Heavy mirror

[nixbarchetta]

Hi guys
I have a mirror about 7kgs which I want to have on a brick/plaster wall. There is only 1 keyhole fitting on the back, hole size is just 10mm. Concerned that a single screw will not be sufficient to hold it securely. It's a large metal sun with very sharp points all the way round and a round mirror in middle so tricky to fit anything else to it. Any brilliant suggestions please?
Thanks in advance

A 2 inch 10 will hold ten times that. There's only sheer forces to take into account.

Thanks joe-90 for the info, think I might still cross my fingers and say a few prayers before I let go of it!

I'm a hundred kilos and it would hold my weight no problem.

Depending on how well the screw is fitted into the wall of course. Right size hole and plug for a start
