Hanging mirror on wall

[Sir Bagalot]

There has to be an easier way to do this.

Have a mirror going on a tiled wall.

The fitting on the back of the unframed mirror are four of these



Now, I don't fancy my luck at getting four screws into tiles that fit them bang on. There is already one screw in the wall where a previous framed mirror hung.

Surely there is some device that I can buy, and plug into the top two brackets, and hang like a framed item?

Heavy duty command strips?

[thebraketester]

Make a template. Job done.

[Mr Pointy]

Replace them with French Cleat mounting brackets:

I agree with above poster, a template would be the method I would use..

[Austin_Metro]

Would you need all 4? Is it that heavy?

2 picture hooks connected by picture wire
Put the hooks in the holes
Drill a hole in the tile
Put a a rawl plug with a screw in the hole
Hang the wire off the screw
Adjust wire length to suit mirror height

[Tailender Investor]

Use tape to connect all 4 fittings on the back of the mirror. Mark the holes on the tape. Transfer the tape template to the wall and drill.

For extra points get your laser level out to make sure your template is square when transferred to the wall.

Or just wire, if it's thick/strong enough. IE an inverted V with an upward hook bent into each end.

Seriously?

Option 1: a spirit level and a ruler. Or a spirit level with a ruler marked on it.

Option 2: pay for someone who is competent.

Sharpie on the white bit. Press against wall. Drill into the +.

Mirror mastic, it’s really easy. I’ve used it to put up mirrors as big as 6 foot square without problem.

[dba7108]

I either use ct1 which sticks everything under the sun. Or make a template. Or use permanent marker or a lipstick etc and put it on the back of the mirror. Imprint onto wall.

[RotorRambler]

Top 2 only should be fine

I did think of that, but it's four holes, 4 screws, if one of them is out by 2 mm, you're fked

You've assumed the brackets are all square. Not an assumption I would make

[BlackTails]

I haven't "assumed" anything.

A ruler will tell you if they are square. If they aren't. either move them so they are, or offset the fixings.

On second thoughts, go with option 2.

[Digger]

Can we see the back of the mirror please & what is the weight?

[Super Sonic]

Make a shelf and put it on there.
