D-Ring Hangers

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.
