Hi what anchor or plug do I use to hang a mirror that weighs 9kgs.
Not stud where I want to hang it.
Thanks
Hello @cruisenwithdan
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your mirror.
Generally, I would suggest using QEP 6mm Diamond Tile Drill Bit to drill through the tile. I then recommend the Ramset 6 x 38mm Universal Anchor - 6 Pack in combination with the Everhang 20kg Heavy Duty Solid Wall Picture Hanging Hooks. But if the hooks are not compatible with your mirror, can you please post a photo of the hook system used at the back of the mirror. Once we see it, we'll be able to offer recommendations on what hooks to use.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Thanks Eric,
Would one hook or two be best?
Hi @cruisenwithdan,
I'd suggest you use two hooks, as in a hollow wall situation, the anchor is only rated to 7kg. Being a 9kg mirror, you will need two to support this weight.
Make sure you install them perfectly level with each other to ensure the mirror hangs straight.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
