Bear Claw Screw Hanger - Gold
S-SC-BEARGX
About the product
The bear claw screw is a double-headed screw primarily for drywall. Its double head design forms a neck that fits any standard keyhole or cutout, and a sharp self-drilling tip conveniently allows you to skip the drilling process. With a bear claw screw, no pilot hole and wall anchor is required—just install it easily with a Phillips screwdriver.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q What is included in the hardware collection?
Our hardware collection contains installation screws, wall anchors, standalone wall screws, and picture hanging supplies that complement our hanging hardware. This includes pan-head screws for installing D-rings and strap hangers, wall screws like the Bear Claw and Wall Dog, drywall and concrete anchors, and tools like our bubble level.
Q How do I know which screws I need for my picture hanging hardware?
Check the product listing for the hanging hardware you're installing—it will specify the required screw size. Our most common sizes are #4, #6, and #8 pan-head screws. Many of our hanging products include screws, but replacements and bulk packs are available here.
Q Do I need wall anchors for picture hanging?
It depends on your wall type and the weight you're hanging. For drywall, lighter items can hang from a wall screw alone, but heavier items benefit from wall anchors that spread the load. For plaster, brick, and concrete, use the appropriate anchors for your surface. Our Snap Skru drywall anchors support up to 45 lbs.
Q Can I buy hardware in bulk?
Yes. Bulk packs are available for contractors, professional installers, and galleries who need large quantities of screws, anchors, and mounting hardware. Check individual product listings for available pack sizes and bulk pricing.
Q What wall types do these screws and anchors work with?
Our hardware selection covers all wall types: drywall, plaster, wood, brick, concrete, and masonry. The Bear Claw and Wall Dog drive directly into drywall and plaster. Concrete screws and masonry anchors handle hard substrates. Check each product listing for specific wall compatibility.
