Heavy mirror

[altafica]

I have a large heavy mirror that I want to hang. All my walls are brick internally, 1950's ex local authortity. it weighs about 35 kg.
I have seen a large picture hung on, what looked like large screws, into what looks like metal rawl plugs.
I need to know exactly what sort of screws I need, and how to do it. I am a newbie to DIY, and have no knowledge, but do have a good drill !

Is the mirror drilled? Wrong forum by the way.

7mm drill. Brown plugs and 2 inch size 10 screws.

What sort of brick? If it's lightweight ash then you might have a problem

7mm drill. Brown plugs and 2 inch size 10 screws.

Concur with Joe unless there is unusually thick plaster material like thick dabbed boards or insulated boards.

The walls are solid brick walls, very hard to drill, old council house, built like a bomb shelter.
Joe....thanks, I was told I needed screws with metal plugs. Thanks.
