Review on National Hardware N260-143: Heavy Duty Picture Hanger French ๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ Cleat Bracket, 12 inch Aluminum - Holds 100lbs, Bubble Level Included by Matt Morgan

Works very well.: Hardware

The house I recently moved into has a beautiful antique bathroom mirror. The frame is all pine so I doubt it's of any value but it has a shamrock on the frame which looks quite elegant. Hanging a frame at eye level - like this one - on a picture wire is not ideal. The mirror will inevitably hang from the wall at least at a slight angle and will not reflect directly. The previous owner of the home solved this problem by screwing the mirror directly to the wall with large drywall screws. Argh. After doing my best to mend the holes in the frame left by this act of barbarism, I used this French clamp mount to rehang the mirror. It keeps the mirror flush with the wall as it should be and is very easy to install. The included bubble level that fits into half of the bracket on the side of the wall is a great idea and the Walldog drywall screws were new to me and worked great.
