Default Steel 2X4's make it hard to hang mirror, help!

We closed on our home Feb 12 and found everything to be just as designed. We couldn't be happier with our home! We are very excited to be Villagers at last!!

When we started to decorate our house we had trouble hanging a mirror in the entry hall. After looking back at photos taken during framing, we discovered that the wall in question is framed with steel 2x4s, this after placing a series of holes in the wall, of course!

Patching the drywall is no big deal, but how on earth do you hang a heavy mirror or framed art work on these steel 2x4 walls?

I'm sure some of you must have run into the same problem.

Thanks in advance!!
