Can I put two large screws with spring toggles, or similar, into the

I would use the screw-type plasterboard fixings.

I have used these to hang radiators on the walls, and the radiator
weighs more when filled with water than any of the mirrors we have
(and that includes a mirror we have which is real plate glass and a
heavy oak frame).


I'd agree. done the same with radiators myself. Very strong fix.
