Product Information
Full details
These X-Hooks brass-finished metal picture rail hangers are designed for users with traditional built-in picture rails or mouldings who need a secure way to hang framed artwork or mirrors. The key benefit is their ability to create a stable anchor point using existing picture rails, eliminating the need for wall drilling. A caveat is that they are exclusively designed for use with compatible picture rail systems.

FAQs
What type of picture rails are these hangers compatible with?
These hangers are designed specifically for traditional, built-in picture rail moldings that have a lip or edge to hook onto.
Can I use these without screws?
Yes, you can use them without screws by simply hooking them over the picture rail. However, using the screws provides added stability, especially for heavier items.
How much weight can these hangers support?
The product information does not specify a maximum weight capacity. It is recommended to use caution and consider the weight of the item being hung. For heavier frames, utilizing the screws for added security is advised.
What material are the hangers made of?
The hangers are made from steel with a brass plating finish.
Are screws included?
Yes, two screws are included with each hanger for optional fixing.
How do I clean the brass finish?
Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Mild brass polish can be used if needed, followed by drying.
Troubleshooting
Hanger slips off the picture rail.
Ensure the picture rail is compatible (traditional style). Try positioning the hanger further along the rail or use the included screws for a permanent fix.
Hook feels loose on the rail.
Use the provided screws to secure the hanger to the picture rail. If the rail itself is damaged or warped, it may not provide adequate support.
Brass finish tarnishes over time.
Gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn tarnish, use a mild brass cleaner following product instructions, and then wipe dry.
