Hi,

My question is 2 fold (hence the weird framing of it!)

I have a 32 in X 48 in framed mirror that I am trying to install on a
wall which has studs that are about 18 inch apart.I am using 2 1/2 inch
screws to hold the thing on the wall.

I know this post is 7 years old, but since it raises the subject of
hanging mirrors, I'll tell a story.

When my mother and her husband moved to Pennsylvania, she hired a
mirror company (are there such things?) to hang the mirror that was
part of my bedroom furniture.

As they were working, she offered them the J-brackets that had been
used in the first home where we had the mirror, and in the second.

The guy said, Oh we don't need those.

TWo hours after they left, the mirror fell off the wall.

Broke the glass and the frame. The jerky company replaced the mirror
but never fixed one corner of the frame. The mitre had a gap of
almost 1/4 inch. It was expensive furniture, solid ash. with two
matching dressers, a desk, two single beds, and a night table. My
mother was over 65 and didn't fight as hard as she would have when
younger.


This guy's mirror was 32 x 48, no smaller than mine.. He shouldnt'
be relying only on picture wire and eyelets.


1. The eyeholes on the back of the mirror frame are 30 inches apart and
finding matching stud locations is not possible. I tried this and have
ended up spoiling the wall with screw holes that didnt work for me
(till i got the stud finder!!). I was advised on getting a hanging wire
to attach to the back. Does anyone know what kind of wire I should be
getting?

2. Once I get this wire how do I attach it to the back of the mirror? I
was told it goes into the eyeholes but its hard for me to comprehend
how it would. Do I have to screw the wire into the back of the frame?

Thanks in advance for your help!
