What is the best way to hang a mirror, without putting screws thru it, that is about 70 lbs with a wide wooden frame?

Get two eye hooks and screw into frame on the back about 1/3 way down from top. Install picture hanging wire through hook loops. Make sure that the eye hooks and wire are large enough to handle the weight of the mirror (they both come in different sizes). Make sure that the large nails or screws that you hang the mirror from are anchored in wall studs. Good Luck!
