    Depending on the weight of the mirror these might do. If so shop around for best price.

    Edit.

    What might be more cost effective is something like Gripfill/ No More Nails or similar and can be bought quite cheaply from Toolstation. You would have to temporarily support the mirror until the adhesive had initially 'grabbed' the mirror. Make sure the temporary support (batten on bricks or whatever) is level before placing the mirror on it and fixing to the door.

    how big and how heavy is the mirror

    if you use the solution suggested above that is a permanent fix and to get it off at a later date would probably break the mirror

    If it is a square mirror i would look at mirror corners

    Good quality sticky pads - get a thin/light mirror and go to a proper hardware shop as opposed to using stationery store ones

    Second no nails here. Rather than keeping it propped up just take the wardrobe door off, lay it on the floor and ensure you get the mirror centrally on the door.

    Use mirror adhsive, support with duck tape until set

    Do not use no more nails as it is not flexible and can cause the mirror to cracks

  • I would say you should use hook and loops pads, but only the heavy duty ones by Velcro or 3M. We use them to hold up large magentic white boards and mirrors. Hope this helps
