Okay, I just watched this, now... who can hang this big mirror for me?🤣

@chris76-01 3 месяца назад

I can hang anything. I've hung a huge TV (somewhere between 60-72 inches) on a metal stud wall and it's still doing good after many years. 😊

Spectacularly helpful - especially about putting the tape on the level! Glad I googled it and found this. Your video really helped us here in Berlin, Germany.

1. Buy a good heavy mirror. 2. Measure up. 3. Wonder why you bought the mirror. 4. Throw it away...

@sethd1125 9 месяцев назад

Why bother identifying the type of wall material (plaster or drywall) if you don't describe if that makes a difference in how to hang the item and what you might do differently?

1. Buy a heavy mirror or picture. 2. Buy a table. 3. Set mirror or picture on table and lean and anchor it to the wall. Enjoy!

@argueallday 4 года назад

This video would be a lot easier to watch and follow if, 1. the narrator spoke just a little slower, and 2, if there wasn't that awful, frenetic background music. Is that music really adding anything?

@lowes 4 года назад

Appreciate the feedback, Philip. In our more recent how-to's, we've pulled back some of the audio to make following the steps a little easier. Thanks for the tips.

@argueallday 4 года назад

@shawnise 3 года назад

The background music is what my alarm rings to. When I first hit play I looked over at my alarm thinking I'd accidentally set it.

@lynnepostings Год назад

I have to agree ... he was speaking FAR TOO quickly ... as though trying to give the impression of " See how simple it is ... won't take you a moment " etc BUT the viewers watching this wouldn't be here if they were confident & so are obviously nervous about hanging a large mirror safely in the first place ! ( more so in my case ... as it is to be placed on my main wall directly above a fluid filled radiator ) And so it needs to be really secure. The terrible uneccessary, HYPER music in the background only added to the stressful feeling ... and so it was difficult to concentrate when considering all these factors. BTW : there had always been a large mirror on that same wall since first moving into my home ... BUT there was no radiator below it at that time. I still want to hang the new mirror in the same place as it's the main wall and focal point etc ... but much more stressful due to it being pretty heavy, large & above the radiator.

@FlacomanXD Год назад

@sweetscurlsmore7187 5 лет назад

I have those hooks and it is supposed to carry a heavy mirror, but the hook looks so fragile

@lynnepostings Год назад

Have to agree with you ... some of the hooks already on some items ... look so feeble ... makes you nervous

@improvementTime10.3.17 4 года назад

0:35 use bathroom scale to check weight of frame to then compare to how much weight each type of hanging tool allows for 1:44 can add bumpers to prevent scratching of the wall

@FuzzyFace73 Год назад

It's the "hang it on the hooks" part that is giving me trouble. They are behind the mirror, as are the rings on the mirror. The rings fall down when I am not holding them, and I cannot see them to line them up.

@samkw22 Год назад

I saw on another video, someone put painters tape on the bottom of the rings to hold them up. Maybe try that!

@BrokeYuppie718 8 месяцев назад

I understood all the way until he they said to measure from the ring hole up to the top of the mirror then transfer it to the wall seems like it was backwards shouldnt you mark the wall with the distances of the two hooks then the distance of the ring hole from the actual mounting hooks itself to determine exactly where to make your hole in the wall to mount the mirror?? I dunno I got lost

I'd like to know how to attach & tie a CORD ( not a wire ) to the back of a very heavy mirror. The cord is heavy duty BUT kind of slippy & I'm afraid that the knot/s will slip out of place & come loose etc ! No one ever seems to bother explaining this for CORD tying etc

This video does not show a way to get the wire on the back of a heavy picture to hook on the hook already on the wall - without extra hands to help. The wire always falls flat so that the hook won't catch.

@alexwilder8315 4 года назад

This video is way too fast. I can't think this fast. It could be broken up into stages, which are introduced at the start of the video. And there could be a three second pause in between each instruction. It's GREAT content but just badly needs to be re-edited to be longer. It's fine, I'm willing go spend five minutes learning this. That's why I sat down with a cup of coffee before I looked this up. The picture is going to (hopefully) hang there much, much longer.

@dean3583 7 лет назад

The metal cleat system is a terrible idea, the wall wood stud is only 1.5" wide, the metal cleat is 6", you screw it to a hollow dry wall. Just figure it out.
