Just arrived in Villages and getting settled. Beautiful but heavy mirror requires mounting by experienced contractor and is a two man job. Mirror measures 50" wide and 63" tall. Any leads would be appreciated.

I just removed 3 mirrors, all 3 were glued to the wall (common in TV), these did not have and framing. You might want to add some details, was this hung with hooks, if so these will not line up with typical stud locations. Was it hung with wire, you may be able to hit 2 studs if you are lucky. Does it have a frame? How was it previously hung?
Many of the handy men are individuals and may not respond without some additional info. Many of the local contractors are backed up. There are companies that hang large televisions on wall that may be able to help.
IMHO, for a mirror that large, I would look into a commercial system for hanging large objects like what they use in garages.

No wire but hooks, something the person called "wall buddies".

You should be able to hang it with the proper drywall anchors, one on each side, and hooked onto loops attached to the mirror frame. Home Depot has an "OOK" anchor that will hold 200 pounds. It uses a steel plate with 5 nails. A 50 inch by 63 inch by 1/4 inch thick mirror only weighs about 70 pounds, plus the weight of the frame. I think you could measure and nail in the anchor plates yourself. You may need two guys to lift the mirror and attach the anchor hooks to the loops on the mirror. I would make sure the loops on the mirror frame are recessed enough so the steel plates are hidden by the mirror.

And another trip to Home Depot, looking forward to finding OOK.

I would suggest you look your store up on the internet they show stock as well as where it is.

They hung all my artwork, including huge, very heavy framed painting. Also drilled into outside wall to hang something. Will suggest placement of art when needed. Card says "mirror hanging"and other related services. Very pleased. Charge by the hour.

Could you provide the name(s) of a couple of good folks who hand large TVs on walls? Thanks!
