What You Will Need for the Job:<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\nYou can get all the tools and supplies you need for this job at any local hardware or home improvement store. You can also find them online through similar retailers. Now remember, these tools and instructions for simply prepping your wall for hanging a mirror. The actual hanging part will simply require you to have patience and precision! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25ba Stud Finder
\u25ba Pencil
\u25ba Weight Scale
\u25ba Thumb Tack
\u25ba Angle Brackets
\u25ba Wall Anchors<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With these supplies, you are fully-equipped to prepare your wall for hanging a heavy mirror. Here is how to get started:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 1<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nIdentify the type of wall you are hanging your mirror on. This is an important step because it determines whether or not your mirror hanging hardware is compatible for the job or not. Use a thumbtack to penetrate the wall. If it goes in easily, you are dealing with drywall. However, if it resists, you might have a plaster wall or a wall made from masonry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 2<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nContinue your handyman project by using your stud finder to locate the necessary wall studs for hanging your mirror. Remember that studs might be connected to nearby outlets, faucets, and other utilities, so be careful making your selection. Always use a pencil to mark the center of the wall stud once you are set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 3<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nYour next step is to examine your mirror for the proper hardware. New mirrors often come fitted with angle brackets, which are the pieces of hardware that go in the corners for hanging. Sometimes, the hardware will come with the mirror, but you have to attach it yourself. If you are hanging an antique mirror, it might not have any brackets at all. If this is the case, reinforce your mirror with your own angle brackets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 4<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nBefore you actually place the mirror on the wall, weight it first. Although the weight limits to hardware like angle brackets are listed on the package by the manufacturer, you cannot always trust them to be accurate. So, just hold it in your hands and step on a weight scale, like the one in your bathroom, to see just how much it really weighs. Be sure you remember to subtract your own weight from the number on the scale! Then double check to see that your hardware can oblige.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
