Sawtooth Foam Hanger

About the product
Sawtooth foam hangers are quick hanging solutions with two sharp claws that puncture into the back of foam board. A serrated opening makes it easy to hold onto wall nails or screws. Foam board metal hangers are designed to hang posters or similar items mounted on foam board (foam core board) or other lightweight backing board but are not framed.

Instructions
-
Lay the foam board face down on a clean, hard surface. Note: Do not use foam board metal hangers on boards less than 3/16" thick or the hanger prongs will penetrate through to the front surface, nor on hard-faced foam board such as Gatorboard/Gatorfoam which the hanger prongs cannot penetrate.
-
Position the metal sawtooth hanger’s prongs to point toward the top edge of the back of the foam board.
-
Push the hanger down slightly and forward simultaneously until the prongs puncture the foam board core.
-
If using two sawtooth foam hangers, place each on its own nail or screw to keep foamboard-mounted art level when hung.
-
To remove a metal sawtooth foam hanger, pull it out in the opposite direction.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q How do I install sawtooth hangers and what tools or hardware do I need?
Installation depends on the type of sawtooth hanger. Nailess sawtooth hangers have built-in prongs that you press or hammer directly into the back of a wood frame—no screws or nails needed. Screw-on sawtooths require a screwdriver and the included screws. Snap-in sawtooth hangers clip into the channel of a metal frame. For a detailed walkthrough, check our guide: Do's and Don'ts When Using Sawtooth Hangers.
Q Can I remove sawtooth hangers without damaging my walls?
Yes. Sawtooth hangers attach to the back of the frame, not the wall, so removing them causes no wall damage. The frame hangs on a wall screw or nail. To remove the frame, simply lift it off the wall hardware.
Q How much weight can sawtooth hangers safely hold?
Weight capacity varies by design. Our sawtooth hangers range from lightweight nailess models suitable for small frames to our Heavy Duty and Mega Sawtooth hangers built for heavier pieces. Check each product listing for the specific weight rating.
Q What wall types are sawtooth hangers compatible with?
Sawtooth hangers mount on the frame, not the wall, so they work with any wall type as long as you use an appropriate wall screw or hook. Pair them with drywall screws for drywall, masonry anchors for brick or concrete, or wood screws for wood panels.
Q What kinds of frames or decor work best with sawtooth hangers?
Sawtooth hangers work with both wood and metal frames. Nailess and screw-on designs are best for wooden frames, while snap-in sawtooth hangers are designed for the industry-standard Nielsen metal frame channel. They are ideal for picture frames, small signs, and lightweight wall art.
