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. 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! manu |
