Tips for mounting a full length mirror

I would like to mount a full length mirror on the outside of our bathroom door, but since the door is hollow I want to make sure to do it right. What is the best method for getting this done and making sure it stays put?

    Only issue I had with this over-the-door mount is the mirror tends to 'flap' from the bottom while underway. I glued some Velcro strips around the bottom to hold it to the door and keep it in place.
  • I bought the hooks for the full length mirror to hang on the door. (From Wally World in the mirror aisle.) No issues during the first trip of the season. Still hanging on the door with no nails or glue.
  • I bought a very thin mirror at Staples. I believe it was about 18"x36". I used 1 1/4" self tapping screws and a stud finder to mount to the wall studs.


  • I installed a thin full-length mirror on a TT bathroom door with 'industrial strength' Velcro. It held great but I understand there is a very slight risk that exposure to excessive heat over time might cause the Velcro to deteriorate. It was fine for the years we owned it.
  • Ditto on NOT mounting it on the door. I've seen friends mirrors shattered in an RV, not pretty.

    My MH came with the full length mirror mounted on the wall....and it's still hanging in one piece!
  • I would be somewhat hesitant to mount a full length mirror simply because of the flexing and bumping/bouncing of the trailer in transit. Some of the FR units mounted a 1/2 size mirror outside the bathroom door and apparently with no problem. You could contact FR and ask for some tech support. OR.....you could use both the Liquid Nails for Mirrors + the plastic mirror clips with plastic anchors for extra support. Before you jump, remember that this is most likely a forever mod....assuming it stays where you want it. if things don't work out, you'll be in the market for a new door.
  • I read two reviews for the Liquid Nails for Mirrors product and it basically got an F. Two reviews...both said it didn't work and one guy insisted he followed the instructions to the letter. The other said it required additional clips and supports. So, I guess I want to know the best way to install those clips on a hollow core door.
