FAQs

What tools do I need?

You will typically need a hammer, a screwdriver (Phillips or flathead, depending on the screws), a drill (for certain anchors), a level, and a measuring tape.

What if I don't know the weight of my picture?

Estimate the weight by lifting the picture. If in doubt, choose a hanger rated for a higher weight than you think is necessary.

Can I use this kit on concrete walls?

While the kit includes some anchors, concrete walls often require specialized fixings. Consider using concrete screws or masonry anchors, which are not included.

How do I use the wire?

The copper wire can be used to create a hanging loop on the back of pictures that don't already have one. Secure the wire to the frame using Screw Eyes or by threading it through the frame.

What are the different types of anchors for?

Fish Anchors are suitable for use in plasterboard/drywall. Other anchors like Red Anchors are suitable for other wall types. Always choose the correct anchor for your wall.

How do I remove a picture hanging without damaging the wall?

Carefully remove the picture and the hanging hardware. If there are small holes, you can fill them with spackle or wall filler and touch up the paint.

Troubleshooting

Picture is unstable or crooked.

Check that the hanging hardware is securely installed. Adjust the position of the hooks or re-install if necessary.

Picture is too heavy for the hanger.

Replace the hanger with one that has a higher weight capacity. Ensure the hanger is appropriate for the wall type.

Fixing doesn't hold in the wall.

Ensure you are using the correct fixing for the wall type (e.g., use anchors for drywall or plaster). Try a different type of fixing, or consider using a different location.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation: Before hanging any picture, assess the wall type (drywall, plaster, wood, etc.) and the weight of the picture. This will determine which fixings to use.
  2. Choosing the Right Fixings: Select the appropriate hangers, hooks, nails, or anchors based on the picture's weight and wall type.
  3. Installation: Follow the instructions on the packaging for each specific fixing type. Ensure fixings are installed securely.
  4. Compatibility: This kit is compatible with most common wall types. However, always ensure the chosen fixings are appropriate for the wall material.
