Installation
Your TokeShimi medicine cabinet offers flexible installation options: recessed or surface mount. Choose the method that best suits your bathroom design and wall structure.
Mounting Options
- Recessed Mounting: For a flush, built-in look, the cabinet is installed into a wall cutout.
- Surface Mounting: The cabinet is mounted directly onto the wall surface.

Door Opening Direction
The cabinet is designed for reversible installation, allowing for either left or right door opening. This is determined during the initial assembly steps by selecting the appropriate D1/D2 pieces for A1/A2.

Wall Mounting Steps
- Measure and Mark: Measure the distance and position between the hoist holes on the cabinet. Use a level to mark the desired installation height on your wall, ensuring it is at least 3 inches away from faucets and lights.
- Drill Top Holes: Drill holes at the marked top positions. Insert wall anchors if necessary, then screw in the top screws, leaving a gap of 0.28-0.55 inches between the screw head and the wall.
- Hang Cabinet: Carefully hang the cabinet onto the top screws.
- Mark Bottom Holes: While the cabinet is hanging, mark the locations for the bottom hoist holes through the cabinet.
- Drill Bottom Holes: Remove the cabinet, drill the bottom holes, and insert anchors. Screw in the bottom screws, again leaving a small gap.
- Secure Cabinet: Re-hang the cabinet, ensuring all screws are engaged. Tighten all screws until the cabinet is secure and flush against the wall.

Adjustable Shelves
The cabinet features stepless adjustable shelves, allowing you to customize the storage space to fit items of various heights. Simply loosen the shelf supports, adjust the shelf to the desired height, and re-tighten the supports to secure the shelf.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your TokeShimi medicine cabinet, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning the Mirror: Use a soft, lint-free cloth and a non-abrasive glass cleaner. Spray the cleaner onto the cloth, not directly onto the mirror, to avoid streaks and drips into the frame.
- Cleaning the Frame: Wipe the aluminum frame with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Dry thoroughly to prevent water spots.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or strong chemical solvents, as these can damage the mirror surface or the aluminum finish.
- Moisture Control: Although the cabinet is moisture-proof, wipe away any standing water or excessive moisture from the surfaces to maintain its condition.
- Hinge Care: Periodically check the hinges for smooth operation. If needed, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the moving parts.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your medicine cabinet, refer to the following common solutions:
- Door Not Closing Properly: Check the hinge alignment. The hinges are adjustable to move the door up/down or left/right. Refer to the installation video for hinge adjustment details.
- Shelves Not Level: Ensure the shelf supports are correctly inserted and tightened. Use a bubble level to verify horizontal alignment.
- Missing or Damaged Parts: If any parts are missing or damaged upon arrival, contact TokeShimi customer service immediately for assistance.
