<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KingofThings, post: 147150, member: 468&quot;]First of all never hang anything that has any real weight by one point, always 2 and if huge then even more points or a French cleat system.</p><p>2 points will allow you to level a picture that has wire or cord and keep it level. Same with a French cleat. This may take some fiddling but will work.</p><p>I have also just used the female part of the cleat, or sections of cleat, to support wire.</p><p>Never hang any picture from the top of the frame unless it&#039;s extremely light. Even then, over time, it will eventually bow and possibly fail entirely.</p><p>Unless I can hit a wall stud I use anchors and screws appropriate to the weight.</p><p>Simple nails with heads, and driven in angled down, will work for many light things, even those pre-formed brass plated nails with the disc work well within weight restrictions.</p><p>I only use those stick on ones with the hook for tiny light things if necessary. If using two I angle these appropriately.</p><p>I&#039;ve used AMS hangers not only to lock pictures to reduce theft but as hangers for heavy items.</p><p>There are many different ways to hang things. I always strive for some overkill. I&#039;ve hung enormous and extremely heavy items that have never moved or fallen. Just think it out well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
