Instructions
-
Mark the position of the hanger on the wall using a pencil, then hold the conventional hook in the marked position.
-
Hammer the nail gently into the nail socket until the hook is flush against the wall. Maintain the proper downward nail angle consistently; elongating the nail hole in the wall will reduce the shear strength of the hook. Do not overhammer as it will weaken the nail's grip, especially in drywall.
-
If you encounter a metal stud, move the hook slightly to the left or right of the stud position.
-
If using two hooks, space them apart evenly and repeat steps 1-2. You can also double or "gang" nickel-plated hooks by placing two or three together side by side to gain additional holding power. TIP: When hanging hook & wire hung picture frames, pictures will hang straighter and be more secure over time with two conventional hangers.
-
Hang the frame.
-
To remove nickel-plated hooks, pull back directly from the nail head at the angle of the nail using fingers, pliers, or vise grips. Prying a hook away from the wall with a screwdriver or a similar tool will often damage the wall surface. TIP: If you have to use a hammer claw to remove the nail, place a flat, solid surface, like a thin book, between the hammer's head and the wall.
-
To reuse a conventional hanger, ensure the hook and nail have not been bent or deformed.
