Hi after getting some help on here regarding hanging a Dyson thought I'd give it another shot and see if anyone could help.

I've 5 IKEA krabb mirrors only 2(must have been the newer ones) have brackets on the back so I've hung them no problem.The other 3 however don't have brackets.

I've tried using heavy duty velcro which should hold 7kg doing 3 strips on each mirror but they lasted 2 days and 1's fallen off already.

I've been looking for some heavy duty wall brackets hoping I could just use something to stick them onto the backs of the mirrors

The surface area they attach too will be far smaller than using adhesive across he entire mirror.

Is the glue stuff easy to get off or will it mark/damage the brickwork ?
 
Drill holes in the mirrors and use screws with a chrome cap, in to wall plugs?
 
JDs clips are what you need.....solid ones at the bottom, adjustables on the top.
I used mirror adhesive on some of these darn mirrors - and one of them came down, months later :eek:
This was on large tiles, above a basin. Could have taken the customers arm off. Never again!

I've got some adjustable clips from ikea but i don't want to drill into the brickwork if i don't have to
 
Fit and forget, mate if you want the mirrors to stay up.....hammer drill and 6mm masonry bit required!

If you use clips you will need to pad them out Ikea mirrors as they are only a few mm thick.
