Instructions
With picture wire:
-
Place the frame face down on a blanket or soft surface.
-
On the frame’s side rails, measure between one-quarter and one-third of the way down from the top of the frame. Mark this distance equally on both side rails.
-
If the frame width allows it, position the hangers in alignment with the angle the picture wire will take when the frame is hung and the wire is under tension.
-
Pre-drill all screw holes to avoid splitting the wood of the frame. Take care not to drill through to the front of the frame.
-
Install the strap hangers on the frame using appropriate length screws.
-
Attach heavy picture wire to the hangers. Leave enough slack in the picture wire so that when it is pulled taut from the back of the frame, the center point of the wire reaches about half the distance between the hanger and the top of the frame.
-
Hang the picture on the wall.
Without picture wire:
-
Place the frame face down on a blanket or soft surface.
-
Align strap hangers vertically at the top corners of the frame. Measure their positions at an equal distance down from the frame's top edge, far enough to allow the frame to hide the picture hooks when the picture is hung on the wall.
-
Mark this distance on both corners.
-
Pre-drill all screw holes to avoid splitting the wood of the frame. Take care not to drill through to the front of the frame.
-
Install the strap hangers on the frame using appropriate length screws.
-
Make sure that the picture hooks on which the picture will be mounted are perfectly level on the wall and spaced apart at the same distance as the distance between the strap hangers on the frame.
-
Hang the picture on the wall by placing the rings of the hangers directly onto the picture hooks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q How do I install D-ring hangers and what tools or hardware do I need?
D-ring hangers are screwed into the back of a wooden frame using the included screws and a screwdriver. Position two D-rings on opposite sides of the frame, about one-third down from the top. You can then string picture hanging wire between them, or hook each D-ring directly onto a wall screw or hook. For a complete walkthrough, see our guide: Everything You Need to Know About D-Rings and Strap Hangers.
Q Can I remove D-ring hangers without damaging my walls?
Yes. D-ring hangers attach to the back of your frame, not your wall, so removing them won't cause any wall damage. Simply lift the frame off the wall hardware, then unscrew the D-rings if needed.
Q How much weight can D-ring hangers safely hold?
Weight capacity depends on the D-ring size and the number of screw holes. Our D-ring and strap hangers range from small single-hole hangers for lighter frames to large strap hangers rated for heavier pieces. Check each product listing for the indicated weight rating.
Q What wall types are D-ring hangers compatible with?
Since D-rings mount on the frame, they work with any wall type. Pair them with the appropriate wall hardware: standard hooks for drywall and plaster, masonry anchors for brick and concrete, or wood screws for wood panels.
Q What kinds of frames or decor work best with D-ring hangers?
D-ring hangers are designed for wooden frames. They provide a strong, flat mounting point for hanging wire or for hooking directly onto a wall screw. They are a staple among framers, galleries, and homeowners for hanging picture frames, canvas art, and mirrors.
