HANGING THINGS ON WALLS

Hanging a Mirror

What`s the best way to hang a frameless mirror?
The key is to use mounting clips. Better ones are padded and have a slotted screw hole so that the top clips can be slid up to install the mirror, then lowered to hold it in place.

Install the bottom clips first. Use a carpenter's level to draw a line for the clip screws (about an inch above the desired bottom). About 4 inches in from each corner, screw the clips into the wall studs. Next draw a line and install the top two clips so that they'll hold the mirror when lowered. If additional support is needed, use mirror mastic to affix the mirror back to the wall.

How Is It Done?

  1. To install the bottom clips, draw a level line as a guide for placing the clip screws.
  2. At the top, mount the clips so that they grab the mirror's edge when lowered.

 

INSTALLING HOLLOW-WALL FASTENERS

In an ideal world, every nail would hit a stud. In reality, wall fasteners are essential more often than not for hanging towel racks, pictures, and shelf supports.

To select the right fastener, first check the thickness of your wall. Some expanding fasteners won't work in walls thicker or thinner than they were designed for. Next, check the length and size of the screw. Most walls can accommodate any length of screw. With hollow-core doors, make sure the screw won't poke through. Screw sizes also affects the anchor mechanism. To be safe, buy fasteners that include screws.

For the fastener to work, drill a hole to the size specified on the package. Position the hole carefully; most fasteners can't be shifted once they're inserted.

Be aware that fasteners can't be used for everything. For safety, heavy items like cabinets, stair rails, and bookshelves should be screwed directly into studs.

How Is It Done?

  1. Tap a plastic anchor in place so its face ring is flush; then insert the screw. Expanding anchors provide a two-way bite. Supports loads up to 20 Ib.
  2. Close the spring-loaded wings and insert the toggle bolt into a drilled hole. The wings flip open in the cavity to anchor the screw. Supports 30 Ib.
  3. Insert the toggler, pull the support flange tight against the wall with the break-away handle, then insert the screw. Supports 50 Ib.
