01Gather the Materials

  • Before you begin the installation process, gather all the necessary materials. You will need:
  • Medicine cabinet
  • Stud finder
  • Level
  • Pencil
  • Screwdriver
  • Screws
  • Wall anchors (if necessary)
  • Anchoring hardware (toggle bolts or molly bolts)
  • Drill
  • 10. Measuring tape

02Locate and Mark the Studs

  • Using a stud finder, locate the studs in the wall where you want to install the medicine cabinet. Mark the center of the studs with a pencil. This is where you will be drilling and securing the cabinet.
  • If you cannot find a stud at the desired location, you will need to use wall anchors to provide additional support. Follow the instructions provided with the wall anchors for proper installation.

03Measure and Mark the Placement

  • Measure the height and width of the medicine cabinet. Use a level to ensure your markings are straight. Mark the top and bottom positions of the cabinet on the wall, using the stud markings as a guide.

04Drill Pilot Holes

  • Using a drill with a drill bit slightly smaller than the screws you will be using, drill pilot holes into the stud markings on the wall.
  • If you are using wall anchors, follow the instructions provided to drill the appropriate size holes for the anchors.

05Install the Cabinet

  • Hold the medicine cabinet against the wall, aligning the pre-drilled holes with the pilot holes or wall anchors.
  • Using a screwdriver or drill, secure the cabinet to the wall by driving screws through the holes and into the studs or wall anchors.
  • Check that the cabinet is level and adjust as needed.
  • If the cabinet has adjustable shelves, follow the manufacturer's instructions to install them at your desired heights.

06Final Touches

  • Once the cabinet is securely installed, give it a final inspection to ensure it is level and properly attached to the wall.
  • Clean the interior and exterior of the cabinet before placing your items inside.
  • Organize your medications and toiletries within the cabinet for easy access and convenience.
