| Junior Member Join Date: Feb 2015 Location: South Dakota Posts: 21 | Move Medicine Cabinet I am a tall guy so I would like to move the bathroom medicine cabinet up as close to the ceiling as possible. Not moving horizontally, just want to move it up. I tried removing every visible screw but it seems to be attached from behind or something? I was able to get the right side free, but the left side seemed to be attached or possibly glued? I didnt want to pry too hard and break something but would really like to get it moved up if possible. Has anyone moved their medicine cabinet and is it glued or what could be holding it to the wall after all screws were removed? |

| Junior Member Join Date: Mar 2019 Location: Oakland Township Posts: 20 | Moving Medicine Cabinet Thanks hankpage. This proves what is great about a forum like this. I can come up with a question tied to a 4 year old original post and someone like you cares enough to post a reply. We will be back out in the Outback in a couple of weeks and I will give it a shot. I'll post again after I pull the screws and see what happens. I have plenty of thing trim tools and may even take a hair dryer along to see of that might help. I may not have the height issue that 77vetter did, being just 5'10" but when washing my face I do like having it a little closer to the sink than the medicine cabinet will allow unless I put a permanent dent in my forehead. |

See if you meet resistance from glue. You might want to leave in a couple screws on the right side to keep it from failing. Chris __________________ |

Your better off using a new razor blade and working it between the cabinet and the wall. __________________ Now an RVIA registered tech. Retired from Law enforcement in 2008 after 25+ yrs. |

The line or wire is not going to go into the wall. It is just moved back and forth between the wall and cabinet. __________________ |

| Site Team Join Date: Jul 2014 Location: Modesto Posts: 15,068 | Guess I read it wrong. We always use a very thin blade and once it starts pulling free we continue �working� the edge. I have removed lots of stuff without damage to the wall this way. It�s not fast but it saves having to order/replace panels. __________________ Now an RVIA registered tech.

| Junior Member Join Date: Mar 2019 Location: Oakland Township Posts: 20 | Thanks all. The picture on the original post isn't mine, but that of 77vetter. Mine is a mirror image (2011 Outback 260FL) with the shower on the right and the wall on the left. I like the "sawing" idea. I have used dental floss for that type of action several times with pretty good success. Like Snoking says, it is tight. I will try this if it doesn't come down when I remove the screws, and probably start at the top and work my way down. I can put a couple of screws in at the bottom to keep it from crashing down. |
