|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1930 | 29 1/2" | 18 1/2" | 4" | ±1/8" |
| 2330 | 29 1/2" | 22 1/2" | 4" | ±1/8" |

Diagram Description (Fig 1): Illustrates how to determine cabinet measurements (Height, Width, Depth) and orientation using level and plumb indicators.
Diagram Description (Fig 2): Shows a side view of the cabinet installed with a 1-inch clearance.
Installation Orientation: Diagrams illustrate the left-hand and right-hand installation orientations for the medicine cabinet door. If needed, turn the cabinet upside down for the opposite hand installation.
Recessed or Semi-Recessed Installation
For drywall with thickness greater than 10-12 mm, use specified drywall anchors. For drywall less than 10-12 mm, install brackets on the stud.
-
Detach the side kits from the cabinet as shown in the diagram.
Diagram Description (Top View): Shows how to detach the side kits from the cabinet.
-
Ensure hinges are on the correct side for left-hand or right-hand operation. Place the cabinet box into the rough opening.
For fully recessed installations, ensure the cabinet flange evenly covers the rough opening (Diagram Description Fig 3).
For semi-recessed applications, align mirror edges with the wall surface (Diagram Description Fig 4). Use shims as needed.
-
Insert four (4) #10 x 1 1/2" screws ⑤ into the provided locations for recessed installation (Diagram Description Fig 5). Be careful not to overtighten. Ensure the cabinet is centered in the rough opening. Cover screws with provided ⑩ caps.
How to Surface Mount Cabinet
If installing with a center mirror/shelf kit, consult its specific installation instructions first.
-
Establish the precise height and draw a level horizontal line (Diagram Description Fig 6).
IMPORTANT: Position the medicine cabinet at the precise height. Ensure at least 1" of clearance above any obstructions.
-
Place the bottom of the wall bracket on the horizontal line and at the correct position from left to right. Mark the holes on the wall (Diagram Description Fig 7).
-
Drill an 8 mm hole if required for a wall anchor and place the anchor in the hole. Mount the wall bracket with #10 x 1 1/2" ⑤ screws (Diagram Description Fig 8).
-
Insert the surface mount Z-clips ⑥ as shown (Diagram Description Fig 9 & 10).
-
Place the cabinet into the wall bracket (Diagram Description Fig 11). Mark the hole locations of the Z-clips (Diagram Description Fig 12). It is recommended that at least one Z-clip be located at a stud. Detach the cabinet and drill an 8 mm hole if needed for an anchor, then place the anchor in the hole.
-
Remount the cabinet and connect with #10 x 1 1/2" ⑤ screws (Diagram Description Fig 13). Be careful not to damage or scratch the top flange.
NOTE: Be careful not to damage or scratch the top flange.
Door Installation
-
Remove the protective packaging from the door, being careful not to bump the mirror edges. Line up the hinges against the hinge mounting plates. Snap into position (Diagram Description Fig 14).
Diagram Description (Fig 14): Shows hinge alignment with mounting plates, and details for snapping into position or pulling to release.
-
The door should "snap" lock when approximately 1" from being fully closed. The door should be placed evenly in relation to the cabinet.
Limit Clips
Limit Clips ⑬ are provided to reduce the cabinet door opening swing from 170 degrees to 130 degrees (see top view). This prevents the door from hitting wall sconces or other decorative items.
Diagram Description: Shows door swing angles of 170 degrees and 130 degrees.
Additional Item Installation
-
Insert the clear shelf clip ② into the appropriate hole location, using 2 clips per shelf (Diagram Description Fig 16).
-
Place the glass shelf ⑨ on top of the clear shelf clips, ensuring the shelf is against the back of the cabinet. Press lightly to adhere the shelf clip sticker (Diagram Description Fig 17).
-
Fill the remaining holes with hole plugs ③ (Diagram Description Fig 18). Fill the rest of the shelf clip holes with decorative covers ⑭ (Diagram Description Fig 19).
