Picture Hangers

Picture hangers make it easy to mount frames, mirrors, and artwork securely while protecting your walls and simplifying layout. Whether you’re building a gallery wall or hanging a single statement piece, the right hardware improves alignment, supports the correct load, and reduces the risk of slips or wall damage. This category covers picture hooks, photo frame hangers, adhesive options, and complete picture hanging kits for drywall, plaster, brick, and concrete.

Popular types and their benefits:
- Adhesive strips and hooks: quick, tool-free mounting for rentals and light frames; clean removal.
- Nail and J-hooks: fast installs on drywall and plaster; angled nails spread force for better hold.
- Screw-in hooks and anchors: higher load ratings for medium pieces; reliable in hollow walls.
- Toggle bolts and molly bolts: strong support for heavier artwork where studs aren’t available.
- D-rings and wire kits: adjustable leveling and balanced weight distribution.
- Sawtooth hangers: simple, space-saving hardware for small frames.
- French cleats and mirror clips: professional, heavy-duty support for large frames and mirrors.

How to choose and install:
- Match the hanger’s weight rating to your piece; when unsure, size up.
- Identify wall type; use masonry bits and plugs for brick or concrete.
- Whenever possible, mount into a stud; otherwise, use appropriate hollow-wall anchors.
- Use two hangers per frame to resist shifting and keep artwork level.
- Add clear bumpers to prevent scuffs and promote airflow behind frames.
- Measure twice, mark lightly, and level before committing. A small torpedo level and stud finder speed up accurate placement.
- Avoid electrical and plumbing lines; use a detector or check building plans.

Regularly check heavier pieces for loosening over time, especially in high-traffic or humid areas. With the right picture hanging hardware, you’ll get clean installs, straight lines, and long-lasting hold—ideal for home decor, office displays, and gallery-quality results.
