A Washer Hanger

I made a large mirror frame recently, which needed to hang flat against the wall rather than lean outward, a side-effect of using picture frame wire. A keyhole slot offered a good solution, but I didn't have the appropriate router bit to make it. Then I remembered a method I once saw used on an old frame.

To create a hanger, the maker had drilled a shallow recess to accept a flush-mounted metal washer. Then a second, deeper hole had been drilled inside the recess that was offset and tangent to it, and toward the top of the frame. The washer, which had a couple of holes drilled through it - was installed into the shallow recess with a couple of small screws - creating a strong, lipped recess to accept the head of a nail or screw. It worked great for my mirror. PW
