Can you hang a heavy mirror on plasterboard?

Yes — with the right anchors. We carry toggle bolts rated to 30kg+ each and find studs where possible.

How do you avoid drilling into wires?

We use a stud-and-services finder before drilling and follow standard wiring layout assumptions.

Coogee context

What picture & mirror hanging looks like in Coogee

Coogee rental hangs are typically light frames on standard picture hooks, kept to the minimum count so end-of-lease patching is manageable. Owner-occupier work uses the full range of fixing methods — masonry anchors for solid-brick exterior walls, toggles for plasterboard partitions, stud-locating for heavy mirrors. Share-house dynamics mean multiple tenants may want different hangings — we batch jobs efficiently.
