How to hang a big picture frame on the wall.

Hang your picture on a stud. Clean the surface of your wall with a 1 1 solution of water and rubbing alcohol. Use adhesive strips and utility hooks designed to hold the size of your frame. The anchors and hooks are separate in the package.

Find a wall stud using a stud finder or by gently tapping the wall until you hear a solid rather than a hollow sound. You can use a drill or screwdriver to fasten it to the wall. You will hear a strong klap sound when the ned magnet attaches to the alpha steel tape. Depending on how large you go heavy duty hanging wire and hooks might also be needed.

A d ring named for its shape attaches to the back of the picture frame and creates a stronger foundation for hanging. These keep oversized art more secure on the wall. But although it may seem easy hanging a picture properly is much more than a haphazard task. Drywall has a stud or wooden support brace about every 16 inches 40 6 cm.

Remove the back liner from the adhesive strip and apply it directly to the wall where you want to hang your picture. You can adjust the picture frame by moving it clockwise or anticlockwise without pulling. Then just hang your art on it. For heavier pictures it is best to hang your picture on a stud.

Pick the large picture frame and attach the it to the wall so that the ned magnet is between the two steel tapes.
