when installed using recess method, does any of the cabinet stick out? I am thinking that the standard wall is made with a 2x4 (3.75") and 1/2" board, so that would leave a portion of the cabinet out of the wall. when installed using recess method, does any of the cabinet stick out?

I recessed this and it stands out one inch from wall to allow the door to open. It looks awesome. Holds a ton. We love it!

Mine is installed just deep enough so you can fully open the doors without hitting the wall (there is a portion of the mirrored doors that extend past the frame)

Hi Bruce! The GE-50 can be recessed into the wall 3" with the recess kit model #GE-REC-K. This is sold separately, but not listed currently in our Amazon store. You may contact us at 866.966.1122 to order the recess kit.

My house was built one year ago, standard brand new kitchen with a drawer above the cabinet. it did NOT fit because of the drawer. Close but no cigar. I may try what another poster did and remove the drawer front and replace it with magnets... But then I lose the drawer which we do use.. I wouldn't buy this unless I had a cabinet that does not have a drawer above it.

We mounted ours on 2x4s because it didn't quite align with our studs, so it sticks out a bit more, but if you can mount it directly on the wall, it only sticks out a couple of inches. In terms of how noticeable it would be, I think it depends on your wall color. Ours is on a dark wall, so it's very noticeable. On a white wall, it would be fairly unobtrusive. The only thing to keep in mind is that it's not designed for food, so the materials may not be food safe.

The cabinet can be wall mounted or recess mounted. Mine is wall mounted, which I think is a good way to go given the mirrored sides of the cabinet. However, if I measure the depth of the cabinet from the back to the edge where the door rests it would be 3-¾-inhes.

Hi Jeremy, The back is finished so that you do not have to have this against a wall. It would be in the finish that you selected for the entire unit. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you any further concerns. Sandy, Owner Best Kitchen Products

Sorry I took so long to get back to you, I was gone a few days. I have mine on my kitchen counter, so it is open on 2 sides. I have about 6" from the top of the unit to the bottom of my cabinet. I have it pulled out about 3" from the wall behind it. I didn't find anything in the book about it, but just used common sense, and it has been working fine, no problems.

In Wall.... they are a little smaller in over all size and you need to be sure that there are no hidden wires running through where you choose to install the cabinet but I believe the in wall look much more professional and add more value, make sure you buy a real wood cabinet they look nice.

Hi I am asking if anyone out there has done a custom installation such as the one I am about to do: Remodelling a closet and having a cabinet installed flush into the wall with the bottom half dedicated solely to the Cat Genie. There will be a plumbing hookup inside the cabinet that is exactly like one you have in a laundry room. There will be an electrical hookup also. If you have, are there any "bugs" you encountered that I should address before doing this? (ie. heat, moisture, etc)

Although I have this medicine cabinet, it is wall mounted. It has mirrors on both sides of the box part. If that would fit between studs in your wall, I guess you could make it recessed but that is a guess. Can't Amazon ask the manufacturer?

Hi there,I didn't install on the wall when i saw its size. It was not the size i wanted. So i don't know about the quiz you asked . However, the company was so nice . The return documents was attached. It was returned easily. I think i will buy other size again.

The unit comes with wall Spacers. Apparently some buyers didn't install them or maybe didn't receive them.I have this Its a great home defense safe it will fit snug for standard base board. If you live in a home with some premium base board tile ect it would not be to difficult to ave these modified or just make your own.

Oh.... and.... We didn't install the marker holder, as seen at the bottom of the pic. That will stick out 4" when mounted in wall. We hung a small basket next to the board to hold the markers.Warning: traditional magnets do NOT stick. The included magnets and eraser bar stick well and are enough for us. If we need more, I'm sure they're available for purchase.

The cabinet recesses into the wall but there is still about an inch between the mirror and the wall itself. The cabinet attaches to the studs in the wall by four screws through the sides of the cabinet box. They are screwed in from inside the cabinet with the mirror open. It is very easy. Installation instructions are available on the website for Nutone.

The cabinet fits flush against the wall. The base board has to be cut to accommodate the cabinet.

No, the drawers should recess into the cabinet. I had a terrible time with the slides. The little brass screws that hold the slides must be perfectly flush with the metal or the drawer will not slide back properly. Took me two days to finally get them to fit right (and a little cursing!). Good Luck!

I actually have it surface mounted and not recessed into the wall. Looks great in my opinion. My Wife thinks so as well. I think it is intended to be surface mounted, which is why I chose it. Hope that helps.
