Selecting and Installing Your Mirror Screws
Choose a screw length that allows sufficient engagement in the timber after passing through the mirror, panel and any backing or spacers. Prepare a suitable pilot hole and use a screwdriver blade that fits the slot correctly.
When fitting glass mirrors, use suitable protective sleeves or washers to keep the metal fixing from bearing directly against the glass. Tighten carefully, then screw the decorative cap into the head by hand.
