Molly bolts are a medium weight hollow wall anchor. To use drill a pilot hole then tap the entire bolt sleeve and screw into the hole until flush against the wall.

Slide the mirror into the bottom clips. Place a scrap piece of wood that is approximately half as long as the mirror is wide underneath the hanging wire on back of the frame. Leave to dry before fixing the mirror. Hold the mirror against the wall at the desired position.

Set the mirror down. Thoroughly clean the wall tiles. Mark the location of the top edge and the center of the frame. Place the mirror against the wall and check again that it is level.

Tighten the bolt into the wall to expand the anchor. Once you have hanging hooks mark where you want to hang the mirror on the wall and drill a hole for the hook.
