You're kidding! I have been looking at the ugliest cabinet that came with my home for years because I thought it would be a pain to change.😅 APPRECIATE YOU.
usually these are designed to fit within the standard stud spacing of 16inches on center, so the width with typically be the same. The height may vary a bit, but for the most part they are a standard size.
Old silver-haired Granny here. What I need to know is. . . do I buy the new cabinet using the measurement of the hole in the wall, or the outside measurement of the replacement cabinet?
My issue is Home Depot doesn't carry the size I need, 15x24. So a $20 cabinet project suddenly became $100+ because for reasons unknown 15x24 is way more expensive to make than 15x26. May just slap a mirror over the hole
My medicine cabinet was just placed on the wall itself, not recessed in the wall. I took it off hoping to replace it but make the cutout to make it recessed in the wall. But I saw there was a stud behind it and I’m afraid to cut the stud or if it can even be cut at all. I’m afraid I might screw something up that I can’t fix.
You would want to center the cabinet between the studs, if that doesn’t work you could cut the stud, but you would have to frame around it before you installed the cabinet.
