FAQs

What type of wall is this kit designed for?

The Gripit Mirror Kit is specifically designed for use on plasterboard walls.

What tools do I need to install the kit?

You will need a drill to create the holes and a screwdriver to insert the screws. A pencil and level are also recommended.

Can I use this kit for heavy mirrors?

The kit is suitable for most mirrors, but it is important to check the weight capacity of the Gripit fixings. If you have a very heavy mirror, you might need to consider alternative mounting methods.

What if the fixings don't fit securely?

Make sure the holes are drilled to the correct size using the provided drill bit. If the holes are too large, the fixings may not hold. In this case, consider using larger fixings or a different mounting method.

How do I remove the fixings if I need to relocate the mirror?

The Gripit fixings can be removed by unscrewing them from the wall. You may need to patch the holes in the plasterboard before re-hanging the mirror in a new location.

Are the screws included with the kit suitable for all mirrors?

The kit includes screws suitable for most mirrors. If your mirror has specific hanging requirements, you may need to use different screws.

How do I ensure the mirror hangs straight?

Use a level to ensure the fixings are installed at the correct height. This will help you hang the mirror straight.

Troubleshooting

Mirror feels unstable or wobbly after hanging.

Ensure the Gripit fixings are fully inserted and secure in the plasterboard. Check that the screws are tightened properly. If the issue persists, consider using larger fixings or a different mounting method suitable for the mirror's weight.

Drill bit is not creating a clean hole.

Make sure you are using the flat drill bit provided and that it's in good condition. Apply steady pressure while drilling and avoid applying too much force. If the issue continues, check the drill bit's sharpness.

Fixings are not staying in the wall.

Ensure the holes are drilled to the correct size. If the holes are too large, the fixings may not hold properly. In this case, you may need to fill the holes and try again with new fixings or opt for a different wall hanging solution.
