YUOILHY Large Sawtooth Picture Frame Hangers with Screws - 30 Pack, Supports 50 Ibs, Picture Hanging Hooks for Hanging Photo Frames Canvas Artwork Paintings

Why I picked up these sawtooth hangers

I hang a lot of frames—photos, small canvases, the occasional heavy mirror—and I like having one reliable hardware kit that just works. I picked up the YUOILHY sawtooth hangers because they’re billed as “large,” made from rust‑resistant steel, and come in a generous 30‑pack with screws and three finishes. On paper, it’s a straightforward proposition: beefier teeth for bite, included hardware for convenience, and enough quantity to outfit a gallery wall without running out midway through.

After running them through a string of installs across pine, oak, and MDF frames, here’s how they performed.

What’s in the box

The set includes:
- 30 large sawtooth hangers in black, silver, and gold finishes
- 60 Phillips screws (8 mm length)

Two screws per hanger is the right call for stability, and the 8 mm length is short enough to avoid poking through most standard frame backs. The three finishes are handy; I matched black to darker frames and silver/gold where the hardware might be visible or where I wanted the back to feel cohesive with the frame’s tone.

Build quality and design

These are substantially larger than the small stamped sawtooth strips you find in cheap hardware assortments. The steel feels stout, the edges are cleanly formed, and the teeth are crisp and evenly spaced. That tooth geometry matters more than it seems; it’s what allows you to micro‑adjust a frame left or right on the wall without losing engagement.

The finish on each piece is smooth with no burrs, and the plating/paint on my set survived installation without chipping. The metal has enough spring to grip a nail head or sawtooth hook securely but doesn’t deform under normal torque when you’re driving the screws.

The included screws are appropriately sized for softwoods and MDF backs. The heads are small and sit flush in the recessed slots of the hanger, which reduces any rocking once mounted. I did find the screw heads a bit prone to cam‑out if you power through with a drill; more on that below.

Installation notes that actually help

These hangers are designed for wood frames that are at least 1/2 inch wide and 1/2 inch thick. That’s a sensible minimum. On anything thinner, you risk splitting or telegraphing the screw points through the face.

What worked best for me:
- Mark dead center. Sawtooth hangers are happiest centered on the top rail; it keeps the frame level and reduces the tendency to slide when bumped.
- Pre‑drill pilot holes. A 1/16-inch bit for pine/MDF and a hair larger for hardwoods prevents splitting and keeps the screws tracking straight.
- Use a hand driver for final torque. If you start with a drill, finish by hand. The included screws can strip if you lean on them with a driver on high clutch.
- Add felt bumpers to the bottom corners of the frame. This keeps the frame from scuffing the wall and helps the teeth bite consistently without the frame rocking.

Mounting to the wall is simple: a small finish nail set on a slight upward angle or a commercial sawtooth picture hook works well. If you want more holding power without visible hardware, a pan‑head screw in a drywall anchor also engages the teeth nicely.

Weight capacity and real‑world performance

The claim is up to 50 lbs. I didn’t push them that far because sawtooth hangers, by design, distribute weight less forgivingly than D‑rings and wire on heavier pieces. Here’s where I landed:

• Up to ~15–20 lbs: No drama. Standard framed art with glass, medium canvases, and wood décor hung cleanly and stayed put.
• Around 25–30 lbs: Still solid with one centered hanger on a sturdy hardwood frame, but I felt better switching to two hangers spaced apart for wider pieces to reduce sway.
• Above 30 lbs: I’d move to D‑rings and wire or a French cleat system. These hangers are strong, but sawtooth isn’t my first choice for truly heavy or high‑value items.

Grip on the wall is excellent. The larger teeth give you more engagement points and make those tiny left/right corrections painless. Once seated, frames didn’t drift over time, even in a hallway where they get bumped occasionally.

Where they shine

• Batch projects: The 30‑pack is perfect for building a gallery wall or outfitting a run of frames for a show. I never ran short mid‑project.
• Clean look: For small to medium pieces, a sawtooth keeps the back of the frame tidy without wire and hardware clutter.
• Quick installs: Two screws and done. Faster than wiring frames, especially when you’re hanging a lot of pieces at once.
• Finish options: Being able to match the hardware to the frame color feels minor until it isn’t—black on black frames just looks intentional.

Limitations and things to watch

• Screw softness: The included screws work, but the heads will strip if you over‑torque with a drill. Pilot holes and a hand driver solve this, or swap to higher‑quality screws if you’re working in dense hardwood.
• Frame requirements: These need at least 1/2 inch of solid wood. Thin budget frames and hollow plastic backs aren’t a good fit.
• Heavy loads: While the hangers themselves are sturdy, I treat sawtooth as a sub‑30 lbs solution. For heavier art—especially with glass—use D‑rings/wire or a cleat for peace of mind.
• Large size: The “large” format is a plus for grip, but if you’re working with very small frames, these can feel oversized and may stick out beyond narrow rails.

Tips for better results

• Use two hangers on wide frames to minimize side‑to‑side sway. Measure carefully so the teeth land at the same height.
• If you’re anchoring into drywall, pick a proper picture hook rated for your load or use an appropriate drywall anchor with a pan‑head screw.
• Label your frames’ top edge before attaching hardware so you don’t accidentally install the hanger upside down on similar‑looking sides.
• For MDF backs, a drop of wood glue in the pilot hole helps the threads hold over time.

Durability over time

The rust‑resistant steel is a nice touch. In a humid room (bathroom adjacent hallway), mine showed no discoloration or pitting after a few weeks. The finish on the black hangers stayed intact during install, and none of the teeth deformed after repeated rehangs while I fussed with spacing on a gallery wall.

Value

Between the quantity, the inclusion of screws, and the three finishes, the kit is easy to recommend for anyone who frames regularly. If you only hang one or two pieces a year, this is probably more than you need. But for a home office redo, a studio, or a small exhibit, it’s priced right and spares you runs to the hardware store.

Alternatives to consider

• D‑rings and wire: Better for heavier pieces and uneven walls; slightly slower to install and more visible from the back.
• Security hangers: Great for public spaces or earthquake‑prone areas where you want anti‑lift hardware.
• French cleat: Overkill for small frames, ideal for very heavy, large art or mirrors.

Bottom line and recommendation

The YUOILHY sawtooth hangers are sturdy, well‑finished, and genuinely “large” in a way that improves grip and adjustability over the flimsy strips you get in budget frame kits. Installation is fast, the three finishes are thoughtful, and the included screws are the right size—just be gentle with power drivers or swap in higher‑grade screws for hardwood frames.

I recommend these hangers for small to medium frames up to roughly the mid‑20‑pound range, for gallery walls where speed and minor adjustability matter, and for anyone who wants a tidy, wire‑free setup. For truly heavy or irreplaceable pieces, step up to D‑rings with wire or a cleat, but for everyday framing, this 30‑pack is a reliable, versatile staple to keep in the shop.
