D rings and picture wire the mirror must have a frame around it to hang a mirror this way.
How to hang mirror on wall with d ring.
An alternative to hanging the mirror with the wire on the back of the frame is to use the d rings to latch onto anchors or hooks on the wall.
Measure where your hangers should go on the wall.
The d ring is necessary to guide the wire that will keep the mirror even and balanced as it is hanging.
In both cases you should be sure to mark where the hanger will go not the screw.
You won t be hanging your mirror from the screw.
Mark 2 spots about 6 inches 15 24 cm from the top on either side of the center of the back of the mirror.
On the back of the mirror you ll probably see d rings or a wire.
This requires attaching d rings to the back perimeter of the mirror frame wrapping wire around the d ring and then attaching one or two hooks to the wall and hanging the mirror by the wire.
Install two d rings at these markings.
These d rings will guide the hanging wire once it s eventually installed keeping it even and balanced.
Without proper fastening you risk the object falling and breaking as well as damaging anything in its path.
When transferring these measurements to the wall pay special attention to level the two mounting points.
Measure from the top of the mirror to the top of the d ring or keyhole.
Set the level aside.
You can hang rings or wire from two hooks on the wall.
Measure the distance between the two d rings.
Install d rings on the back of the mirror.
Take a long length of wire double it and then thread it through one of the screw eyes of the d ring and then down to the screw eye of the d ring on the other side of the frame.
On the back of the mirror measure the distance from the top edge of the d rings to the top edge of the frame.
Your mirror should already have something on the back that it can hang with either a wire or d rings.
To get the right space between the hooks stick a long piece of tape on a level and mark the space between the d rings.
