1. Completely examine the mirror for any flaws. Make sure you received the required clips to install the mirror. If the mirror didn’t bring the required clips with it measure the mirror’s thickness and go purchase the clips at a hardware store. After the first step you should have all the necessary materials for installing your new mirror.

2. Position your mirror where you want to install it. Trace an outline along the top of the mirror where you plan on installing it. Do the same for the bottom of the mirror and the two sides. Make sure the lines are slightly longer than the actual mirror to ensure accuracy and make intersecting point easier to see.

3. After measuring the width of your mirror mark two dots where the clip will need to be installed. Once the markings are in place you’re safe to install the clips with a drill. Make sure this step is done correctly as a little mistake could cause a major problem.

4. This time measure the height of your mirror and mark two dots where the top clips go. Then mark two dots where the bottom clips need to be placed. Draw a line between the two set of dots to make sure their aligned properly. Accuracy is vital in this step.

5. Double check to make sure all the lines and dot markings are accurate. Once you’re 100% sure of their accuracy you can proceed to installing the remaining clips. Once the clips are secured you’ve finished installing your mirror.
