NuTone Metro Oval Recessed Medicine Cabinet

Beautiful cabinet with quality construction. I replaced a 30 year old NuTone cabinet--this new one is slightly thinner material,but still okay. The mirror is excellent quality. The old cabinet had holes for screws 1 3/8" from edge to match up with a single stud that would be common. Holes in this new cabinet are 2" from edge which miss the single stud. They provide hollow wall anchors, but I would buy more solid ones to carry a heavier load-- but even this, I fear, would ultimately allow the hinge to flex with continued use. Accordingly, I drilled holes further in to match up with my single stud. If you do this you will need to add a filler to the underside (I used oak) to keep the screw from crushing the metal at that point. I also added bolts through their existing holes to strengthen the hinge attachment as there are two layers of metal at that point-- or you could run screws into the hollow wall as well as into your existing single stud. If you have the option, tear into the wall and add a short stud next to the existing one to bring the anchor point out to 2". In new construction just put in two studs.

This is a beautiful asset to any bathroom. We bought 2 to put over each sink. They were easy to install. The doors swing open either direction.They also have a mirror on the inside. [...]
