Wall Buddies Wood Large - 1 Pair
S-HWR-W-3300
About the product
Wall buddies are self-leveling sawtooth hangers that come in pairs, unlike traditional sawtooth hangers. The hangers strengthen the upper corners of frames like corner braces and eliminate the stress on frame rails and corner joints, while their sawtooth edges allow frames to be level and flush with the wall.

-
Supports up to 80 lbs

Instructions
-
Place the frame face-down on a blanket or soft surface.
-
Position the wall buddies on the upper corners, by the inner edges of the frame, and mark the places for pilot holes.
-
Pre-drill pilot holes for screws to prevent wood splitting.
-
Install Wall Buddies Hangers using the screws provided. Left and right hangers are marked. Depending on the weight of the frame, it may not be necessary to use all screws.
TIP: Always double-check that the Wall Buddies screw length you use will not break out on the front face of your frames with the hangers installed. Use shorter than standard screws only when absolutely necessary to avoid break-out. Reducing the length of hanger screws also reduces hanger holding power.
-
Measure the distance between the arrow marks on the left and right hangers.
-
Nail the two special Wall Buddies wall hooks into the wall, spaced apart at the same distance and as level as possible.
-
Hang the frame so that the sawtooth edges of each hanger rest on the exposed shank of the nail inside the special wall hooks.
-
To level the frame, slide it left or right with a slight lifting motion.

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.
