Now that the benefits are clear, let's move on to the installation process.
Tools and Materials You'll Need
Before you get started, gather the following tools and materials to ensure a smooth installation:
· Drill with appropriate drill bits
· Level
· Measuring tape
· Stud finder
· Screwdriver
· Wall anchors (if not drilling into studs)
· Screws (usually provided with the cabinet)
· Pencil
· Safety goggles
· Wall-mounted medicine cabinet (Wellfor's high-quality cabinets are a perfect choice!)
Having everything ready will save you time and ensure the process is seamless.
Step-by-Step Guide to Installing a Wall-
Mounted Medicine Cabinet
Follow these steps carefully to secure your cabinet and use your space best.
Step 1: Determine Placement
Decide where your wall-mounted medicine cabinet should go. It should be easily accessible and positioned over the sink or vanity for convenience.
· Use a stud finder to locate studs in the wall. For added stability, it is recommended that the cabinet be installed into studs.
· Measure the height to ensure accessibility. A typical height is about 57-60 inches from the floor to the cabinet's center, but it may vary depending on your preference.
Step 2: Mark the Wall
Once you've determined placement:
1. Use a pencil to mark where the cabinet will sit.
2. Hold the cabinet against the wall and trace its outline.
3. Mark the drilling points for screws, ensuring they align with the cabinet's mounting holes.
Pro Tip: Use a level to ensure everything is straight. Uneven cabinets can look unappealing and may lead to functionality issues.
Step 3: Prep the Wall
If you're not drilling into studs:
· Install wall anchors to provide enough support for the cabinet. Follow the anchor manufacturer's instructions for installation.
If you are drilling into studs:
· No anchors are needed; screws will provide sufficient support.
Step 4: Drill Pilot Holes
Drill pilot holes where you marked the screw points. This step prevents the drywall from cracking and makes screw installation easier.
Safety Tip: Wear safety goggles to protect your eyes from flying debris during this process.
Step 5: Attach the Mounting Bracket (if applicable)
Some cabinets come with a separate mounting bracket. If yours includes one:
1. Attach the bracket to the wall using screws and ensure it's level.
2. The cabinet will later hang securely on the bracket.
If no bracket is included, move on to the next step.
Step 6: Mount the Medicine Cabinet
Carefully lift the wall-mounted medicine cabinet and align it with the pre-drilled holes or mounting bracket. With the help of a second person:
· Secure the cabinet to the wall using screws.
· Tighten the screws to ensure the cabinet is firmly in place.
Step 7: Adjust and Organize
· Test the cabinet doors to ensure they open and close smoothly.
· Adjust the interior shelves to suit your storage needs.
· Organize your essentials inside the cabinet.
Congratulations! Your wall-mounted medicine cabinet is now installed and ready to use.

Consider Interior Lighting

Ensure Proper Care and Maintenance
Wipe down your cabinet regularly with a soft, damp cloth to keep it clean and pristine.
