I have a newly framed large print that I want to hang on my wall. It weighs about 10 lbs. How can I hang it on the wall without fear of it falling down ?
Thanks !!!

fantastic product: OOK picture hangers. nails are specially treated to slide into either sheetrock or concrete walls, and hangers are super secure. i've used them in both of my last two houses (one with sheetrock walls, the other with plaster over cinderblock), and have successfully and safely hung even huge mirrors that took 2 people to lift.
home depot carries these things.

Go to Home Depot, the fastener aisle, look for zip its, they are over sized screws with a hole in the middle for another screw to go into, which expands the first screw into the drywall, some people call them drywall anchors. Buy the ones made of zinc, not the plastic ones, they are rated by how many pounds that they will hold. This works very well if you cannot find a stud where you are trying to hang the picture.
