Super Steel Hangers

Super Steel Hangers

Definition

Super Steel Hangers are a type of picture frame hanging hardware designed for added strength and stability. These hangers consist of bar-shaped metal brackets with two screw holes each, which are installed on both sides of the back of a frame. Picture frame wire is then tied between the two hangers, allowing the frame to hang securely while distributing weight more evenly than smaller hangers.

Features

• Two-hole design: Provides a more secure attachment compared to single-hole hangers.
• Durability: Constructed from strong steel, making them suitable for medium to heavy frames.
• Ease of use: Wire can be tied quickly and adjusted if needed.
• Weight distribution: Helps prevent strain on a single point of the frame, reducing the chance of damage.

Applications

• Commonly used on wood frames of medium to large size.
• Ideal for framed art, photographs, mirrors, and heavy decorative objects.
• Often chosen when extra stability is required compared to smaller D-Ring Hangers or One-Hole Strap Hangers.

Installation Tips

• Place both hangers at the same height on each side of the frame for proper balance.
• Use screws appropriate for the frame's material (e.g., hardwood vs. softwood).
• Tie picture wire securely with several twists, leaving a slight slack for easy hanging.
