I am looking for a way to hang plaques and picture frames without nailing into my sheet rock and also dont want to use an adhesive that will ruin my paint.. I saw an infomercial one day awhile with something that would work but did not find it on asseenontv.com
If this is what you want,. you can probably buy them at hardware stores and places like Walmart. you can also google the product and see where you can buy it online. Good Luck!
We used something similar on our mantel to hang garland and it worked great. No paint came off and it was easy to remove. Just check the weight that the product can hold.
Most people think of wood moulding on a wall just below the ceiling as a decorative element, but they are intended to hang pictures from.
This websitehas many photos of how they work (as well as selling the hardware). Installing the picture rail doesn't eliminate holes, but it does contain them. And if you decide to change your wall decor, you don't need to patch or paint, you simply hang the new artwork from the same rail in the desired location.
Maybe those products that say they hold things can't guarantee user error therefore they go out of business after the first lawsuit is filed...I've hung alot of pictures. Sticky stuff gets less sticky with humidity, temperature change, age. Dusty walls can make the surface not sticky as well. If your valuable wallhanging falls on the floor don't blame the sticky-product people. Wood with a fastening device in it is what works unless you put something on an easel. Those crown molding/picturerails are good too except for the wires.
I would be very careful of using these products if the item is very large and heavy. Picture hangers (nail sets) come in different sizes and designed for different weights (i.e., 10lb, 20 lb, etc.).
I have several large pictures (framed in glass) and several antique/vintage mirrors (carved wood)--heavy and I always use the proper hanging devices. If something is really heavy sometimes I use two hangers (spaced 1'-2' apart) to distribute the weight evenly.
There won't be any marks on the wall except for the small hole of the nail, something easily patched if you move.
