(***)The included anchors and screws can be used to affix this mirror to the wall. However, due to the variability of wall types, the ultimate responsibility lies with the installer to determine the correct anchors and screws to use.

Facedown.jpg 1. Lay mirror gently face down on a flat, padded surface. Hold cleat to bottom of the crossbar and measure the distance from the bottom of the mirror to the bottom of the cleat. This will give you a reference measurement for placing it on the wall.

The mirror can move slightly on the cleat from side to side so an approximate placement of the lateral center is fine.

For example, if you want the bottom of the mirror to be 55” off the ground, add 10” and the bottom of the cleat should sit at 65”

Tap in the anchors lightly with a hammer until flush with the wall. Hold cleat in place and use the 2” #8 screws provided to attatch it to the wall. The cleat should feel secure with no movement.
