What is the best way to hang a 35# wood framed mirror so it won't fall and will hang flat against the wall?
I'm not sure what type of hanger to use on the back of the mirror or on the wall. I want it to hang flat against the wall and not lean forward like so many I have seen. Additionally, I am worried about it being secure so I don't have to worry about it falling.
The best way is to drill holes through the frame and screw it to the wall via the wall studs,
That is use a stud finder, mark out the positions, measure the matching positions on the frame, top and bottom are best, drill pilot holes through the frame to accommodate the screws being used, depending on the appearance you want. (surface or countersunk) countersink the holes to suit the screws being used.
If you have a hardwood framed home then I suggest you pilot drill the marked wall positions first with a smaller drill than your screws so that they do not shear off whilst fitting.
Screws can be Phillip head drive screws to make it easier to drive with power screw driver. For a nice finish use brass, chrome, stainless screw covers or screws. or sink them below the timber frame and putty and stain the plug holes.
These are a few options, hope they help.
Mirrors, especially heavy or large ones should always be fixed in this manner, for safety.
