Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between surface mount and recessed?
Surface mount cabinets attach to the wall surface — no cutting required. Recessed cabinets sit inside a cutout between studs for a flush finish. Surface mount is easier to install, rent-friendly, and works on any wall.
Can I surface mount a cabinet that says "recessed"?
Many medicine cabinets support both — including MC002, MC001, MC006, and MC011. Check the product description; if it says "surface mount or recessed," you can install it either way.
How do I install a surface mount medicine cabinet?
Mark your studs, drill pilot holes, insert wall anchors if needed, hang the cabinet on screws, and level it. Installation hardware is included. No drywall cutting or framing required.
Which surface mount cabinet has outlets?
MC002 has 2 grounded outlets + 2 USB ports. MC010 has 2 outlets. Both are frontlit LED models with dimming and defogger.
What size cabinet do I need?
Measure your wall space. For single vanities, 16x24 to 24x32 works well. For double vanities or larger walls, consider 30x36, 48x32, or even 60x32. All sizes are listed on each product page.
Are there round surface mount cabinets?
Yes — We offer two round options: a 20" non-LED round cabinet ($169.99, 93 reviews) and a round LED cabinet in 24"–30" ($269.99, 22 reviews).
Do surface mount cabinets come with shelves?
Yes. Every medicine cabinet includes adjustable tempered glass shelves. The number varies by model — most have 2–3 shelves included.
What's the warranty?
All Tetote medicine cabinets come with a 3-year warranty, free replacement for defects, and lifetime customer support by phone or email.
