Cutting a metal medicine cabinet for outlet

11 years ago

I would like to use a KOHLER Single Door 15-Inch by 26-Inch by 5-Inch Aluminum Medicine Cabinet in an existing opening for a medicine cabinet. The electrician has installed the box for an outlet inside the cabinet. It's an exterior wall - so the outlet is going on the side like some other pictures I've seen here on GW.

Will it be easy to cut the metal of the medicine cabinet? The plastic cabinets are too plastic looking for my tastes. The only mirrored wood medicine cabinet I have found is from Restoration Hardware and a GW member has posted about some serious flaws in a RH mirrored medicine cabinet that make me shy away from that choice.
