How to install a bathroom mirror with cabinets

Instructions

things you'll need:

• Screwdriver
• Level
• Marking pencil
• Stud finder
• Hollow wall fasteners
• Tape measure
• Cordless drill
• Screws included with cabinet

• 1
  Remove the mirrored doors to the bathroom cabinet. This is usually accomplished by unscrewing the hinges. Set aside the doors.
• 2
  Determine the placement of the bathroom mirror with cabinets. With the help of a friend, hold the bathroom cabinet against the wall. Center the cabinet over the sink about 40 inches from the floor. Place the level on the cabinet shelf to ensure that it is sitting evenly.
• 3
  Trace around the outside of the bathroom cabinet with a pencil. Set the cabinet aside.
• 4
  Locate the studs in the traced area using a stud finder; mark with a pencil. If you can not find suitable studs in the immediate area, you will need to use hollow wall anchors, installed according to the package directions.
• 5
  Measure the location of the studs in relation to the traced outline of your cabinet. Transfer these marks to the bathroom mirror with cabinets, determining the best placement for your screws. The top screws should penetrate the reinforcement strip on the back of the cabinet door.
• 6
  Drill holes part way into the wall; you will want to clear the drywall and just start to penetrate the stud. Drill the screw holes completely through the back of the cabinet door.
• 7
  Hold the bathroom cabinet against the wall firmly, enlisting the help of a friend. Check to make sure the cabinet is level, adjusting your placement as necessary. Match the wall holes with the holes in the cabinet.
• 8
  Use the screwdriver to secure the cabinet to the wall with the included screws, ensuring that the screws sink deeply into the stud. Ideally, you should have at least four screws: two on the top of the cabinet and two on the bottom. The top screws should catch the reinforcement strip on the back of the cabinet.
• 9
  Reinstall the mirrored doors on your bathroom mirror with cabinet.
