Wood Hanging Kit

Definition

A Wood Hanging Kit is a complete set of hardware designed for safely and securely hanging wooden picture frames on walls. Kits typically include strap hangers, screws, rubber bumpers, and picture frame wire, allowing for adjustable and stable mounting.

Key Components

• Strap Hangers - Metal brackets attached to the frame for wire support.
• Screws - Used to secure the strap hangers to the back of the frame.
• Rubber Bumpers - Applied to the bottom corners to prevent wall scuffing and help level the frame.
• Picture Wire - Braided wire that spans across the back of the frame to hang on wall hooks or nails.

Common Uses

• Hanging medium to large wooden frames on walls.
• Ensuring level alignment for artwork and photographs.
• Providing a secure and adjustable method for display in homes, galleries, or offices.

Best Practices

• Use wall anchors if hanging heavy frames on drywall.
• Measure and level the frame before securing it to the wall.
• Ensure that all components of the kit are compatible with the frame's size and weight.
