Instructions
-
Lay the picture frame face down on a blanket or soft surface.
-
If only one hanger will be used, center it left-to-right on the top rail, a little down from the upper edge of the frame. The serrated edge should face down.
-
Use two mega sawtooth hangers for larger frames, spacing them apart on the top rail. Make sure they are level with each other on the frame and an equal distance down from the upper edge.
-
Mark and drill pilot holes before installing the hanger screws, especially on hardwood frames.
-
Use the longest screws you can, but check to be sure they will not break out on the surface of the frame. The #8 x 1/2" screws provided are usually adequate.
-
Make sure that the hardware in the wall that the picture will be hanging on is solid and in no danger of pulling out of the wall under load. If the nail or screw is not in a wall stud, it must otherwise be secure in the wall and fits securely on the teeth of the hanger.

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.
