September 4, 20233 yr Hi All, I hope you are well. I have a big framed mirror I want to hang on the wall but this is a plasterboard. The mirror is about 44" x 34". What should I use so it has enough support? Thank you
September 4, 20233 yr I drilled 4 holes, one in each corner of the frame. Then plasterboard plugs, Drew's and filled the screw tops.
September 4, 20233 yr 2 off double pin picture hangers, if has string hanger at the back. If it's really heavy it will have hanging plates on it, then Rawlplug and screw. Edited September 4, 20233 yr by JohnMo
September 4, 20233 yr My go to plasterboard fixing is these for heavy objects. https://www.screwfix.com/p/easyfix-hollow-wall-anchors-8-16mm-m5-x-52mm-10-pack/12229?tc=WC2&gclid=Cj0KCQjwgNanBhDUARIsAAeIcAsSGoxBqpjwAXBHZjMxEkuPPre-46O7eGNKmet-FhbDR4JKrVjAx24aAt_QEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
September 4, 20233 yr I used these, various diameters depending what I am fixing. Kitchen cabinets are still in place. https://www.screwfix.com/p/fischer-plasterboard-plug-ldf-6mm-x-32mm-100-pack/81956
September 4, 20233 yr Author This is the mirror. I don't know the exact weight but I think it's around 10kg? It has these string hangers on both sides, nothing more.
September 5, 20233 yr Those fittings are used for string. All you need 2 x 2 pin picture hooks and the string. B&Q or your local picture framer sell both.
September 6, 20233 yr Author I found this video. These picture hooks make the most sense as it keeps the load away from the screw itself. Edited September 6, 20233 yr by JohnBishop
September 6, 20233 yr Author by the way what do you think about 3M Claw? There are 20kg rated ones. Edited September 6, 20233 yr by JohnBishop
