FAQs
What is included in the Hiatt Picture Hanging Kit?
The kit includes a spirit level, a roll of cord, six double hooks, twelve single hooks, and eighteen nails.
What types of walls is this kit suitable for?
This kit is suitable for most wall types, including drywall and wood. For other materials, always check the wall's ability to support the weight of the picture.
How do I ensure my picture hangs level?
Use the spirit level provided in the kit to make sure your picture is perfectly level before you secure it.
How much weight can the kit support?
This kit is ideal for medium-weight photographs and paintings. Always check the weight capacity of the hooks and wall to ensure it can support your picture.
Can I use this kit for heavy pictures?
This kit is designed for medium-weight pictures. For heavier items, you may need to use more robust hanging systems and wall anchors.
What if I need more cord?
The kit includes a roll of cord. If you need more, you can purchase additional picture hanging cord separately.
How do I remove the hooks and nails without damaging the wall?
When removing the nails, gently wiggle them to loosen them, then carefully pull them out. For hooks, minimize damage by pulling straight out of the wall.
Troubleshooting
Picture is not level
Check the spirit level and reposition the picture, adjusting the hook placement as needed. Ensure the picture is level before securing the nails.
Hook is not holding the picture
Make sure the hook is properly inserted into the frame. If the picture is too heavy, consider using a double hook or more robust hanging system.
Nail is bending or not going into the wall
Ensure you are using the correct size nail for the wall type. Pre-drilling a small pilot hole may help, especially for harder wall materials.
