How to hang heavy mirror on wall without studs.

Unfortunately studs are seldom if ever positioned. If screwing into a stud you ll likely only need a 3 inch screw this gets the screw through 1 inch of plaster wall and 2 inches deep into the stud. If you re hanging a heavy mirror on plaster without a stud your best bet is a hollow wall anchor such as a toggle bolt that expands and secures behind the plaster wall. Why heavy mirrors are best hung with wire hangers while a good number of mirrors and other wall art are made to hang with wire hangers many others are made with sawtooth hardware d rings keyholes or double keyholes.

There s even a locking clip. The mirror s been hanging for a few years now and has endured several small earthquakes out here in so. Locating it over a stud is helpful but not necessary with the right anchors. Ideally you want to hang heavy things from your walls by using the studs as the anchor.

I am trying to hang a 75 pound mirror on a brick wall. If you have a bathroom scale simply step onto the scale while holding the item and record the weight. I ve used drywall anchors to hang a very heavy mirror 50 ponds. Subtract the second number from the first and you ll have the weight of the item.

Then step onto the scale without the item and record the weight. However this isn t always possible especially if there s an exact location you want something hung and there s not a stud behind it. Determine the weight of the item you ll be hanging onto the wall. I have 100 pound gauge wire doubled heavy duty hooks and masonry nails but i m still afraid it s going to fall.

The anchor is rated fir the weight without a stud. Pick a spot to hang the mirror.
