Why Choose Large Medicine Cabinets?

Before jumping into the installation process, it’s essential to understand why large medicine cabinets are an excellent choice for your bathroom. Here’s why they’re worth considering:

• Maximized Storage: A larger cabinet provides ample room to store medications, toiletries, grooming tools, and more.
• Superior Organization: They help you keep clutter off the counter by offering designated compartments for every item.
• Stylish Appeal: Today’s options, such as those from WELLFOR, seamlessly blend sleek design with functionality, adding a modern touch to your bathroom.
• A Reflection That Works: Many medicine cabinets also double as a functional mirror, making them an essential part of your daily routine.

Now that we know why they’re worth it, here’s how to install one properly.

Tools and Materials Needed for Installation

Before you begin the process, gather the necessary tools and materials to simplify the installation. Here’s a handy checklist:

Tools:

• Screwdriver (Phillips and flathead)
• Power drill
• Level
• Measuring tape
• Stud finder
• Pencil or marker
• Utility knife
• Hammer (optional)

Materials:

• Large medicine cabinet (like one from WELLFOR’s collection)
• Wall mounting brackets or screws (often included with the cabinet)
• Wall anchors (if installing on drywall)
• Construction adhesive (optional for added stability)
• Drywall patching kit (in case adjustments are needed)

Having these tools ready will make the next steps more seamless and efficient.

Step-by-Step Guide to Installing a Large Medicine Cabinet

1. Choose the Right Location

The first step is finding the perfect spot. Ideally, the cabinet should be installed above the bathroom sink for easy access and functionality. Keep in mind:

• The height should be convenient for all users.
• Check for existing plumbing or electrical wiring behind the wall. Use a stud finder to locate studs and avoid unnecessary damage.

2. Measure and Mark

• Use your measuring tape to mark the dimensions of the cabinet on the wall. Trace around the cabinet lightly with a pencil.
• Mark the position of the mounting screws or brackets as indicated in the cabinet’s instruction manual.

  Pro Tip: For recessed installations, ensure the cutout area aligns precisely with the size of the cabinet.

3. Prepare the Wall

Surface-Mounted Installation:

• Use a stud finder to locate a stud for added support.
• If you can’t find a stud, use wall anchors to ensure stability.

  Recessed Installation:

• Use a utility knife to cut the drywall and create an inset area for the cabinet.

Before cutting or drilling, double-check with your marked measurements to avoid mistakes.

4. Secure the Mounting Brackets

Most large medicine cabinets, including those from WELLFOR, come with mounting brackets for a secure fit. Follow these steps:

• Attach the brackets securely to the wall using screws and a power drill. If applicable, ensure the screws connect with a stud for extra strength.
• Double-check that the brackets are level to avoid a tilted installation.

Tip: Use a level after attaching the mounting brackets to ensure they’re perfectly straight.

5. Install the Cabinet

After preparing the wall and securing the brackets:

• Gently place the large medicine cabinet onto the mounting brackets.
• Double-check that everything aligns properly.
• Use additional screws (as provided with the product) to secure the cabinet to the wall.

6. Adjust and Secure

Once the cabinet is installed:

• Check that the door of the cabinet opens and closes smoothly.
• Make any necessary adjustments to ensure everything is stable and level.

For WELLFOR cabinets, installation is often straightforward, but it’s always a good idea to consult the product manual for specific instructions.

Additional Tips for a Smooth Installation

• Work With a Friend: Large cabinets can be heavy. Having someone to assist you can make positioning easier and safer.
• Protect the Surface: Use painter’s tape or a cloth to prevent scratches during the process.
• Follow Manufacturer Instructions: Brands like WELLFOR provide detailed assembly guides tailored to their products, ensuring a secure fit.
• Consider Lighting Options: Some large medicine cabinets come with built-in lighting. If your cabinet has this feature, ensure the wiring is installed properly or consult a professional electrician.

Maintenance Tips for Large Medicine Cabinets

Once your cabinet is up and contributing to your bathroom’s functionality and style, it’s essential to maintain it for longevity. Here are some maintenance tips:

• Clean Regularly: Wipe down shelves and mirrors using a gentle glass cleaner.
• Avoid Overloading: Store items based on weight and ensure the cabinet isn’t overloaded.
• Organize Efficiently: Use clear bins or dividers to organize toiletries and medications within the cabinet.
• Inspect for Wear: Check hinges and screws periodically to ensure they remain tight and secure.
