I have an antique wood bathroom cabinet with a mirrored door. How would you recommend attaching to drywall? I'm thinking the best way is to drill throught the back wall of the cabinet. I'd like to avoid that, however, heavy duty picture hanging is not adequate, I tried that. The mirror is quite heavy.

thanks

With a real heavy mirror and a solid wood cabinet, you've got alot of weight, best to go thru the back and either attach it into the wall studs, or use a heavy duty toggle bolt system to attach it to the drywall.

Try to position the fasteners behind shelves, or just under them to hide them from view. Good luck!
