How to attach hook or loop to heavy mirror for hanging on a wall?

Carly1985

Hello, I have a heavy mirror (approx 20kg) that I need to hang on a brick wall. The mirror has been detached from a dressing table and as such doesn't have anything on the back from which to hang it on the wall. What is the best and most secure method of affixing something to the back? I'm thinking to string a wire between the two supports? Thanks!

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Carly1985. It's terrific to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about hanging a mirror.

The Everhang 20kg Picture Hanging Kit is rated sufficiently for your project. Just ensure the mirror is under 20kg. For the wall mount, I'd recommend one of these Stahl Masonry kits. They include the masonry drill bit, wall plug and screw. One fixing should be sufficient, but if you are at the 20kg weight, then I'd pop two in the wall next to each other to share the load.

Here's a helpful step-by-step guide: How to drill into brick.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
