RECESSED MEDICINE CABINET INSTALLATION AND CARE
I. LOCATION
A. All ZACA medicine cabinets are designed for
recessed installation in a standard wall opening 14”
wide, 24” or 34” high, and 3½” (or more) deep.
B. To replace an existing cabinet, remove old
cabinet, verify that the wall opening is the correct
size, and proceed with MOUNTING, step II.
C. New installations require the location and fabri-
cation of a suitable wall opening. For applications in
which a wall opening is impractical, surface mount
frames are available for purchase from your dealer.
1. Select a wall opening site that is centered
between wall studs that are positioned 16” on center.
2. The center of the wall opening is commonly
located 60” above the floor. Alter this dimension to
suit individual need or to facilitate clearance between
the top or bottom of the hinged mirror and obstacles
such as counter top, faucet, electrical outlet, light fix-
ture, ceiling, etc.
3. Mark and cut the 14” wide x 24” or 34” high
wall opening. Any electrical or plumbing obstructions
should be removed or relocated by qualified trade
personnel in strict compliance with all applicable
building codes.
II. MOUNTING
A. ZACA medicine cabinets are reversible and
may be installed left or right hand opening. Model
52-2-34-00 is not reversible.
B. Place the cabinet in the wall opening with the
top of the cabinet body return flange held fully
against the wall. Noting that the mounting system
positions the mounting screws at a comfortable 15°
angle, install two screws (provided) in the UPPER
mounting holes. Use only the screws provided (do
not use nails). Do not fully tighten the screw
heads into the nests at this time; leave approxi-
mately ¼” of thread exposed. Note: Marking and
drilling .078” diameter pilot holes (at the 15° angle)
into the studs and/or coating the screw threads with
soap may reduce the effort of driving the screws.
C. Install two screws in the lower mounting holes.
Again, leave ¼” of the thread exposed.
D. Some walls are not flat and plumb. Using a
carpenter’s level, adjust as necessary to level the
cabinet as viewed facing the cabinet and viewed
from the side. Check fit of cabinet door to cabinet
body flange. Correct any gap between door and
body by shimming as necessary between the wall
and the body flange at the corner diagonally opposite
the gap. (Example: If the gap is top/right, shim bot-
tom/left). Adjust the shim thickness for cross-axis
alignment to achieve a satisfactory fit between the
door and body.
E. Tighten all four mounting screws until screw
heads are just seated in their nests. DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN!
III. USEFUL TIPS TO HELP AVOID MIRROR
SPOILAGE (BLACK EDGE)
A. The best and safest cleaner for a mirror is
clean water used with a soft cloth.
B. Never spray anything directly onto a mirror.
Instead, apply the cleaner to a soft cloth and then
wipe the mirror.
C. Never use any acid, alkali, abrasive or ammo-
nia-based cleaners; they are likely to destroy the mir-
ror and will void the warranty.
D. Avoid drips and “puddling” at the mirror edge.
E. Thoroughly dry all mirror edges.
F. Medicine cabinets should be one of the last
items installed in new construction to avoid contact
with solvents, cleaners, etc.
G. In humid climates, install mirrors after air
conditioning is operational.
H. Good ventilation will keep mirrors from “sweat-
ing” and creating harmful condensation.
