Instructions

Position the sawtooth hanger so that it’s centered left-to-right on the top rail, a little down from the upper edge of the frame. The serrated edge should face down.
-
If installing on extremely hard wood, drill small pilot holes for the sawtooth hanger’s screws.
-
Screw in the sawtooth hanger using a screwdriver, taking care not to break the glass on the frame, if any.

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.
