This guide is for individuals looking for a damage-free way to hang framed photos and artwork, especially in rented accommodations. The key benefit is secure mounting without nails, preventing wall damage and sticky residue upon removal. A caveat to consider is the weight limit for each strip size. These Command™ Picture Hanging Strips offer a strong hold using 3M's stretch-release technology, allowing for easy and clean removal.

Yes, they work well on most clean, dry, painted surfaces. For best results, clean with rubbing alcohol and allow to dry.
Grasp the tab at the bottom of the strip and pull it slowly and steadily straight down, keeping it parallel to the wall. Stretch until the strip releases.
No, Command strips are designed for single use. Once removed, they lose their adhesive strength and must be replaced with new strips.
While the medium strips have a higher weight capacity, it is generally recommended to use Command strips for picture frames. For mirrors, especially heavier ones, consider specialized Command Mirror Hanging products or other mounting solutions.
Avoid using them on wallpaper (unless specifically tested), fabric, unpainted wood, brick, or very textured surfaces. Also avoid outdoor use or on surfaces that are constantly exposed to moisture.
You should wait at least one hour after applying the strips to both the frame and the wall before hanging the frame. This allows the adhesive to bond properly.
Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. Rubbing alcohol is recommended for cleaning. Press firmly on the strips for the recommended time (30 seconds each) and wait at least one hour before hanging.
The weight limit may have been exceeded, or the surface was not properly prepared. Re-clean the surfaces, use the correct size and number of strips for the frame's weight, and ensure the 30-second press and one-hour waiting period are observed.
The removal tab was likely pulled too quickly or at the wrong angle. For future use, ensure you pull the tab slowly and straight down, parallel to the wall. Test strips in an inconspicuous area if concerned about paint adhesion.
Command strips are designed for one-time use per surface. If you need to reposition the frame, you must remove the old strips completely from both the frame and the wall, and apply new strips.
