How to Install a Wall-Mounted Bathroom Cabinet

Wall-mounted bathroom cabinets are a great way to add storage and style to your bathroom. They're also a relatively easy DIY project that you can complete in a few hours.

Materials You'll Need

* Wall-mounted bathroom cabinet * Level * Pencil * Drill * Screws * Anchors (if needed) * Stud finder (optional)

Instructions

1. Choose a location for the cabinet. The cabinet should be mounted at a height that's comfortable for you to reach. It should also be placed in a location where it won't interfere with other fixtures or appliances. 2. Mark the location of the cabinet on the wall. Use a level to make sure that the cabinet will be hung straight. Mark the top and bottom of the cabinet on the wall. 3. Find the studs in the wall. If you're not sure where the studs are located, you can use a stud finder to locate them. Studs are vertical supports that run from the floor to the ceiling. They're typically spaced 16 inches apart. 4. Drill pilot holes for the screws. Drill pilot holes through the marks you made on the wall. The pilot holes should be slightly smaller than the screws you're using. 5. Insert the screws into the pilot holes. If you're mounting the cabinet into drywall, you'll need to use anchors. Insert the anchors into the pilot holes and then screw the screws into the anchors. 6. Hang the cabinet on the screws. Lift the cabinet onto the screws and make sure that it's level. Tighten the screws until the cabinet is secure.

Tips

* If you're not sure how to install the cabinet, consult with a professional. * Make sure that the cabinet is securely mounted to the wall. A loose cabinet could fall and cause injury. * If you're mounting the cabinet into drywall, use anchors to ensure that the screws will hold. * Use a level to make sure that the cabinet is hung straight.
