Need help attaching a mirror to a wall

[OM2]

I've bought a mirror from Ikea

I'm confused how to attach to the wall

It's come with 2 metal parts
One part is stuck to the mirror
The other part is separate - I can't figure out how to use this part
Am I supposed to attach it to the first part? I've tried and there seems to be no logical way to put it in!

See below for a photo of the two parts:

Any pointers would be great

Thanks

guess that small piece can be stuck on the wall by nail. bigger metal piece is for hanging on that removal one ? or it should be stuck bigger piece on the wall .

Screw the smaller item to the wall and hang the mirror to it.

It is obvious .....make sure you screw the small one to the wall with the hooky bit sticking upwards.

Dumb? Not at all, if in doubt, just ask.

Sometimes even the obvious, is not always obvious until pointed out to us. We all will have asked similar types of question at some point in our lives - it is the only way to learn.

Errm and make sure you 'SCREW' it to the wall mate, don't use a nail!

Very true!

just to let u guys know: everything worked out ok
and yes: i did use a screw (+ rawplug)!

(i did get the height wrong though! and had to drill a second hole. fortunately, the first hole is covered by the mirror)

Why bother typing, or even breathing? Really?

Ask yourself the same question. I don't go around picking on random people.

But you state this; and I don't. Why bother?

Why bother?

Again, ask yourself the same question. Why did you bother correcting his minor and harmless typo?
