a beautiful mirror brings character to a room, but it also but it also makes a space feel bigger and brighter because of its reflective properties. and since a great mirror becomes a natural focal point of a room, it's important to hang it properly. begin by having all the appropriate hanging hardware and tools. level, tape measure, stud finder, no 2 philips screwdriver or drill with a philips drill bit, pencil, and the hanging hardware included with your mirror. with the help of another person, hold your mirror up to the wall to decide where you'd like it to hang. us the pencil to mark roughly where the top of the mirror will fall.
then, flip the mirror so the d-rings or keyhole brackets are in view. and make a pencil mark at the level where the d-ring will hang on each side. use a level to make sure that the two marks are level. you can measure the distance between each mark and the floor, making sure the distances are equal. measure the distance between the center of both d-rings on the back of your mirror, making insertion marks for each d-ring at the level you previously determined was best. another quick way to get the measurements for your insertion marks is to place a piece of painter's tape across the back of the mirror
over the d-rings, and then poke two holes in the tape, over the center of the d-ring. place the tape on the wall, centered between the lines that you previously marked. use a stud finder to determine if your insertion marks are aligned with the stud. if they are aligned with the stud, us the provided stud screws and screw directly into the wall at your mark using a philips screwdriver or drill with a philips drill bit. if your insertion marks do not align with the stud, us the philips screwdriver to instal the provided anchor or toggle on your insertion marks. continue rotating until the large flange becomes even with the surface of the wall,
do not over-tighten. install the provided screw into the anchor or toggle, and rotate until the screw head is about one quarter inch from the wall. with the help of another person, lift the mirror so that the d-rings align with the protruding screw heads. lower the mirror so that each screw head captures each respective d-ring, and supports the mirror. do not let go of the mirror until you are sure that each screw is firmly holding a d-ring.
