FAQs

What material are the Hillman Wide Channel Mirror Clips made of?

The clips are made from sturdy steel.

What is the channel size of these mirror clips?

The channel size is 1/4-inch.

How wide and long are the clips?

The clips are 1-1/4-inch wide and 1-1/2-inch long.

How many clips are included in a pack?

Each pack contains 15 clips.

Are screws or fasteners included with the clips?

No, screws or fasteners for mounting the clips to the surface are not included.

Can these clips be used for very thick mirrors?

These clips are designed for a 1/4-inch channel, so they are best suited for mirrors within that size range. Extremely thick mirrors may not fit securely.

Are these clips suitable for outdoor use?

While made of steel, prolonged exposure to outdoor elements may cause rust. They are best suited for indoor applications or protected outdoor areas.

Troubleshooting

Clip does not grip mirror securely

Ensure the mirror edge thickness is compatible with the 1/4-inch channel. Verify clips are not overtightened onto the mounting surface, which could distort their grip.

Difficulty in aligning clips

Ensure the mounting surface is flat and level. Pre-drilling pilot holes for fasteners can help with precise alignment.

Clips show signs of rust

Although made of steel, prolonged exposure to moisture can cause rust. Clean the affected area with a steel wool pad and apply a thin coat of protective oil.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Position the mirror against the desired mounting surface.
  2. Place the Hillman Wide Channel Mirror Clips around the edges of the mirror, ensuring the 1/4-inch channel grips the mirror edge.
  3. Secure the clips to the mounting surface using appropriate screws or fasteners (not included).

Compatibility:

This clip is designed for mirrors with edges that fit a 1/4-inch channel. It is most compatible with standard framed or unframed mirrors of moderate thickness. It is not recommended for extremely thick or thin glass where the channel may not provide an adequate grip.

Care:

Clean the clips with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the steel finish. Regularly check the security of the clips to ensure the mirror remains safely mounted.
