Bathroom cabinets may be used to replace an existing bathroom
cabinet or may be installed in existing or new construction. If you are
replacing an existing cabinet, begin installation with step 1.If you are
starting with existing or new construction, begin installation with
step 2.
1. Replacing an existing recessed cabinet. Remove the existing
cabinet from the wall. Measure the rough wall opening. The opening
must be the size shown in Figures 1 and 4 at right. If the opening is
the proper size, continue with step 6. If the opening is too large or too
small, start installation with step 4.
2. New or existing construction. Bathroom cabinets are usually
mounted so that the center of the mirror is 60” from the finished
floor. Following the instructions contained on this sheet will place
the cabinet at this height.
3. New construction. Frame the rough wall opening as shown in
Figures 2 or 3. Continue installation with step 5. Note: For all
cabinets wider than 14", add 1/2" to the width of the rough opening
cut out and add shims to the studs.
4. Existing construction. Refer to Figures 4 and 5.
Prepare the rough wall opening as follows.
(a) Determine the desired location for the cabinet.
(b) Locate the wall studs. For ease of installation, the cabinet should
be mounted between existing studs. If the studs interfere, new
framing must be provided as shown in Figure 5.
(c) Layout the rough wall opening on the wall as shown in Figure 1
and 4 or 5. Cut out this opening, being careful not to damage the
surrounding wall surface.
Note: For all cabinets wider than 14", add 1/2" to the width of the
rough opening cut out and add shims to the studs.
(d) The rough wall opening must be free of all obstructions. If a wall
stud is protruding into the wall opening, this stud must be cut and
removed. Additional framing must be provided as shown in Figure 5.
Be careful not to damage back of adjacent wall. If plumbing or
electrical lines interfere with rough wall opening, they must be
relocated. This must be done in accordance with the local and
national codes and it is recommended that the services of a plumber
or electrician be obtained.
5. Finish the surrounding wall.
6. Mounting the cabinet. Refer to Figure 6. The bathroom cabinet
may be mounted with door opening to the right or left side of the
cabinet.
Turn the cabinet over to reverse the opening.
(a) Place the cabinet (with the door opening the desired direction)
fully into the rough wall opening.
(b) Install four mounting screws (provided) as shown in Figure 6. Do
not fully tighten these screws at this time.
(c) Place a carpenter’s level on the cabinet. Tighten or loosen
diagonally opposite screws as shown in Figure 6 to level the cabinet.
(d) When the cabinet is level, tighten all screws.
NOTE: DO NOT USE NAILS TO MOUNT THE CABINET.
7. Install the shelves in he desired location in the cabinet.
