For a large cabinet, wouldn't the best install be to simply cut a hole same size and mount it to the inside on back?

well... the best way to install in your case would be to cut a rectangular hole (make sure you leave enough space for screws) and install the fan inside of your cabinet and have the fan blow out the hot air. Oh and it's also important that you install the fan toward the top of the cabinet (hot air tend to rise and cool air tend to sink so if you install the fan toward the bottom you would be blowing out cool air... which would defeat the purpose of cooling fan).PS If heat is real issue you can install 2 of these (intake fan toward the bottom and out-take fan toward the top). That will keep your cabinet nice and cool (only about +5 to 10 F above room temp depends on size of the cabinet). well... the best way to install in your case would be to cut a rectangular hole (make sure you leave enough space for screws) and install the fan inside of your cabinet and have the fan blow out the hot air.

Absolutely! I placed mine atop my router, which is in a relatively open area. If you're using it in an enclosed area. it's probably best to use it as you mentioned and exhaust the hot air from the space. Keep in mind though that it's not a super high power unit; if you have a lot of heat being generated, you may want a stronger solution.

mh. yes. it is possible. just make sure you have some long thin screws on hand

These fans are not really made to mount in a cabinet like that... I ran into that problem myself... I did go ahead and cut a hole in my cabinet and mounted the best I could and they work fine... These are basically made to just sit beside, under or back of your equipment... You might be a better carpenter than I am and can make it work for you... Hope this helps!

There are two 1" long screws that came with the product. These screws are probably too long and will poke through a cabinet door, you should buy the appropriate length screws to match the thickness of your cabinet.

HiNo need to cut the hole. Yes I just mounted it by finding the studs and driving #8 screws with finish washers through the back. It protrudes about 2 3/4 inches. No problem it looks fine. Remember this is not a high end $200 cabinet. For the price it looks great.

Yes. You might need to add a piece of wood or an additional spacer, if your cabinet trim is long.

I installed my Just like David said. i found where i wanted it center on my cabinet and drilled holes through it. Then used large bolts with washers and tightened it down. good luck with it, its really not that bad.

It needs quite a bit of clearance on all sides, so it would depend on the size of the cabinet.

Yes, but you may have to take the doors off to install! It's a great cabinet.

There are pre-drilled holes on the right side of the cabinet. So changing it would be difficult.

I surfaced mounted mine... I believe it can be installed in the wall. I didn't save the install instructions so I can't verify this. I suggest you go to Kohler web site they will confirm which installation methods they have for this model #. This is a very high quality cabinet and I am very happy with it.......

If you wanted it there, you would have to drill two holes for it as there are two little plastic flanges that have to go through holes. It does have a sticky back so will adhere, but holes are still needed if you want to put it in a place different than where it was meant to go.

you must drill holes in the bottom of the cabinet but might possibly just glue the front andrear with a good permanent adhesive for metal & wood. that should work. i have installed 15 of this brand in my home but with drilled holes only to permit easy screw install'

I would only use the top for mounting and put the bolt on the inside out, there are pre drilled holes.

Yes, it's a piece of cake - use steel drill bit to drill through cabinet and into wall stud, make sure you use the correct cabinet mounting screws that hold up to 50-100lbs. They are generally black, phillips head, coarse thread and the one's i used were about 2" long. You can also use washers under the screw head if it makes you feel better - I didn't need to with the one's I have as the heads themselves are quite large.

Yes. You'd probably have to use different screws than the ones it comes with (since they are fairly long - they would probably go through the cabinet door).

Sure you can choose whatever knobs you wish. If the knobs don't fit on the screws that come with the cabinet, you could drill larger holes or fill existing holes with wood putty if your choose is smaller. I very much like this cabinet ! and bought the matching one (with a mirror) for over the toilet. Have fun !

These can be mounted to the back of the cabinet, rather than the sides, and are very sturdy once installed. I think you should therefore have enough clearance. Why don't you order one. It comes fully assembled, so you will be able to know immediately if it works. It's Amazon; you can always return it if it doesn't work. I love mine. I used them in every cabinet.

You could try but the interior mirror would have to be removed to drill holes in the aluminum cabinet body to attach it. I would not advise it. It is a very good bathroom cabinet the best I have ever installed or used. Attached the way you suggest may not have the support to hold contents. This is because the support screws would be the only support without the inset allowing for wall and cabinet frame support.
