Looking to put up a wall mirror. We have limited space and I have a left over Ikea wardrobe mirror door because HID changed her mind after we got it. It wont fit in my car, so I need to do something with it. So came up with the idea of using it as wall mirror as magically it is the same size as the wall we have left over. Now the big question is how to hang a wardrobe door as a wall mirror.
Now as you would expect someone has already done it before.. This bloke is using the mirror as his gym mirror.

So I tried to copy his idea. He is using a DIN top hat rail to fix the mirror to the wall. I did get a DIN rail from srew fix.

For the life in me, I cant work out how he can use the DIN rail to secure the mirror.
1) If I put the DIN rail on the wall, then I need brackets on the mirror that will latch onto the top of the DIN rail - but I cant find such brackets.
2) If I put the DIN rail on both, then they need to slide into each other which does not look possible
3) If I put the DIN rail on the mirror, then I need brackets on the wall and is the same problem as #1 above.
All suggestions/ideas welcome. I am not wedded to the DIN rail, so open to other ideas as well..
