A lot of homeowners don’t like the looks of a traditional medicine cabinet, and consequently want it removed. There are two methods of installation; surface mounted or recessed.
A surface mounted medicine cabinet is very easy. Imagine just sticking the medicine cabinet to the wall…it simply mounts to the surface. It will be held in place with four screws, one in each corner. Remove the bottom screws first, support the weight of the cabinet, and remove the top screws. You will have to repair the small screw holes in the drywall, but this will be easy with either drywall compound or spackle.
A recessed medicine cabinet will be more challenging. Start by using a sharp utility knife and cutting the caulking bead around the perimeter of the cabinet. The recessed cabinet will also be held in place by screws. Look for one in each corner and remove them, then gently goose the cabinet out of the hole. You will be left with a drywall hole in your wall to repair. Since the recessed medicine cabinet is usually sandwiched between two wall studs, you will have to patch the hole, and blend it in with the surrounding surface. Here is an article on drywall repair.
