A staple among wood frame hardware, the classic D-ring hanger is designed to make hanging wooden frames a streamlined experience. Each hanger is made from plated steel, and features a D-shaped ring held by a folded heavy steel strap. D ring hangers and strap hangers provide a strong, flat mounting point for hanging wire or hooking directly onto a wall screw or hook, making them the ideal frame hangers for framers, galleries, and homeowners. Available in single-hole and multiple-hole designs and sold in bulk packs.

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.
