How to Hang a Heavy 42-Inch Circular Mirror: A Guide
Hanging a 42-inch circular mirror on a wall can be a bit of a challenge, especially if you’re someone who’s not particularly thrilled about DIY projects or haven’t dealt with heavy mirriors before. However, with the right techniques, tools, and planning, you can successfully hang even the heaviest of circle-shaped mirrors. In this article, we’ll give you a step-by-step guide on how to tackle the task.
Essential Tools and Materials You’ll Need

- level (or stud finder)
- anchors and screws (sprockets or concrete), etc
- rope / heavy-duty wire / hook)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Part 1: Measuring and Marking
Begin by measuring the lengthwise area of the wall for mounting the mirror. Look for the studs or places that can support the entire weight of the mirror better.
Next, decide placement & position the marks / drawings.
Part 2: Drilling an Angle (Optional)
Most cirular mirrors do provide options for hanging via side attachment (e.g hook with wire). Attach as seen on the attached model if the mirror.

How would I hang this mirror? The frame is metal so I can’t drill into it. It’s very heavy.
Picture hanging wire through the two hoops on the back then hang it on a screw
That would probably look good on a wall.
I’d use a 2 foot level that has measurements on it. Line it up so the mounting holes are at the same measurement on either side of the level. Then I’d put the level on the wall at the desired height. Which you’d calculate by measuring from bottom of mirror to mounting hole height. Add the distance from floor and desired bottom of mirror height to the distance between bottom of mirror and mount line. Mark the mounting holes on the wall using the level and the two locations on it that you found earlier. With a stud finder or a very small drill bit, determine what’s behind wall. If stud in one spot use just a screw. If nothing behind a spot use either a toggler plastic anchor, or one of those metal easy hang spiral shaped anchors. (Rated for 50 lbs) make sure to test the screws you are going to use so you know that they will fit in the mounting holes on the mirror. Picture hanging wire would work well for this too, but that method wouldn’t be as stable on the wall or as flat against the wall.
