I dispair of the idiots who design the fixing systems for things
like this, they have clearly never hung anything on a wall before.
I'd agree with that

Hung a mirror last week. From Arrggh-os, my favourites. No fixings
included - saved me the trouble of binning them.

Two upside down 'keyhole' slots on the back with a rebate
underneath, the idea being that it dropped over two screw heads.

Convenietly spaced at 96.5cm apart, so at 48.25cm centres. Marked
out, drilled, plugged put in screws. I then find out that the larger
hole in the keyhole won't allow the head of a No:8 or 4mm screw
through - had to ease it out with a drill bit.

Should have checked!

If you mean Arrggh-os should have checked, you would be correct.
