Tools Required for Installation
GlassCrafters recommends the following tools to prop-
erly and safely install your Mirrored Cabinets.
A. Safety Glasses -- should be worn at all times
B. Tape Measure
C. Level
D. #2 Phillips Head Screw Driver
E. Power Screw Driver
F. Electric Drill
G. 8mm 3/16” Masonry Drill Bit
H. 7/32” Drill Bit
I. Non Ammonia Household Glass Cleaner
J. Soft Paper Towels
Single Cabinet width “R.O.” Rough Opening formula:
Overall cabinet width less 5/8” = Rough Opening
Example: Model R-VTS-16 = 15” overall width less 5/8” = 14 3/8” R.O. width.
Example:
Two (2) 30” height cabinets = 60” + 3/16” = 60 3/16” R.O. Height
Rough Opening Height: overall cabinet height + 3/16” = R.O. Height.
Important: Make sure you allow for a
minimum of 1” clearance above or below any
obstructions to the door swing such as:
at the top -- light xtures; and
at the bottom baseboard trim, cabinets &
heating elements.
Rough Opening:
Note: Cabinet installs over nished wall with
sheetrock and/or tile nishes completed. 3/4”
Flange on all sides of the cabinet will cover
the remaining space in the R.O.

below the hinge plates (as shown). Do not overtighten.
Cover screws with four screw caps (part #434).
D. Place the VTS spacer on the top front of the bottom
cabinet. Test t the top cabinet. Check that it is plumb and
level.
E. Clean the top of the base cabinet to insure that the
spacer tape will rmly adhere. Remove tape covering and
attach spacer to the bottom cabinet. (DO NOT REMOVE
THE TAPE COVER FOR THE TOP UNIT UNTIL YOU
TEST FIT AGAIN.)
F. Remove the top tape covering and re-install the cabi-
net and attach in place on the spacer. Make sure that the
VTS Spacer ts properly between the top and bottom
Cabinets.Fix to the the studs with four (4) #10 x 1 1/2”
wood screws (supplied).
Installing a
Recessed & Semi-Recessed
Mirrored Cabinet
A. Determine the rough opening for the cabinet. Refer to
“R.O.” formula chart on page 3. Opening must be plumb
and level.
B. Cabinet can be hinged on left or right. Simply ip the
cabinet to change hinge location. For multiple cabinet
units determine the hinge location for each unit before
they are joined together and mark the top of each unit.
C. Insert Bottom cabinet in R.O. and center, Cabinet
Flange covers any space in the R.O. around the cabinet
and should cover the nished surfaces--Sheetrock and/or
tile.
Install the cabinet with four (4) #10 x 1 1/2” wood
screws (supplied). Use the pre-punched holes above and

Installing a Surface Mounted Vertical Tier System Mirrored Cabinet
A. Determine the desired height and use a level to
mark a horizontal line. Be sure to allow a minimum
clearance of 1” above and below any light xture, ob-
struction and plumbing xtures. Remember the base of
the cabinet box is 3/4” smaller than the face and the
door.
B. After the bottom wall mount bracket is properly fas-
tened to the wall, unpack the VTS Wall Bracket, VTS-
Spacer, Plastic Wall Anchors and Screws from the
package.The VTS Spacer & Brackets will give you the
exact height for the top cabinet.
C. Determine the desired hinge side of the cabinet;
place the bottom cabinet into the bottom wall mount
bracket (see step 1). Place the VTS Wall Bracket on
the top ange of the bottom cabinet as illustrated (see
step 2). Mark and drill (2) 7/32” holes in the VTS Wall
Bracket. It is recommended that you try and locate a
wall stud to fasten the #10 x 1 1/2” Phillips head wall
anchor screws. Drill (2) matching holes into the wall
with a 3/16” masonry bit. Insert the #10 PWA Plastic
wall anchors into the wall holes and tap ush with the
wall.
D. Place the VTS Wall bracket into position and fasten
to the wall.
E. Clean the top section of the bottom medicine cabi-
net, free of any dust or debris.
F. The VTS Spacer is prepped with double sided
mounting tape and one strip of Decorative Chrome
Plated nish trim for the exposed spacing. Remove the
tape cover and carefully place the VTS Spacer on the
top of the bottom cabinet. The VTS Spacer is designed
to snugly t up against the frontedge. (See gure 2). The
two-sided tape is very strong; make sure you position
the VTS Spacer correctly before you apply adhesion
pressure. The VTS Spacer will be very difficult to remove
if installed incorrectly.
G. It is now time to place the top cabinet into position.
Make sure the hinges are on the same side as the bot-
tom cabinet. Slide (2) Top Surface Mount Brackets (425-
00) into the top-mounting groove. It is recommended to
dry t the cabinet into position before removing the tape-
from the VTS Spacer. Mark the top holes for the top sur-
face mount brackets, drill and install (2) plastic wall
anchors #10 PWA. You may have to adjust the VTS Wall
Bracket Screw to t the top cabinet into position.
H. Remove the tape from the VTS Spacer; carefully
place the top cabinet into position. Fasten the Top Sur-
face Mount Wall Brackets with (2) wall anchor screws
(Step 3). Make sure the VTS Spacer is ush with both
cabinets. Peel off the protective tape from the VTS nish
trim.

Glass Shelves Installation
After the Mirrored Cabinet box has been properly in-
stalled, determine the appropriate height and location for
the glass shelves.
Note: make sure the back wall mirror has been
completely cleaned after installation. If cleaning the back
wall mirror is necessary, use a household non-ammonia
glass cleaner
.
Cleaning Recommendations:
Never use abrasive cleaners or cleaners containing
ammonia. This may cause chemical damage to the
mirror and void the warranty.
2 x 24” Height Series (54”H) = 4 Shelves + 16 Shelf Clips
2 x 30” Height Series (60’H) = 6 Shelves + 24 Shelf Clips
2 x 36” Height Series (72”) = 8 Shelves + 32 Shelf Clips
For cleaning the mirror, we recommend using
“ammonia free” Sprayway brand glass cleaner,
which is available at a variety of retail outlets.
www.spraywayinc.com/content/glass-cleaner
Each glass shelf will require four (4) shelf
clips. Use care when handling the non-tem-
pered glass shelves. On a level plane insert
the shelf clips into the pre-punched holes. The
clips are designed for a tight tension t to hold
the shelf. Place each glass shelf on the top of
the left clip rst, then slowly lower onto the
right clip with a snap t.
After glass shelves are installed insert hole plugs in all
open holes to complete installation.
