Mirror installation

Page 1 of 1
I just bought a mirror:

https://m.ikea.com/au/en/catalog/products/art/90374504/

So it’s 165cm long and 74cm high. I am planning to install it long ways/horizontal.
There are two fitting/mounting holes which would be used for hanging on a screw head.
If the mirror is 12kg, does each of the mounting hardware need to be rated for 6kg.

Would toggle bolts work best on a gyprock wall?
I haven’t checked yet but I am sure the screws aren’t going to line up with existing studs in the wall. Thought about screwing some timber on the wall then screw the Mirror onto that but I am not sure why type and how big.
Thanks
Just use wall mates.
Follow the directions and it will work a treat

Ditto 3M Claw, expensive but best thing I've used to date. I put two of the 11kg ones in for a 12kg mirror on the wall, and its been great for 4 years now.
