Abstract: A lockable storage compartment can be mounted in and removed from a medicine cabinet housing in a manner similar to that in which the shelves are mounted and removed. The storage compartment includes a fixed panel and a movable panel. The movable panel is connected to the fixed panel by one or more hinges at the forward edge of the fixed panel and can be swung to open or close the storage compartment. The storage compartment may have a catch that is releasable only from inside the storage compartment for preventing removal of the storage compartment from the medicine cabinet when the storage compartment is closed and locked.

Abstract: Shelves that have a length less than the full width of the interior of a medicine cabinet housing may be relocated in housing to accommodate articles of different sizes. The housing has horizontal slots along its side walls and vertical slots on its rear wall. Each shelf fits between a side wall and a vertical slot. One end of each shelf has a tab for engaging the horizontal slots, and the other end has a hook for engaging the vertical slots. Two shelves may be installed in a side-by-side configuration to provide a surface that has a length approximately equal to the full width of the interior of the housing by engaging their hooks in the same vertical slot.
