FAQs

How many frames can I hang with one kit?

The kit is designed to hang up to four small frames or two larger frames.

What kind of walls can I use the kit on?

The kit is suitable for most standard wall types. Ensure the pins are properly inserted.

Can I use this kit for heavy frames?

The kit is designed for smaller and medium-sized frames. For very heavy frames, you may need a different hanging solution.

What if I run out of hooks?

The kit includes multiple hooks, but if you need more, you can purchase additional picture hanging hooks separately.

How do I attach the wire to the frame?

Use the provided screw eyes. Screw them into the back of your picture frame, and then thread the picture wire through the eyes.

What if the hook doesn't go in the wall?

Ensure you're using the correct hammer and pin-insertion technique. For very hard walls, you may need to pre-drill a small pilot hole.

Troubleshooting

Picture frame is falling.

Ensure the hooks are properly installed and are rated for the weight of your picture frame. Check that the wire is securely attached to the frame.

Hook bent or damaged.

Replace the hook with a new one from the kit or a suitable replacement.

Picture wire frayed.

Replace the picture wire to avoid frame falling and potential damage.
