Hey All,
I am looking to install two arch mirror in living, one on top and the other, upside down, on bottom.
Wall is plaster and have a stud in the middle of the wall only.
Each mirror weighs approx 5.2kg.
I dont see much issue with installing the top one.
Bottom one doesnt seem that straight forward.
Since the mirror has two anchor points towards the top of it, I fear that flipping the mirror upside down will be a problem. I am afraid that there are chances the mirror will fall forward if its not anchored appropriately.
Hence looking to have some ideas on how can I install new anchor points on back of the mirror OR a technique I can use while hanging that will make it safe.
Any feedback will be appreciated.
Hello @saeedkhan01
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about mounting your mirror upside down.
I propose opening one of the mirrors backing board and finding out if the round white mounting clips can be removed and repositioned at the bottom. However, if the white clips are permanently fixed in place, I propose installing Everhang 15kg Zinc Plated Heavy Duty D Ring while you have the backing board away from the mirror.
Should the screws of the "D" rings be too long, I recommend using a Trojan 3 Piece File Set to file down the protruding screws. Once the screw tips have been filed away you can now re-install the backing board back onto the mirror. You should now be able to mount the mirror upside down.
Let me call on our experienced members @Dave-1 and @Nailbag for their recommendations.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.
