Will this picture wire and hook hold heavy mirror?

[pretzelz]

Hi,

I have a very heavy metal framed mirror, with one existing hook in the wall from the previous house owner. This is the first time hanging a mirror of such weight. Could you look at the photos and let me know if you think the way we have done the wire will be strong enough, and whether the hook in the (concrete) wall will be ok?

At present, when putting my finger on the hook part of the hook (bit which bends up) it doesn't feel like I could easily bend it downwards. It all feels pretty secure. However, don't want it to go wrong over time and end up breaking everything in the path in which it falls.

Many thanks.

I wouldn't trust the string on it. It looks like the corner incorporates a fixing. Can you not just put two screws in and use the corner fixings?

thanks for pointing that out, I didnt realise they were for screws. Now to figure out suitable screws.
