Medium 1-Hole Hanger

About the product

Medium 1-hole D-rings are narrow frame back hangers with a doubled-over steel strap. They are a more compact alternative to screw eye hangers for attaching wire to picture frames. The inside wire or ring wrapped around the strap is the most among D-rings, making this hanger more durable than others.

• For wood frames

• Measures 1 1/4" long and 5/8" wide, strap measures 3/8" wide

• Holds small, lightweight items up to 10 lbs

• Includes #6 x 1/2" screws

• Can be used directly as an art hanger or together with hanging wire

Instructions 

With picture wire:

1. Place the frame face down on a blanket or soft surface.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. Install the medium 1-hole D-ring hanger on the frame using appropriate length screws. Note: Appropriate screw length will depend on the item you are hanging, such as thickness of a frame and weight of a picture.

6. Attach picture wire to the hangers. (Note: Appropriate wire size will depend on the picture’s weight.) 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.

7. Hang the picture on the wall.

Without picture wire:

1. Place the frame face down on a blanket or soft surface.

2. Align 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. 

3. Mark this distance on both corners.

4. 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.

5. Install the medium 1-hole D-ring on the frame using appropriate length screws. 

6. Ensure 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 hangers on the frame.

7. Hang the picture on the wall by placing the rings of the hangers directly onto the picture hooks.
