Default Hanging a heavy mirror where it might get knocked

Any suggestions on how to mount a heavy mirror to a wall where it might

The mirror weighs about 17kg and is to be mounted half way up a
stairwell at waist height where the stairs turn 180 degrees.

Naturally, being so heavy makes it unlikely that anything would move it
accidentally but I am concerned about the possibility that if it were to
be dislodged, especially from being part way up a flight of stairs, it
could cause serious injury.

Oh, and because of where it is to be mounted it will be viewable from
above and below so the fixings ideally would be hidden behind the mirror.

An impossible ask or is there a good solution?



Some sort of keyhole plate hanger?

Eg.

Youd need to be very accurate with your wall fixings though€¦


Not really, the bit that goes on the mirror is very adjustable
location wise and has that non oval hole to lock it into that
position once you have got it adjusted correctly.
