Default What type of wire and How to hang a heavy mirror?


"Tim Fischer" wrote in message

As for the person who said "don't use wire" on a heavy mirror -- it can
work, you just need heavy-duty wire. Our mirror is hung with wire, and
it's a thick, twisted piece much, much heavier than standard picture wire
(actually it might be the same stuff, just lots of pieces twisted
together).

Tim,

Your mirror, your house you do what you like.

All the mirrors and big pictures sold today include a warning label saying,
" Do not hang using wire." As a licensed, insured contractor I have to do
thing the absolute best, safest possible way.

When I advise others free of charge even though I may have no legal
obligation to do so I advise them of the safest way to do the job. What
they choose to do with that information is completely their choice.
