Help with a household project

[josh_the_hot_boy]

So I have this mirror 5' x 4' and I want to hang it on my walls its weighs at least 100 pounds maybe 100-150 I'm going to go to Home Depot an ask them but I was wondering if anybody had any experience with this stuff and could give me some tips.

Thanks Josh.

I used a thumbtack to hang up my wall organizer.. maybe use thumbtack also ?

 

[rednaxela]

5x4 is a lot bigger and heavier than a wall organizer. Thumbtacks won't hold 100-150 pounds of dead weight.

Does the mirror have a frame?

and what type of wall will you be hanging it from? Sheet rock? Lathe and plaster?

 

[josh_the_hot_boy]

It has no frame and its drywall. Yeah know cheap apartment cheap wall. Its gonna hang right next to my bed so It can't fall otherwise not so good.

He said install the Anchor without the screw first then insert the screw into the mirror clip and into the anchor then hang the mirror. He said 2 on top and 2 on bottom 4" from each side.

Does that sound good? The guy was kinda rude idk I kinda want A second opinion.

Those will work but, just to be on the safe side I'd make sure that they were screwed into the wall studs and not just the drywall...

Good Idea Don't want to take any chances its going to be hanging right next to my bed so if it falls I'm going to be the first thing it hits.

dude - definitely try to hang a couple deep screws into studs (OOHH!! Why did my cock just jump up?...mmmm) ANYWAY - you do want a solid anchor for a mirror that heavy. I'd be glad to MOUNT IT for you if I was closer.....(grrrr)
