Installation
INSTALLING MEDICINE CABINETS .........................................................................................
CAUTION! Always remove doors from your cabinets
during installation (see page 7) and store them away from the
work area. This will make your cabinets lighter, easier to move
and position, and safer to handle. Doors open unexpectedly and
unbalance the cabinet while you are moving it, causing personal
injury or damage to your cabinet. Plus, door faces will be protected from damage during installation if stored away from your
project. Take special care to not damage mirrors: store doors with glass side toward a wall. Damage caused during installation
is not covered by warranty.
Whether you have a medicine cabinet with traditional lights, LED light bar or just a crown molding top,
the mounting process is the same. The overall height will differ so consider that in your planning.
Our medicine cabinet mounting system
is easy to use, convenient
and very strong.
Determine the desired
location of the
medicine cabinet box
(before lights or crown
molding are installed)
and mark the wall, with
a pencil, at top center
of the cabinet box.
(See illustration 1.)
Measure down 3¾"
and make a level
horizontal line. The top
edge of the mounting
bar will be at this line.
Locate wall studs. Use two to four large (min. 3") screws to secure the mounting bar to the wall. Pre-drill screw holes in the
bar slightly larger than the screws being used so that tightening them will snug the mounting bar against the wall. Run screws
through bar, sheetrock and well into studs. If you are not familiar with types of screws, load, or how to do this for your specific
application; ask a construction professional. Do not force the wood Mounting Bar to conform with a wall that is not perfectly
flat. Doing so will make it impossible to mate the cabinet to the Mounting Bar. Use shims where necessary.
Place medicine cabinet against the wall and slide down until the medicine cabinet’s rear stretcher mates with
the installed mounting bar.
