Instructions
-
Mark the position of the hanger on the wall using a pencil, then hold the picture hook in the marked position.
-
Hammer the nail gently into the nail socket until the hook is flush against the wall. The raised nail socket on the hook will guide the nails into the wall at the proper 45-degree angle. Avoid over hammering as it can compromise the hook’s holding power and damage your wall.
-
Hang the frame.
-
To remove a brass-plated hook, pull the nail back at a 45-degree angle with a slight twisting motion using fingers or soft-faced pliers. Prying hooks away from the wall with a screwdriver or a similar tool will often damage the wall surface.
-
To reuse a brass-plated hanger, ensure the hook and nail have not been bent or deformed.
