What You Will Need

- Screwdriver
- Level
- Tape measure
- Pencil
- Wall anchors (if necessary)
- Screws (provided with the mirror)
Step 1: Measure and Mark
Using a tape measure, determine the desired height and position for your mirror on the wall. Once you’re satisfied, use a pencil to mark the spots where the mirror brackets will go. Ensure your marks are level and accurately measured.
Step 2: Install Wall Anchors (if necessary)
If you are mounting the mirror on a drywall or plaster wall, it’s essential to use wall anchors to provide extra support. Carefully follow the instructions provided with the wall anchors to install them securely.
Step 3: Attach the Brackets
Using a cordless drill or screwdriver, attach the brackets to the marked spots on the wall. Make sure to use the appropriate screws provided with the mirror. Tighten them securely, but avoid overtightening as it may cause damage.
Step 4: Hang the Mirror
Gently lift the mirror and hang it on the brackets. Make sure it is aligned properly and levelled. Take a step back and ensure the mirror looks straight from multiple angles. Adjust if necessary.
Step 5: Secure the Mirror (optional)
If you want extra stability and security, consider using mirror adhesive or clear silicone caulk to attach the mirror to the wall. Apply a small amount to the bottom corners of the mirror, ensuring it doesn’t come in contact with the reflective surface. This step is particularly useful if you live in an earthquake-prone area.
