D-Ring Hangers
Definition
D-Ring Hangers are one-hole strap hanger systems that attach to both sides of a picture frame, allowing picture frame wire to be tied across the back for hanging. They provide a secure and adjustable solution for mounting framed artwork.
Uses and Applications
- Supporting framed artwork on walls using hanging wire.
- Suitable for small to medium-sized frames, as well as conservation framing.
- Provides adjustability for balancing the frame during hanging.
- Common in residential, gallery, and exhibition installations.
Installation Tips
- Attach D-Ring Hangers at equal heights on opposite sides of the frame for even weight distribution.
- Use screws compatible with the frame material to avoid splitting.
- Thread the hanging wire securely through both D-Rings, leaving slight slack for leveling.
- Check the wire and hardware weight rating to ensure safety and stability.
