Looks great and really adds utility

Our master bathroom always seemed to be short of toilet paper. This cabinet purchased online from www.HoleInTheWallProducts.com solved our problem.

Locate a place for the cabinet

After locating the studs in the wall and establishing where I wanted the cabinet to be, I traced the template that came with the cabinet in preparation for cutting the hole.

Cutting the hole

Using a straight edge and utility knife I cut my hole following the outline I traced from the template. I used a utility knife but a drywall saw would work fine too.

This is a good Idea

Following a suggestion from the web site, I stored the cut-out piece in the wall just in case I wanted to take the cabinet with me if I moved. I would then have a piece of drywall pre-cut to fit the opening for a drywall repair.

Identifying the cut-out

I simply attached some fishing line to the patch piece and taped it to the wall with masking tape and labeled it. This is not necessary, just something I thought was a good idea down the road

Installing the cabinet

The cabinet, called a Paper Pantry, has a cleat on the bottom that will engage the bottom edge of the drywall when installed and lowered into place.

Install the bracket

The bracket that comes with the Paper Pantry simply slides up though a slot in the top of the cabinet and is fastened with two screws.

Tighten the screws

When the two screws are tightened, the bracket securely clamps the cabinet to the wall.

Removing the old dispenser

This was a simple drywall repair. Just cut the old one out. There is usually something behind it.

Install a patch

There was a stud behind the old dispenser so I cut a patch to fit, put a little construction adhesive around the edges and screwed it to the stud.

A good patch

A tip from an old drywall guy I knew has allways worked well for me. On small openings, rather than going around it with tape, I use a piece of kraft paper, a paper grocery bag works well. Cut to fit about an inch over sized all around. Mud the wall for the paper to stick and then finish as you would a normal tape joint.

This works great

This has worked out great. It keeps the paper close by, clean and out of sight.

A beautiful addition

My wife liked it so much, I put one in every bathroom in our house. Four to be exact. They're great!
