Instructions
With picture wire:
-
Place the frame face down on a blanket or soft surface.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Install the 2-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.
-
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.
-
Hang the picture on the wall.
Without picture wire:
-
Place the frame face down on a blanket or soft surface.
-
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.
-
Mark this distance on both corners.
-
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.
-
Install the 2-hole D-ring on the frame using appropriate length screws.
-
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.
-
Hang the picture on the wall by placing the rings of the hangers directly onto the picture hooks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q How do I choose the right wood frame hanger?
Start with how you want to hang: with wire or without. D-ring hangers and strap hangers pair with picture hanging wire for adjustable positioning. Sawtooth hangers and Wall Buddies offer wire-free hanging where the frame hooks directly onto a wall screw or nail. Consider your frame weight to pick the right capacity. For a full walkthrough, see our guide: Everything You Need to Know About Wood Frame Hangers.
Q How do I install wood frame hangers and what tools do I need?
Most wood frame hangers install with a screwdriver and the included screws. D-rings and strap hangers screw into the back of the frame. Nailess sawtooth hangers have prongs that press directly into wood—no screws needed. Installation instructions are included with each product.
Q How much weight can wood frame hangers safely hold?
Weight capacity varies by hanger type and size. This collection includes options from lightweight hangers for small frames to heavy-duty strap hangers for large pieces. Check each product listing for the specific weight rating.
Q Can I use these hangers with wire?
D-ring hangers and strap hangers are designed to work with picture hanging wire—install two on opposite sides of the frame and string wire between them. Sawtooth hangers hang directly on a wall screw or nail without wire. Choose the hanging method that best suits your project.
Q Will these hangers work with metal frames?
This collection is designed specifically for wooden frames. For metal frames, see our metal frame hangers collection, which includes snap-in, slide-in, and clip-on designs for industry-standard metal frame channels.
