Default Medicine Cabinets

Hello. We want to upgrade our bathroom medicine cabinet and we found a
really nice oak one at OSH store and the price was very good. The problem
is that the cutout needs to be 16inches and our cutout is only 14.75 and
there are 2 2x4's on each side so the only way would could do it would be to
remove one of the 2x4's. Do you think it would be a problem to remove one
of the 2x4's? It's a small corner wall so I know that a few inches over
there is a corner beam or stud or whatever it is called. Or, does anyone
know where I can find an oak medicine cabinet that has a 14.75 cutout? Ive
done some online searching and there are a million out there, all shapes and
sizes but nothing like what Orchard has. Thanks for any help.

Tom

I mounted my medicine cabinets in front of the wall, my wife
loves it that way it brings the mirror 3.5" closer (makes it look
7" closer)
