How to hang a heavy mirror

Any picture or mirror weighing more than 10kg is best hung from two points on the wall, with hanging devices attached to corresponding points on the frame.

 

It's best to hook the hanging device onto a screw head in a wall stud, even if it's just on one side.

 

Distribute the weight of a mirror over 10kg across two hanging points on the wall, removing the hanging wire and replacing it with D rings or keyhole plates that hook onto plasterboard or masonry anchors. 

 

Position the rings or plates about one-third of the way down from the top on both sides and secure with screws into the back of the frame.
