Abstract
A wall-mounting brace for mirrors, artwork, and similar objects is a device that is utilized to secure an object such as a mirror to a surface such as a wall. The device features an elongated brace that is used to hold the top of the mirror to the wall while the bottom of the mirror is held in place with a fastener such as a J-channel. A plurality of fastener holes present on a mounting plate of the elongated brace is utilized to secure the elongated brace to the surface. The mirror is held in place on the surface by a retention plate and a connector plate of the elongated brace. A cover plate is utilized to selectively cover and uncover the plurality of fastener holes. The cover plate may be hingedly attached to the elongated brace or removable from the elongated brace altogether.
