Mirror Hanging System
The mirror hanging system consists of two aluminum pieces:
- An angled bar that is attached to the mirror’s back.
- A receiving bar that is attached to the wall.
The two angles interlock to prevent the mirror from falling off the wall.
What You Need to Do
- One part of the hanger is already attached to the mirror. You will need to attach the other part to the wall.
- Screws and anchors are not included with the mirror. You will need to use the appropriate screws and anchors for your wall surface.
- The metal piece that is meant to be mounted on the wall is attached with blue tape.
- For large mirrors, you will need to have the metal piece drilled and have screws provided by your installer.
Best Practices
- The best method for hanging the mirror will depend on the weight of the mirror and the type of wall surface.
- We recommend that all mirrors over 40 pounds use mechanical support, such as an L angle, in addition to the aluminum French cleat already attached to the mirror.
- The most important thing is to make sure that the metal cleat is level before you screw it into the wall.
- Once the metal cleat is level, you can simply match the two metal brackets and hang the mirror.
Safety First
- Always use caution when hanging a mirror.
- Make sure that the mirror is properly supported and will not fall.
- If you are not comfortable hanging the mirror yourself, please hire a professional.
