What is the best way to mount a 35 pound mirror to a stone wall?

Question

I have a wall made from stone bricks that I need to mount a 35 pound mirror to. Does anyone know how to do this: what tools I need and how to use them?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Go to home depot and get a diamond tip drill bit, id drill in the grout line so if later you moved it you could easily patch the lil hole in the grout vs. your stone. Get a anchor that says up to X amount of weight. Make sure the drill bit you buy isn't bigger then the anchor. gl

Ask an Incan. They were expert in hiding unsuspected weaponry.

Duct tape

Answer 4

The best and safest way is to drill holes so you can properly anchor the mirror. You will need a hammer drill and bit or bits. If you do not own one you can rent them from your local hardware store. Next you will need brackets or screws that will support 35 pounds or more. Don't skimp on the bits, you get what you pay for.
