It's not completely flush, it is about an inch away. But this gives you room to put your fingers behind the mirror to open the cabinet. The holes are in the side so that it can be screwed into the studs.

Can the door be hinged to open on either side? If not, does it open to the right or left.

Mine is pretty flush, cut between the studs and screw in from the sides, not the back.

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.

I cut a hole in the sheetrock to fit it in so that it is flush to the wall. There are no holes on the back but it's very easy to just put a screw through it

I mounted mine in my garage without any problems. I noticed the width of the bracket also, so I just put a slight angle on my screws as mounted the bracket. Both screws hit the "meat" of the stud. I also used a magnetic stud finder to find my stud, drew a small line at the center of the stud, then centered the bracket on that line and screwed it in.

Hi Mike. Yes, I mounted this unit to the finished walls in my house. First, to answer your question, there is no damage to the drywall associated with the installation. The 4 holes you drill are hidden behind the mounting plates. However, the unit is pretty close to the wall, and I've had some...minor yet unexpected issues from use. First is that it's easy for your feet to strike the wall when doing pull-ups. Once you start exerting yourself, it's easy for your feet to swing around a bit. Avoid wearing shoes and this shouldn't be an issue. Secondly, I've noticed that over time, there are some stains on the wall that I can only assume are coming from sweat or saliva when I'm grunting out the final reps. As for installation, I have a couple tips that I uncovered while installing mine. First, find the center of just one stud. I use a stud finder, but then used a 1/64" drill bit to drill to the left and right, so when I was off the stud on each side, I could split the difference and be sure I was in the exact center. This unit mounts with large lag screws, and if you are not in the middle it could break out during use...anyway, then what you want to do is mount this first unit to the wall, but only tighten up the lag screw just unit the unit holds itself on the wall. Then, mount the pull-up cross bar to the wall mount, just getting it slightly snug. Then, place the second wall mount up and bolt the cross bar to it, finger tight. Using a level, parallel the mounting plates and mark your holes. This is important because there is very little play between the cross bar and the mounts; if you are off by even a little bit, the bolts won't drop into place. By having the cross bar in place and finger tight before you drill your second set of holes solves this. Oh, one last thing. The foam grips are comfortable, but don't hold up well at all if you are using gloves. Be prepared to buy some rubberized grip tape within a few months. All in all, this is a very solid unit for the price, and I'd buy one again. Best, Bill.

Before I say anything else USE A LEVEL WHEN INSTALLING. A crooked cup holder is very noticeable. (Exception: if it is near a crooked door frame or shelf, you may want to match the tilt of the bigger permanent thing.) I don't remember if this came with mounting hardware (I feel like it didn't). Anyway, no product (from any manufacturer) is going to come with the proper wall mounting hardware. I suggest that you go to the hardware store and buy some "mollies" or "toggles" (http://amzn.com/B0051IB63Q for reference) They will be cheaper in smaller quantities, but it may not hurt to order 20 from amazon because they are VERY helpful. First just use the supplied screw (from the molly kit) in the desired mounting location to see if you hit a stud. If you are hitting a stud, don't bother using the plastic wall toggle, you are good to go. If you do not hit a stud, use the supplied (from the molly kit) plastic screw-in wall toggle. And please MAKE IT LEVEL.

Yes, I wall mounted mine. I was nervous at first that it may be too heavy to hang but it's perfect. And no, the sound is not affected by wall mounting it, what so ever.

It does not come with a wall mount. I Used a generic mount purchased from another store previously. When shopping ensure you look for a mount that uses the studs as it is the safest. Also whether or not you wish to tilt the tv up or down based on viewing position.

Teisha is right about the brackets. However, instead of using the brackets as intended, just use the main half of the bracket and screw it to the wall instead of the other half of the bracket. That would be simple.

I simply screwed it to the wall with the screws supplied. It's better if you can locate the wall studs or you will need to use plastic sheetrock fasteners after drilling the appropriate sized holes.

There are holes in the back of the cabinet. It is rather weighted, so someone will need to put some heavy duty anchors into the wall first. Then, someone needs to line up the cabinet with the anchors, and screw it into the anchor thru those holes. Suggestion: Buy the heavy duty wall anchors and screws. I never trust the ones that are put in the box.

I will gladly send photos of my installation (I tried to insert a photo and couldn't, if you know how let me know) I ran into a situation where the new mounting sights where the shower rod attaches to the wall was not at a point where a wall stud was located. I used a screw-in drywall anchor (like the The Hillman Group 41408 Self-Drilling Hollow Wall Anchor found on Amazon)

No it attaches to the wall in the front. You just find the stud and use the screws to attach it to the wall. They also give you a screw that holds it to the drywall also because it will fit just on one stud. It won't go to the other stud. So you use one stud on one side and the drywall screw on the other.

I have mine mounted on the wall. Easy install. There are instructions as to where to mount it with the item.

Ok so theoretically you can mount this on a brick wall, you will need to use different screws as the ones supplied are for wooden studs. I myself have mine mounted on a stud less wall and had to use anchors to hold. I would buy the bracket and consult Lowes or Home Depot about how best to secure it into brick.

Hey Jim, My version didn't have a mounting option. When I reviewed it, this was one of the suggestions I made. I have put some double sided tape on it and it has been holding up pretty well.

I see there are a cou[le of holes on the back to hook it onto. Its seems to be light enpugh to hang on a wall in decent shape. My wall space is taken by closets so I didnt have a place to hang it. Wish I could hang it. Hope this answers your question.

To work, the rack must be mounted securely--which means using screws. Mine is mounted to a wooden cabinet, just like others I have had. I have never mounted one on a wall.

Harold: Bought my unit two weeks ago and just installed it last night. My desk too is up against a wall... and it works just fine. As you expand the unit for standing, the legs stay put on your desk but the monitor platform moves forward... so a wall is no obstacle. That help?
