I want to hang a heavy mirror and picture. What is the weight supported by these brackets? I can't find it on their website or any other site.

We are using them in a public setting to protect rare and valuable wall hangings; weight has not been an issue. Sorry I can be more helpful.

There are different load ratings for the plastic anchors that you insert into the drywall. I believe that these are rated at 20 pounds each, or thereabouts. There are three plastic anchors included with the hangers, but only two of them support any weight, so you should be safe at roughly 40 pounds or less. If you need more than that, I would screw the bracket directly into studs, or use a stronger drywall insert such as a threaded anchor (purchased at a hardware store). If you screw into studs (with long screws you will need to buy at the hardware store) you could probably hold over 200 pounds. The weak link would become the little screws mounted into the back of your picture, not the wall screw. You could beef these up as well, if your frame is thick enough.

I work in a frame shop. We regularly use Security Hangers for 50-60 pound items. At that size, we generally upgrade to more robust drywall anchors, but the security hanger hardware does 50 pounds without any issues.

The brackets themselves are plenty strong. It's going to depend on your fasteners. If you can drive all your screws into solid wood like a good mirror frame and wall joists, I think these would be plenty strong. If you can't screw directly into joists, or you just want to make absolutely sure nothing is going to move, just use 1-2 additional brackets on your items. Oh, and feel free to use longer screws if you want. (I did all of the above when I hung a heavy picture.)

According to the description tab on amazon: " Fixture support of 150 pounds or less on 16-inch centers and 50 pounds or less on 24-inch centers, acceptable for fan support of 70 pounds or less." I put a good deal of my weight on it when I installed and did not feel it budge. I would say you're safe to mount 40lbs.

My Quake Hold Picture Hook package (model 4338) states the following: Use 1 hook for hanging up to 50 lbs. And, Use 2 hooks for hanging up to 100 lbs. A package contains 4 hooks, 4 nails and 4 2-1/2" screws.... nails for lightweight items and screws for heavyweight items....presumably into studs. I am NOT an engineer but would assume that if you're anchoring into a stud (2'x4') - not just drywall - using 3 hooks with screws may hold your 130 lb mirror. Good luck.

If the mirror is heavy it will be rather hard to hang whatever method you use. I've used it to hang headboards and a mirror both of which are heavy. Once hung they were very secure. It requires a flat wall. I wouldn't say it's easy but the system works well and seems durable. Poor directions are my only complaint on the product.

You can hang it. Its nice that its not too heavy either... you don't need those brackets that are typically used with heavy or large items

I used 2 of these brackets, screwed into studs, with a 36 inch long 1x8 for the shelf. As configured, the shelf supports a variety of laundry detergents and supplies which weigh, in all, about 10 pounds. I would not use it to support anything that weighed more than 20 pounds. The brackets are well worth the money I paid for them. I wish I could send you a photo, but I don't know how.

Hi. I want to build a shelf that falls down. Not one that gets pulled up. Would it in your opinion make sense to use these brackets? They would be on the two sides of the surface I will be using. Thanks for any reply on that!

I don't know the specific weight load, but you should know they don't feel solid. Tightening a screw won't do it. Later, I found these displayed at Bed, Bath and Beyond. I would recommend you go sit on one, before you make the purchase. One of ours broke within the first two weeks of having it. I don't think that should have happened. We are adults, with average weights, not obese. By some standard, they should be able to support the "average" person (at least, that's what we thought). They define, "you get what you pay for".... cheap = cheap.

I bought six of these chains & used them to hang some pretty, big heavy hanging plants & I had no problem. If I were to guess, I'd say anywhere from 1 to 5 or six pounds should be safe.

Not a lot. Maybe a couple of pounds. Mounting has more to do with stability than with supporting a lot of weight.

We bought this for our camper. We had a straight post mount coming off of our counter. I connected that bracket to the existing mount. Our tv is a 32 inch plasma, not sure of the exact weight. It seems very sturdy heavy metal construction. It does a great job.

These are really heavy duty brackets. Yes they should be able to do 80+ pounds very easily.

My older hitachi 55" is heavier and I have had that on the wall for the past 5 years. you just need to get a large enough bracket that will support the weight, and a secure mount on studs

I would guess up to 15 pounds. You could possibly use longer screws which may increase the holding power.I am an artist and I use the mounts to create diptychs from assembling multiple wood framed shadow boxes weighting a range of 8 to 12 pounds.

I am not sure about the weight. It is not heavy. It is very sturdy and well balanced. I love it...especially after many, many plastic mirrors that broke regularly.

The length is actually 1 7/8 as indicated. I make picture frames and mirrors from reclaimed lobster trap wood with glass and hardboard backing. I use these hangers on up to 8 X 10 frames, they work fine. For larger frames, up to 32 X 30 I use the 3" hangers from this same maker. Don't know actual weight they will hold, hope this was some help to you.

Yes, it will hold that weight. The only caveat is that you must mount the mounting plate into either a solid wall or into solid studs. I had to use channel iron anchored into two studs to create a stable platform upon which I could mount the support. They are great supports, but the mounting plate will require you to pay attention to the wall you are mounting onto.
