Our product comprises two key components: a durable stainless steel frame and a sacrificial layer of polycarbonate positioned in front of the mirror. The stainless steel frame offers robustness and is resistant to minor scratches, which can typically be buffed out using a polishing wheel and a mild abrasive. The polycarbonate layer, designed to protect the mirror, can be easily repaired from scratches with a heat gun, a process that is straightforward and demonstrated in the linked YouTube video. In cases where the polycarbonate layer sustains deep scratches that are beyond repair, it can be conveniently removed and replaced, ensuring the longevity and aesthetic appeal of the product.

This product is available in 304L Stainless Steel and 316L Stainless Steel. For most restroom facilities, 304L is the most cost effective solution. It provides good corrosion resistance in non salt water environments. 316L is preferred by our customers that are located near or on the ocean. Navy ships and public facilities at beaches should opt for the 316L material.

The AA-MTL mirror is ADA compliant when properly mounted and installed.

Customers of this product include public schools, parks, National Forest Service, California Department of Transportation (CALTRANS), and the United States Navy.

Inspection Prior to Installation

Maintaining the flatness of Polished Stainless Steel Mirrors is crucial, particularly for larger sizes. Upon immediate receipt, it's imperative to photograph the unopened packaging from all angles to validate its condition upon arrival, ensuring any shipping damages are thoroughly documented. Before installation, inspect each mirror for quality, which involves carefully removing the protective shrink wrap while it's laid flat and meticulously examining the reflective surface for any abnormalities from potential physical impact. Some minor mirror abnormalities may be considered normal depending on size (see Mirror Surface notes below). While a video of the unpacking process is preferred, at a minimum, photos must be taken. Report any deformities to us before installation; post-installation, mirrors are deemed accepted by the contractor or end user.

Mirror Surface and Reflection Quality

Though visually similar to glass mirrors, our stainless steel mirrors are crafted through distinct materials and processes to achieve a reflective finish. While generally indistinguishable from glass mirrors, occasional minor imperfections may slightly affect the reflected image. Additionally, due to the light passing through the plexiglass before it hits the reflective surface, there can be a "double image" effect. This occurs because light reflects off both the plexiglass surface and the stainless steel mirror surface, causing a slight offset between the two images. This phenomenon is a normal result of the physics involved.

Primarily sold as a safer alternative to glass, especially where breakage poses a liability, these mirrors are ideal for high-impact or high-vibration environments like gyms, public restrooms, school hallways, or vehicle engine bays. Customers choose them, acknowledging the potential for minor reflective discrepancies and the "double image" effect, valuing their enhanced safety and durability in scenarios where traditional mirrors are prone to damage. The purpose of these mirrors is not to provide a perfect mirror reflection but rather an acceptable mirror reflection while ultimately providing superior durability for high vibration, impact or vandal prone facilities.

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your vandal-resistant framed mirror, it is crucial to prevent moisture from getting between the sacrificial plexiglass and the polished stainless steel reflective surface. If moisture accumulates in this area, it can lead to mold growth between the two layers.

1. Use a Mild Cleaning Agent: Clean the surfaces using a mild cleaning agent, such as Windex, and a microfiber cloth. This will help avoid scratching the mirror or plexiglass.
2. Ensure Complete Dryness: Before reassembling the mirror, make sure that both the plexiglass and the reflective surface are completely dry. This will help prevent moisture buildup and potential mold growth.

By following these instructions, you can maintain the integrity and appearance of your vandal-resistant mirror.

Pre-Installation Cleaning Required: Before installation, it is mandatory to clean both the plexiglass and the reflective surface. This step is essential due to potential moisture that might have crept in during shipping. Ensure that both surfaces are completely dry before reassembling the mirror to prevent moisture buildup and potential mold growth.

All of Vandal Stop Products are made by hand in the USA using American-sourced stainless steel. While some products might be available in stock, most are made to order. Our general estimated lead times are:

• Quantity 1 - 10 = ~4 to 6 weeks for production
• Quantity 11 - 50 = ~4 to 8 weeks for production
• Quantity 51 - 100 = ~6 to 10 weeks for production
• Quantity 101 - 200 = ~10 to 16 weeks for production
• Quantity 200+ = Call for estimate

Due to holidays and winter weather, some production delays may occur during the months of November, December, January, and February. 

Due to increased demand, more time be required for production. If you have a critical delivery date requirement, please call or email to verify lead times prior to placing an order.

Stocked Items

For certain items that we sell often, we do our best to either keep inventory on the shelf or keep a constant production cue going. For items that are considered "stocked" we will generally be able to ship within 5 business days or less.

Why Are Stocked Items More Expensive?

We're adapting to your needs! While we specialize in made-to-order products, we recognize the growing demand for immediate availability. Adjusting to this requires foresight in demand anticipation, material procurement, initiating stock production, and warehousing—all incurring additional costs. Consequently, our stocked items are priced to reflect these overheads. For customers who can accommodate a production lead time, we're pleased to offer discounted pricing as a thank you for your flexibility.

Credit Card orders will be charged at the time of checkout. If you wish to be billed when your order ships, you can use the "Pay by Purchase Order" option on the payment section of checkout. You will be asked to upload a PDF copy of your Purchase Order along with a reseller certificate of tax exempt status is applicable. We will invoice you once your order has been shipped.
