How to Hang a Wooden Wall Mirror
- 1). Measure about 10 inches from the top and 1/4 inch from each side of the wooden frame for placement of the hanging rings. Take these measurements on the back of the fram. Both rings should be at the same distance from the top of the frame. Mark with a pencil.
- 2). Pre-drill small pilot holes for the screws if the frame is a very hard wood.
- 3). Fasten the hanging ring to the frame by screwing a screw through each hole of the small plate, with the ring toward the top of the mirror. A hanging ring is a pivoting metal ring attached to a small metal plate with two screw holes in it.
- 4). Determine the location and height for the mirror. Measure carefully. Level the mirror. Mark the top of the hanging rings on the wall with a pencil. If hanging the wooden frame mirror at the wall studs, screw two large screws directly into the studs. If hanging on drywall, masonry or plaster, drill holes, insert heavy-duty anchors and screw into the anchors. Leave at least 1/4 inch of the screw above the level of the wall.
- 5). Lift the mirror and carefully loop each hanging ring over the corresponding screw in the wall. Make certain that the wooden frame mirror is fully supported by the hanging hardware.
