In this in-depth review of Command™ Picture Hanging Strips, you’ll learn exactly how to use them (step-by-step with pictures), common mistakes when using them, which surfaces they work on, the different sizes available, the most significant downsides, and common consumer complaints. Command™ Narrow Picture Hanging Strips are our innovative solution for hanging narrow picture frames securely and damage free. Also, if you have kids you’re tempting fate as several kids have literally died due to unintended tip overs.I used a large picture hook with large nail and strong wire to secure a small bookcase to the wall and it’s worked wonderfully. The strips adhered well to the painted wooden walls; in every case, the failure was attributed to the strips attached to the varnished wooden frames (varnished wood is listed as an approved surface). I purchased a packet of Command no damage strips which included multiple sizes per weight of picture.

If you’re not sure how much a frame weighs, stand on a scale, record your current weight, then pick up the frame and step back on the scale to see the difference.Regardless no one wants to put a picture up (no matter what it is worth) with this product and see it fall off, it just does not work reliably. In addition to picture hanging strips, they manufacture clips for outdoor lights, hooks for hanging things on glasswindows and doors, caddies for wall storage, and much more. Ask your landlord to be reasonable – I’m sure he/she would want your home to be a safe environment to live in. If your landlord is worried that you are not “professional enough” to keep from damaging the walls, you could ask if they or their maintenance person(s) could come install the wall anchor. I saw previously tension rod style braces which were sold as earthquake proofing/furniture stabilizers, cannot find them again now but the concept was similar to what is on this page https://www.

My advice — if you’re hanging something really expensive or invaluable, use a nail or double up on Command strips. Even if you follow the instructions, with this type of product, there’s still a slight chance of the strips losing their stickiness.Considering that each pair of medium strips holds up to 3 pounds, I was thinking sticking one strip on the top of the frame. Although these steps are quick and easy, you need to have the right number of strips, make sure you place them on the frame correctly, peel off the cover, press firmly, etc.
