Thank you for this video. I had no idea how the clips worked.
This was super helpful. I had to remove some faux trim on the mirror to access the clips. Thanks for the simple, easy-to-follow video. Subscribed.
How about some eye protection, just in case something goes south?
we have two of these in our home. didnt know how the brackets worked. thank you for this video! we are looking to replace each one with decorative mirrors to modernize our bathrooms.
Glad I could help!
I love your videos! I have a strange situation with my bathroom wall. There is tile over drywall. They removed the mirror section of the tile to place a cheap 5 part mirror in the recessed area. The problem is drywall doesn't come in the thickness of tile. Any suggestions for filling that gap once the mirror is removed? Thanks!
I knew there must be a trick. Good video with quality sound and actual enunciation. And most importantly, you answered the question I had!
I try to respond to every comment. I loose some of the responses to responses sometimes , glad to help!Cheers and have a great 2018
Any recommendations for removing a glued on wooden frame from a large mirror mounted to our bathroom wall? Previous owner framed it with knotty pine and I'm afraid that I'll crack the mirror by prying it off.
Its been a while, but you're always there when I need you
Thanks for showing how those clips work. I was always scared to change out mirrors because I couldn't see how to do it safely :)
My pleasure. Just be careful with the tape or silicone when trying to pry it off.
Thanks Jeff! I learn a lot from you my man!
Thank-you! I always wondered what those clips were.
If this don't work a sledgehammer will but then you'll have alot of little mirrors
"Always wear gloves"....... Except when you are removing the second mirror........
but not just any gloves. cut proof.
I'd wear safety glasses too.
Great video. My mirror is mounted wall to wall and ceiling to countertop. So no way to get behind it. Any suggestions?
So if I’m putting a 48lb 36x60 mirror up would clips into a stud work fine or should I use adhesive also?
Just what I needed, Thanks
Thank you so much. This was so helpful 👍
Great video. I have those clips on my mirror as well hope they didn’t put any adhesive on it!! You made it look very easy..
It really is that easy, if you are not familiar with that work wear gloves that won't cut on the glass in case of an accident.
WOW! Just what I needed! I'm so glad you made this video. Exactly what I had. Now, why did I remove it? I had a new roof installed. I have a rambler. The roofers made so many loud drops and bangs I thought they were going to fall through the roof. My vanity and mirror were pulled away from the wall - I take from the house shaking. I was afraid the mirror was going to fall and break. They also added a nice crack above a doorway in another room and messed up the molding around a pocket door. The clips were exactly how it was installed. Thank goodness no glue! I was thinking of using a rubber mallet and "hammering" it back in place, repaint and replace mirror. Thanks.
Same here. The mirror tilted forward only the recessed cabinet is holding it in place 😢
this was so so helpful!!!
Thanks, here’s hoping my huge mirror goes that easy.
Thanks, this helped a lot
my god this was helpful! Love this channel!
Does it work if the mirror is heavily glued on tiles?
Oh geeze, mines three times this size. This is going to be a fun Saturday.
Me too. I'm gonna wear a Hazmat suit in case it breaks in a million pieces lol
Nice video! Very helpful! Thnx!
Very helpful! The mirror I need to remove doesn’t have clips I think it is liquid nailed on and I’m so afraid I’ll ruin the wall if we tear it off.
I understand where you are coming from.
Thank you for this video. The clip issue was bothering me. I am doing my elderly mothers bathroom over this weekend and I was scratching my head on the clips. QQ: if there is a lot of glue on back of the mirror, how would I repair the drywall? Please, please, please don’t tell me that i have to replace it!
Hi Tony, a lot of times the brown paper gets exposed. spray with kilz oil based aerosol primer and wait 5 minutes. then you can mud or spakle. Cheers!
Thank you.
How about using those suction cup handles when removing a mirror?
Mine came off by itself. The medicine cabinet Kept it from falling forward all the way so it’s just tilted. But It’s good to know how those clips work though I will have to get a handyman to help. Thanks!
Hey, it went well and I didn’t get hurt thanks to you!
