Options for Installing a Bathroom Medicine Cabinet

Medicine cabinets are available with decorative picture frames, classic wood trim or minimalist beveled glass to suit a variety of styles. High-quality medicine cabinets will also have adjustable glass or metal shelving and may include a secure locking mechanism.

These products are classified according to their installation method. Surface-mounted units are anchored to the drywall while recessed cabinets are set between the studs so that the back of the door is flush with the wall. Recessed medicine cabinets save space, but the installation process is more involved, and their width is limited to approximately 15 inches.

Cost Factors

The cost of installing or replacing a bathroom medicine cabinet depends on which product the homeowner selects. In most cases, the average cost is lower for surface-mounted medicine cabinets and installations where no structural changes are required. The project may cost more if the professional has to cut through the drywall and move pipes or electrical wires. Models that feature integrated light fixtures may cost more to install if assistance from an electrician is required.

Benefits of Hiring a Pro

In most situations, a moderate level of construction knowledge is required to successfully replace or install a medicine cabinet, especially if the project requires structural changes. Professionals can also secure the medicine cabinet to the underlying framework, connect electrical lines for integrated lighting and touch up the paint or patch the drywall following the installation.
