Surface Mount
- Mark the desired height and center point on the wall.
- Use the provided template (if applicable) or measure to mark drilling locations for mounting screws. Ensure these align with wall studs or use appropriate heavy-duty wall anchors.
- Drill pilot holes and secure the mounting bracket(s) to the wall.
- Carefully lift the cabinet and attach it to the secured mounting hardware.
- Ensure the cabinet is level and securely fastened before proceeding.
Recessed Mount
- Identify the wall cavity location, ensuring no electrical wires or plumbing are present.
- Cut an opening in the wall according to the cabinet's rough-in dimensions (refer to specifications for precise measurements).
- Insert the cabinet into the opening.
- Secure the cabinet to the wall studs using the provided mounting screws through the pre-drilled holes inside the cabinet.
- Install mirrored side kits (if included and desired for a finished look) according to their specific instructions.
Operating Instructions
Opening and Closing Doors
The cabinet features two slow-close doors designed for quiet and smooth operation. Gently pull the door handle to open. The integrated slow-close mechanism will ensure the door closes softly without slamming. Avoid forcing the doors open or closed, as this can damage the hinges.

Adjusting Shelves
The four tempered-glass shelves are adjustable to accommodate items of various heights.
- Empty the shelf you wish to adjust of all contents.
- Carefully lift the glass shelf from its supports.
- Reposition the shelf supports to the desired height. Ensure all four supports for a single shelf are at the same level to prevent tilting.
- Place the glass shelf back onto the supports, ensuring it is stable and securely seated.
Using the Magnifying Mirror
A 3x magnifying mirror is conveniently located on the inside of one of the cabinet doors. This mirror is vertically adjustable to suit different user heights.
- Gently slide the magnifying mirror up or down along its track to your preferred viewing height.
- The mirror can be tilted slightly for optimal viewing angle.

Maintenance and Care
Cleaning the Cabinet
- For mirrors and glass shelves, use a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive glass cleaner.
- For the aluminum frame and cabinet interior, use a soft cloth with mild soap and water.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals (e.g., ammonia-based cleaners), as these can damage the finish and mirrors.
- Wipe all surfaces dry immediately after cleaning to prevent water spots and streaks.
Door Hinge Adjustment
The two-way adjustable hinges allow for precise door alignment. If the cabinet doors become misaligned over time, minor adjustments can be made using a screwdriver. Refer to the hinge manufacturer's instructions or a qualified professional for specific adjustment procedures to avoid damage.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Door does not close smoothly or is misaligned | Hinge misalignment or obstruction | Check for any physical obstructions. Adjust hinges as described in the Maintenance section. |
| Shelves are wobbly or uneven | Incorrectly seated or uneven shelf supports | Ensure shelves are fully seated on all four supports and that all supports are at the same height. |
| Magnifying mirror does not slide freely | Track obstruction or debris | Clean the mirror track with a soft, dry cloth. Do not force movement. |
| Cabinet appears loose on the wall | Mounting screws are loose or insufficient anchoring | Tighten mounting screws. If necessary, reinforce wall anchors or consult a professional for secure installation. |
