Are these too good to be true, or do they work?

Thanks

If you hang the mirror from two or more hooks into separate studs it may
work out okay. The studs do not have to be exactly centered.

The thing is about 42 X 42, weighing slightly over 50 lbs (mirror on
big peice of wood). But one thing I noticed is that there appears to
be a stud at the exact center, where I need one. Very convenient.

The back of the frame has a circle with a claps held by 2 screws.
There is not wire on the back. It would seem that it might have been
a mirror for a bedroom drawer set. I was wondering if I could just
screw in a very large screw into the stud and just hand the circle
over the end of the screw. The screw I have in mind is much bigger
than the kind that come with these 100 lb hook hangers.
