Would this work if I used three hooks for a 130 lb mirror? I know it says each hook holds up to 50 lbs. thank you!

My Quake Hold Picture Hook package (model 4338) states the following: Use 1 hook for hanging up to 50 lbs. And, Use 2 hooks for hanging up to 100 lbs. A package contains 4 hooks, 4 nails and 4 2-1/2" screws.... nails for lightweight items and screws for heavyweight items....presumably into studs. I am NOT an engineer but would assume that if you're anchoring into a stud (2'x4') - not just drywall - using 3 hooks with screws may hold your 130 lb mirror. Good luck.

The Quakehold safety hooks are great but I have only mounted large HDTVs and mirrors using Molly Bolts. The two large mirrors we have came with special brackets attached to the frames. These rugged brackets have long "keyhole" slots that accommodate the head of a Molly Bolt. That said, the drawback to using three hooks is that you cannot be assured that each one is supporting an equal third of the total weight. One could be at its limit or over. One good shake and the overloaded one could let go, then the other two would fail. Visit the Quakehold dot com website for additional info.

I might try it myself, but the engineer in me would not recommend it. I think it would be hard to distribute the weight equally across the 3 hooks. You might try hanging a good picture-hanging cable from each hook, then securely join these 3 cables together to hold another cable for the mirror. You will definitely want to use the big screws into studs. Good luck.

I would not recommend using these hooks at a weight that exceeds their rating, given that they are plastic. And there is no good way to distribute the weight among 3 hooks. Maybe 2, yes, but not 3. I would recommend metal hanger hardware; for example this one, rated at 200 pounds: OOK 55099 Heavy-Duty Drywall Hanger Supports Up to 200 Pounds

I would say yes it would. Make sure you get one that is made for the weight of the mirror.

I used command hooks that have the metal movable hook that I bought at target and these worked perfectly for holding the weight without damaging my ceilling. Hope this helps!!

Yes I recently did just that. I mounted on a wooden door with the large white hooks. I believe they were the 8 lb. capacity each hooks. The rack is very sturdy and on the heavy side once you fill it. They are holding great. You don't see the hooks after you have filled the shelves.

This style of hangers are more limited by weight than size. The way these work it is not like you need to have full width coverage on the back of the mirror (or other item being hung). Amazon has a wide variety of size choices, plus you can use multiple hangers if the weight or other conditions require doing so. You should easily be able to easily select one or a combination of these hangers to suit almost any need. The one I purchased has worked out well and I will have no hesitation in using these hangers again in the future as necessary.

Yes. I have 3 currently hanging from the heavy duty hooks. They work very well.

I believe that the appropriate weight limit would be between 25 and 35 lb. It is strong, but I don't know that it would be able to handle 50 lbs, it would depend on the item that you hang. If it well balanced and could you put it at the back of the hook with nothing else on it, then you might be able to hold a 50 lb. item.

Go to the hardware store and look for a swivel hanger among the hooks and caribiners... not sure what they're technically called. Or a towing hook would work.You just want to make sure the hook is rated for over 100 pounds... the heavier duty the better as the users will be swinging and twisting on it.

These hooks are a little big for that, however, they're really nice so it would be a nice idea. I use mine to hang large bath towels in the bathroom. I tried a mug & it does work, the handle clanked against the hook part when I took it off, but other than that, easy on, easy off.

I've got 20 lbs on 2 hooks, I am not absolute sure about 50 - 60 without using 3 or more hooks.

not with out some extra brackets... These are made for your standard big truck mirrors that are 16" tall by 5" wide. you could put shorter mirrors on them but you would need to get creative with some other extender arms to hold the mirror.

the hooks are very wide and I would think it would be able to hook onto it, but the weight distribution is different on it if it's on a window sill. There is only one wayt o be sure and that is to try it.

I have see the large silver hooks used AS the brackets for a curtain rod. They were on a wood and glass door (attached to the wood part) and were holding up fine. If your brackets are flat on the back where they attach to the wall they could work. The weight of everything is the issue. If the rod and curtains weigh a couple of pounds or less and no one is tugging on them then it should work.

i agree with the 2 previous answers re: how they are secured to the wall being the key...my mirror is approx 5' x 3.5' and it holds great, but all 4 clips are stud mounted, not sure i would have gone for it if i wasn't able to stud mount

Absolutely. There's nothing magical about the adhesive. If you can find a relatively smooth spot maybe an inch square you're fine. And if it doesn't stick well you can reapply with a different adhesive strip. The mirror is light plastic so it won't be taxed by its weight.

I wouldn't use it for anything too heavy. Also if what you are hanging on the hook gets too heavy you will need to install backing in your wall no matter what hook you use.

For all the standard weight picture hangers 10, 20, and I think even 50lb, yes, they seem to fit just fine. For the heavier weight ones (Not sure, but I think just the 3-holed, 100lb hooks) they make a larger nail. Look in the packaging picture for this OOK assortment to see what I mean: OOK 50918 Professional Picture Hanging Value Pieces Kit, hangs up to 17 frames
