Hang Picture On Depression In Wall

Choose a hanger that uses several nails for added strength.

Hang picture on depression in wall.

Hold it steady and in place for 30 to 40 seconds. Use a screwdriver and twist clockwise until the hook is in place. Hang the picture across both picture hangers. Just place the screw into the hole in the picture hook and match it up with the hole in the wall anchor.

Screw a picture hook onto the wall anchor. Hold the picture against the wall at the desired height then draw a short pencil line on the well that marks the top of where the picture will go. Some wall anchors already have a stud in them for hanging pictures in which case you can skip this step. Remove the front liner from the strip and firmly press the utility hook against the surface.

But although it may seem easy hanging a picture properly is much more than a haphazard task. If your picture is narrower use a mounting picture hanger to hang it from one point on the wall stud. With groupings the largest frame is usually best in the center or at the center bottom. If you want to hang a group of pictures for a gallery wall hang the center of the grouping at 57 inches.

Clean the surface of your wall with a 1 1 solution of water and rubbing alcohol. Remove the back liner from the adhesive strip and apply it directly to the wall where you want to hang your picture. The 57 inch standard is based on the average eye height of an adult and is the rule used to determine how high to hang pictures in museums and galleries.
