    <description>&lt;P&gt;Thanks&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/50989"&gt;@JacobZ&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I'm hanging a few of these mirrors and have located studs to hang one of them. Are 40mm (4cm) long nail sufficient to hold the 6kg mirror or should I get longer nails due to the weight? Thanks&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

&lt;P&gt;  Dear Bunnings Warehouse&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I am trying to hang this mirror that weighs about 6kg and has 2 hooks. Can you please suggest the best way to hang it on plasterboard.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Should I use 5kg dry wall anchors or hooks ?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thank you&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi &lt;SPAN style="background: var(--ck-color-mention-background); color: var(--ck-color-mention-text);"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/49038"&gt;@judessc&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thank you for your question about hanging a mirror on plasterboard.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;It's great to see you've already had some advice from our helpful member &lt;SPAN style="background: var(--ck-color-mention-background); color: var(--ck-color-mention-text);"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/36305"&gt;@Dave-1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;With anything hung on plasterboard, the best solution is to screw it through the plasterboard into a stud. This transfers the load into the stud which is far better at bearing a load than plasterboard is.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The use of a &lt;A href="https://www.bunnings.com.au/search/products?page=1&amp;amp;q=stud+finder&amp;amp;sort=BoostOrder" target="_blank"&gt;stud finder&lt;/A&gt; makes this a straightforward exercise. You might like to check out &lt;A href="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/How-To/How-to-use-a-stud-finder/ba-p/156038#:~:text=Place%20the%20stud%20finder%20against,you%20are%20near%20a%20stud." target="_blank"&gt;How to use a stud finder&lt;/A&gt; for guidance.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If you are unable to find a stud in the location where you want to hang the clock, I would suggest using 2 x &lt;A href="https://www.bunnings.com.au/ramset-wallmate-plasterboard-anchor-with-screws-and-hooks-4-pack_p2261042" target="_blank"&gt;Ramset WallMate Plasterboard Anchor With Screws And Hooks&lt;/A&gt; as they are rated for 10kg each and come with hooks to hang your mirror from easily.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Let me know if you have any other questions.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Jacob&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/49038"&gt;@judessc&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Just thought I'd add that we have a guide &lt;A href="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/How-To/How-to-hang-just-about-anything/ba-p/87672" target="_self"&gt;How to hang just about anything&lt;/A&gt; which is a great reference for questions like this in future.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Please let us know if you need anything else.&lt;/P&gt;

I'm hanging a few of these mirrors in the main living area, so I don't want the hooks to show once it's hung. Which one in the pic is best for this job ? Thank you&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="IMG20240608123343.jpg" style="width: 3000px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/96420i451FE8ED85645909/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" role="button" title="IMG20240608123343.jpg" alt="IMG20240608123343.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi &lt;SPAN style="background: var(--ck-color-mention-background); color: var(--ck-color-mention-text);"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/49038"&gt;@judessc&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Of the three products you've taken photos of, I would select the &lt;A href="https://www.bunnings.com.au/ramset-super-wallmate-toggle-anchor-10-pack_p2260188" target="_blank"&gt;Ramset Super Wallmate toggle anchors&lt;/A&gt; on the right.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;These anchors, as they are rated up to 20kg, are better at bearing a load than the other two and will be well hidden once the mirror is installed.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Let me know if you need assistance with anything else.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi &lt;SPAN style="background: var(--ck-color-mention-background); color: var(--ck-color-mention-text);"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/49038"&gt;@judessc&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I wouldn't advise that you use a nail. Nails are supposed to be flexible to allow for slight movement in timber. If you use a nail, there is potential that the weight of the mirror will bend the nail over time.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Where a stud is present, I'd advise you to use &lt;A href="https://www.bunnings.com.au/zenith-8-10-x-50mm-treated-pine-countersunk-head-screws-50-pack_p2400010" target="_blank"&gt;Zenith 50mm Countersunk Head Screws&lt;/A&gt;. This will give you plenty of embedment in the timber and plenty of strength.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Let me know if you have any further questions.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Jacob&lt;/P&gt;
