How do i hang a mirror on a concrete wall.

Hold the mirror against the wall in your desired position and mark the top and bottom corners using a pencil. Mark the location of the top edge and the center of the frame. Finding a stud can be useful but not necessary if you have a strong enough hanger. Monkey hooks are simple devices that allow you to hang a mirror or other object on drywall easily.

Make sure you have enough space on the wall for the mirror and otherwise decide how you want it positioned relative to other items on the wall and in the room. Hold the mirror against the wall at the desired position. Set the mirror down. Usually you position the top cleat at the top of the frame make shallow holes and attach it with the included screws.

I m not crazy about drilling holes into the concrete wall and was thinking of using those 3m adhesive strips to hang the mirrors. Parallel to the lines you ve drawn but about 1 inch 2 5 cm inside stick 4 pieces of painter s tape to the wall. Hang a mirror using cleats. Weight limits vary by product with the strongest picture hanging hooks supporting a maximum of eight pounds.

Drill four holes in the wall with a masonry bit that is slightly smaller than the diameter of the anchor. In fact installing a monkey hook is so easy you do not even need any tools aside from a tape measure and pencil for proper positioning. Use a level to ensure that the mirror will not hang crooked. These holes should be positioned at the four corners of the mirror 2 inches in from the sides.

Hold your mirror up to the wall to see how much space it will take up. Just follow the package directions. One wall is regular sheet rock and the mirrors went up perfectly. Allow an hour for the adhesive to set before hanging the picture.

The other wall is the outside concrete wall of the foundation. Find a place to hang the mirror. I grabbed a couple dozen to hang in the gym. Drill them on the outsides of the lines so the mirror does not cover them.

Place a scrap piece of wood that is approximately half as long as the mirror is wide underneath the hanging wire on back of the frame. You simply push and twist the device to insert it into the wall.
