How to Dismantle a Mobile Toilet Cabinet

The dismantling of a mobile toilet cabinet requires adjustments based on its specific fastening method. Refer to the following steps:

1. Tool Preparation

Prepare basic tools in advance: cross/flat-head screwdrivers (for removing screws), adjustable wrench (for loosening pipe connection nuts), hammer (for gently tapping to loosen connections), crowbar (for separating the cabinet from the wall), utility knife (for cleaning up sealant), and protective gloves and goggles (to prevent scratches). If the cabinet uses expansion screws or has stubborn connections, an electric drill can be added to assist with drilling or removal.

2. Safety Preparation

1. Turn off water and electricity: First, shut off the main water valve and power supply to avoid water leakage or electric shock during operation. For bathroom cabinets, loosen the angle valve and open the faucet to drain any remaining water in the pipes.
2. Empty the cabinet: Remove all items from inside the cabinet and any clutter on the countertop. Lay down protective padding (such as old towels) on the floor to prevent scratches or damage from falling objects.

3. Disconnect Pipe Connections

1. Inlet pipe removal: Use a wrench to turn counterclockwise and loosen the connection nuts of the hot and cold inlet pipes to the angle valve. Remove the hoses and place them safely.
2. Outlet pipe handling: Loosen the P-trap or drain bend connection (if rusted, use a screwdriver to hold the notch and assist in turning). If necessary, use a utility knife to cut through aged pipes (new pipes will need to be replaced later).

4. Remove Fasteners

1. Screw fastening: Check the back, inside, or top of the cabinet where it connects to the wall. Use the corresponding screwdriver to turn counterclockwise and remove all visible screws (including those hidden behind decorative covers).
2. Air nail/staple fastening: If no screws are found, the cabinet may be fastened with an air nailer. First, use a utility knife to clean up the sealant at the joint between the cabinet and the wall, then use a crowbar to gently pry from the bottom or side to gradually separate the cabinet.
3. Expansion screws: Use an electric drill to unscrew the head of the expansion screw or assist in drilling to loosen the screw for removal.

5. Separate the Cabinet

After confirming that all fastening points have been removed, one person should hold the cabinet steady while another gently pulls from the bottom or side. If the cabinet is heavy (such as a floor-standing type), it is recommended to have two people collaborate; if the cabinet is tightly adhered to the wall, use a hammer to gently tap around the edges to loosen the connection, avoiding forceful prying that could damage wall tiles or water pipes. If the cabinet is integrated with a sink, first remove the faucet and fastening screws.

6. Post-Removal Handling

1. Clean the wall: Use a scraper or sandpaper to remove residual glue marks and nail holes, and repair any damaged areas (such as filling with putty).
2. Inspect pipes: Ensure that water and electrical pipes are not damaged or displaced to avoid potential hazards during subsequent use.

Precautions: Wear gloves and goggles throughout the operation; if the cabinet has a complex structure (such as a wall-mounted type with a metal bracket), it is recommended to take photos to record the disassembly sequence for easy reassembly; when unsure of the fastening method, first observe the edges or back of the cabinet for hidden screws or glue marks.
