to "fill in" the gap with? It's enough to fill in at the front where we will be mounting the sliding door.

The sliding doors I installed had a certain amount of adjustment possible, I believe 12 mm would work. You attach angles to the ceiling and then the track is screwed into sliding slots in the angles. If the floor is very uneven, it might be more problematic, as there is a risk of a downhill slope for the doors.
My system was from skånska byggvaror and works very well.
Otherwise, you could prop it up with either a beveled timber or shims in the right places. The gap is then covered with a molding.
Edit: if the question was about the vertical part, it might be trickier. At my place, there was a difference of a few mm, and it was possible to adjust the door to hang slightly crooked, so that the gap against the wall became smaller, but without making the door appear crooked.

Yes, it's the vertical part that's uneven.fredrik.johansson said:
