Install large bathroom mirror

$50

Yorkeys Knob QLD, Australia

15th Jul 2025

Hi there! I need help mounting a large 180cm mirror in my bathroom (horizontally). It has two keyhole mounting holes on the back, but they don’t line up with any wall studs, and I don’t feel comfortable relying on them alone. I’m thinking of purchasing a Hangman 34kg French cleat from Bunnings. I’d like someone to: • Locate studs and install the cleat safely into at least 2 • Mount the other half to the mirror frame (may need new pilot holes) • Hang and level the mirror securely The wall is plasterboard, and the mirror will be in a bathroom, so I want it to be very solid. Can you help? What would be the cost?
