About the product
Wire hangers help keep hanging wire in place when hanging picture frames. Also known as a wall dog wire hanger due to its pre drilled hole for wall dog screws, this aluminum safety hanger has an extruded lip that prevents wire from slipping out easily when the frame is lifted. This provides a larger point of contact to hold the wire securely in place.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q Can I remove cleat hangers without damaging my walls?
Yes, you can remove French cleats with minimal wall damage if you use quality anchors. Whenever possible, mount them into a wall stud for a cleaner removal. When taking take them down, gently unscrew the wall cleat and carefully pull out the anchors.
