How to remove mirror screws

Mirrors are often attached to the wall using "mirror screws".

These are like regular screws, but with a chrome cap over the top, so they look classier.

The cap is attached to the screw with a small threaded screw of its own, which is fastened into the main screw.

To remove the screw, you need to remove the cap.

To remove the cap, press a large piece of Blu-Tack (or any reusable adhesive) onto the it, and then twist anti-clockwise.

Once the cap has unscrewed, you can remove the regular screw with a flat-head screwdriver.
