FAQs

Can I use these hooks on brick or concrete walls?

No, these hooks are specifically designed for drywall, plaster, and timber walls. They will not penetrate masonry.

How much weight can one No.2 hook support?

While capacity varies by wall condition, they are designed to support standard medium-weight frames effectively.

Will these leave large holes in my wall?

No, the tempered pins are very thin and leave only a tiny pinhole, which is easily covered with a dab of wall putty or spackle.

Are the pins included in the package?

Yes, each pack includes 40 high-quality tempered pins matched to the No.2 hooks.

What tools do I need for installation?

You only need a standard hammer to install these hooks.

Troubleshooting

Pin is difficult to drive into the wall

You may have encountered a wall stud or metal corner bead; move the hook slightly to the left or right.

Hook feels loose or wobbly

Ensure the pin has been hammered in at the correct downward angle and is fully seated against the hook bracket.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality tempered pins prevent bending during installation
  • Generous 40-piece count provides excellent value for multiple projects
  • Gold finish adds a professional touch to hardware
  • Slim profile ensures a flush fit against the wall
  • Versatile size suitable for a wide range of picture frame types

Cons

  • Not intended for use on concrete or brick walls
  • Requires a hammer for installation, which may mark delicate surfaces
  • Gold finish may be visible if not completely hidden by the frame

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, hold the X-Hook in the desired position against your wall. Using a light-weight hammer, gently tap the tempered pin through the angled opening at the top of the hook. Ensure the pin is driven in at a downward angle to maximize shear strength. These hooks are fully compatible with drywall, plaster, and timber-stud walls. For maintenance, check the pins annually to ensure they remain flush against the hook, especially if you live in an area with high humidity or frequent temperature shifts that may cause minor wall expansion.