Great to hear Pat! Cheers!
Thank you. I HATE these huge mirrors!
Thank you so much! ... cute camera guy =)
So you don't believe it's necessary to use glue if you properly use the j-hooks and clips? I'm about to put up a room full of 3x7ft mirrors and am trying to determine if the glue is really necessary. Thanks in advance!
mirrors that size should be installed with a 2 sided mastic. if you don't want to see any hardware then I suggest talking to a glass shop about options. The size and weight of your glass may require you by code in your area to use track or silicone with a temporary brace. Just remember mirrors are not usually tempered glass and if they fall off a wall can cause serious damage.
Thanks
No problem
How can i remove the mirror with metal borders on it.
I have a tilted mirror that we can't figure out how to remove the mirror doesn't go to either side enough to pop out of the holder any suggestions
unscrew the mounting brackets, or try lifting it up to release from the mount.
What didn’t you use tape??
Awesome video, made what I though would be the most difficult job the easiest. Thanks
Glad to help. Cheers!
How do you patch up the ripped drywall?
did you ever figure it out, Kelly?
Ours had clips, adhesive tape, and silicone 😪
Gloves and safety glasses, please!
Maybe take the light fixture off first??
Where is your safety glasses and gloves?
"hopefully we can do this without shorting this out". Hey Mr. Safety guy, turn off the power when monkeying with electrical outlets! :) haha
Yea right or how about removing the light assembly bulb housing
The mirror we removed was much smaller but the previous owner must have used an entire tube of some sort of construction cement to attach it to the drywall. They were going for a "window" look because there are no windows in the bathroom and just put cheap shutters over it. Couldn't open the shutters and couldn't see the mirror. Not sure what they were thinking.
We managed to remove it (and chunks of drywall) by using packing tape over the entire thing and using a prybar. What a nightmare.
some times you find handy and sometimes you find creative. That is part of the fun!
"personal injury" wouldn't you want to wear a pair of safety glasses, but what do I know
Why don't you remove the glass from the light fixture so it is not in the way?
You could if you wanted too. Those fixtures have 3 set screws each and have to be loosened by hand . It takes a lot longer to remove than to just be careful with the way your holding the glass.
I would have taken the time to remove the fixture light shades, worn gloves, and taped the mirror.
What a lazy ass!
What about a glued on mirror? Of course removing clips is a cinch
Thank God I found this video because my mirror has those clips but I wasn't sure how to remove them so my plan was to smash it with a hammer 😂
2:30 "monkeys", lol. perfect way to measure some construction noob's intelligence in a constructive way. love Papa Jeff.
I'm glad I found you...but the dopes who built my house totally siliconed the mirrors. No clips to be found. Grrrr!
What happened to the 'safety' part? No gloves? No tape? No eye protection?
The point of the video is to show how strong glass is. No worries, No sweat,No problem.
Rolls eyes .
Rolls eyes . So you're one of THOSE…
Then remove the " ...safely !" part. There's a video that merits that distinction:
How to Remove a Glued Bathroom Mirror from the Wall - CZcams : czcams.com/video/UOIbMRPk64o/video.html
And turn off the power to the socket preferably.
Yea, no glue here!
Doing this without an assistant is just dangerous!
It’s why I thought it said girls bathroom mirror
no glasses? come on
Thanks for the help removing a mirror. Please remember to wear gloves. Second video, no gloves..
Aww man I guess I need gloves .
You didn’t even mention what you used to remove it 😡
Your knowledgeable for sure but your like a bull and notice you always cut corners . Why not remove the light fixtures it takes two minutes rather than almost ripping the light assembly of the wall.
I used to look at you like a superman on home renovation until I watched this video. No Safety (common sense) were used here in this video, but the gloves. No glasses, no long leaves shirt, NO TAPE used on the mirror in case it brakes!! You know there are people who doesn't use common sense at all. The only video i didn't like from you just because you didn't use your common sense. So sad!
First and foremost, he referred to whomever put the mirror up as "monkeys"?? Derogatory don't you think?
its is but every "home expert" thinks they are better than the one before them -
