Bullfix Heavy Duty Mirror & Picture Hanging Kit

The Bullfix Heavy Duty Mirror & Picture Hanging Kit is a complete solution for
safely mounting heavy mirrors, pictures and wall art onto plasterboard walls. Using
Bullfix heavy duty drywall fixings as the anchor, this kit is ideal for
standard plasterboard, double-board, dot-and-dab and many insulated plasterboard systems
(within Bullfix thickness limits). Perfect for homeowners, decorators and trades who want
a reliable, easy-to-install hanging system on drywall.

Hanging heavy mirrors and large framed pictures on plasterboard can be risky when using standard
plastic plugs or simple picture hooks. The Bullfix Heavy Duty Mirror & Picture Hanging Kit
is built around Bullfix’s proven heavy duty plasterboard fixings, giving you a
strong, reliable anchor that is specifically designed for drywall.

The kit is intended for use on:

• Single-layer plasterboard,
• Double-boarded walls,
• Dot-and-dab plasterboard on masonry,
• Many insulated plasterboard systems (within thickness and system limits – see Bullfix guidance).

Once the Bullfix anchors are installed, you can use the supplied screws and hanging hardware to
mount:

• Large and heavy mirrors (wall-mounted),
• Framed pictures and artwork,
• Canvas prints and decorative panels,
• Other decorative wall pieces requiring secure, drywall-safe fixings.

The result is a professional-grade hanging system that gives more confidence than
traditional lightweight picture hooks used directly in plasterboard.

Installation & Application Tips

• Check wall construction:
  • Confirm the wall is plasterboard/drywall and within the thickness range specified by Bullfix.
  • Use a stud and cable/pipe detector to locate studs and avoid hidden services.
• Marking out:
  • Measure and mark the hanging positions for your mirror or picture using a level and tape measure.
  • Ensure the spacing between fixings matches the hanging hardware on the back of the mirror/picture.
• Drilling the holes:
  • Drill pilot holes at each mark using the drill bit size recommended by Bullfix for the supplied fixings.
  • Keep the drill square to the wall for a clean, accurate hole.
• Inserting Bullfix fixings:
  • Insert each Bullfix heavy duty fixing into the drilled hole until it is flush with the plasterboard, per the instructions.
  • Check that each fixing is straight and correctly seated before installing screws.
• Attaching hanging hardware:
  • Where the kit includes hooks or brackets, fix these to the wall using the Bullfix anchors and supplied screws.
  • Alternatively, you may fix D-rings or similar hardware to the frame/mirror (if not already fitted) – follow manufacturer guidance.
• Hanging the mirror or picture:
  • Lift the mirror or picture and hook it onto the installed wall hardware.
  • Check that the load is evenly distributed across all fixings and that the item is level.
• Load & safety:
  • Do not exceed the safe working load per fixing as stated by Bullfix.
  • Use multiple fixings for heavier items and always allow a safety margin above the expected load.

Frequently Asked Questions – Bullfix Heavy Duty Mirror & Picture Hanging Kit

1. How heavy a mirror can I hang with this kit?

The maximum weight depends on:

• The type and thickness of plasterboard,
• The number of Bullfix fixings used,
• The orientation of the load (shear vs. tension), and
• How well the fixings are installed.

Always consult the official Bullfix load charts and apply a sensible safety margin. For very heavy mirrors, use
multiple fixings and, where possible, fix into studs or solid structure as well as plasterboard.

2. Can I use this kit on solid masonry walls?

No. This kit is specifically designed for plasterboard/drywall. For solid masonry (brick, block, concrete),
use appropriate masonry plugs and anchors or a mirror-specific fixing system for solid walls.

3. Is it suitable for dot-and-dab and insulated plasterboard?

Yes, the Bullfix heavy duty fixings in this kit are designed to work in:

• Dot-and-dab plasterboard on masonry, and
• Many insulated plasterboard systems,

provided that the overall board thickness is within Bullfix’s specified range. Always check
the Bullfix technical guidance for the exact limits.

4. Can I reposition the mirror later using the same fixings?

If you remove the mirror but leave the Bullfix fixings and wall brackets in place, you can
usually re-hang the same or similar item using those fixings, provided:

• The fixings and screws are not damaged or loose, and
• The new item’s load and hanging points are compatible with the existing arrangement.

5. What if a fixing hole has already blown or failed?

If a previous fixing has blown out and left a large or damaged hole, consider using a
Bullfix plasterboard repair product (such as a dedicated repair kit) to restore the anchor point,
or relocate the fixing to a sound section of board.
