Step 2 · Determine Mirror Hanging Hardware

Assess the weight of your mirror. For heavy mirrors, standard picture hooks are insufficient. Choose heavy-duty picture hangers, D-rings with wire, or specialized mirror mounting systems. Ensure the hardware is rated to support at least double the weight of the mirror for safety. For plaster walls, consider hardware that can be directly screwed into studs or uses robust plaster anchors if studs aren't perfectly positioned.
