Oil Rubbed Bronze Medicine Cabinet

To hang an oil-rubbed bronze medicine cabinet, you’ll need to first find a wall stud in the mounting area by using a stud finder.The best place to install a medicine cabinet is on a wall stud since it’s quite heavy and may fall off if not fastened to a wall framing. Next, level the medicine cabinet and mark the pre-drilled holes that come with the medicine cabinet on the wall. You can then begin drilling pilot holes into the stud and use screws to secure the cabinet from top to bottom.

You may also use drywall anchors, toggle bolts, or pin nails if a wall stud isn’t available. Toggle bolts are a great choice for heavy oil rubbed bronze medicine cabinets whereas drywall anchors are also sturdy but much easier to install. If you do decide to make use of pin nails to mount your medicine cabinet, make sure they’re strong enough to support its weight. 1-1/4" long pin nails are ideal for most bathroom cabinets.

An oil-rubbed bronze medicine cabinet will typically come in one of two general styles: Minimal and modern, or ornate, intricate, and baroque. Within these styles there are nuances—for example, a simple, minimal medicine cabinet could veer either modern or industrial depending on its specific finish and the way you decorate.

Think about how much detail you’d like to have in your bathroom, as it’s likely a smaller space. If you want your medicine cabinet to be a standout visual effect, it may be worth it to invest in a more detailed and ornate oil-rubbed cabinet.
