Fixing up a 1950s prefab house. Recessed medicine cabinet was rusted
beyond repair, and space limitations would make a surface-mount
unattractive.

Rough opening is about 19.5" high and 29.5" wide. Can anyone please
suggest a source for a recessed unit to fit in this space?

Thanks very much!

You'll have to frame in a new opening, just like people do for a
window that is wider than the spacing between studs. no a biggie
unless the wall is a supporting wall.

I was thinking sort of the same thing. If the door is decent, it would
talke little effort to make a back and four sides -- doesn't have to
be rabbited or anything -- and provision for shelves. It would
impress the OP's friends. It could be even bigger than the door
maybe, the maximum size that will fit in the space.

Even a new door wouldn't be so hard to make. Coudl be attached after
the rest was in place.
