Get mirror mastic whereever you buy the mirrors and bed them with that. If
they do break, they won't fall all over the place. Use glass clips as well
to hold them in place while the mastic sets.

Anyone have suggestions for mirrors? I need to set mirrors in the head
cabinet doors. Glass is just inherently dangerous on sailboats. I have
been
experimenting with acrylic mirrors but they haze up very quickly. Plate
glass mirrors are way to heavy. Now I am thinking about a double strength
glass mirror and backing it with 4 mm meranti. Maybe bedding them in
epoxy
or 4200 to hold pieces in place if it gets broken.

Any other ideas?

After a few days of cruising being covered in sunscreen and rinsing in
salt water, its best not to look at oneself anyway.

True for me but when you have 2 women in the crew mirrors are an essential
piece of equipment. :-)
