how to hung a picture on a wall?

Question

I know this is a basic one, but so am I on this topic. Rather than asking someone to do it, I'd rather learn and do it myself (from now on). I am framing pictures I have taken during the years and 4 (framed) posters, approx. 120cm x 75cm. Cheers!

Answer 1

Let me tell you the easiest way I know (it took 60 years to find this product). Go to this website http://www.asseenontvguys.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=186&gclid=CKSR7Y75xY8CFR-YWAodgk5TYA and order the Hercules Hooks.
You can install them with no tools, and they will hold up to 150 lbs, You also get a laser level with your order so you can hang the picture straight. Sure does simplify things.

Answer 2

First, put a rope around its neck and hang until dead. That's how you have a picture hung.

To hang a picture, it depends upon what you're attaching it to. In years past, you'll see old photographs with silk or I assume silk ropes reaching to the top of the wall so as to not crack the plaster.

If it's a wooden wall, find the stud behind the place you want to hang the picture. You can do this with a hammer and lightly tap on it. The sound will change. Nail that and it won't come out.

Dry board and no stud, get an anchor. They're cheap. You may have to drill a hole, take a hammer to put in the plastic sleeve and then a screw goes over that, expanding the spacer and holding it to the wall.

The best would be the most difficult to use, requiring you to drill a larger hole. This kind has a long screw on it with a wing like nut on a spring.

For that, I'd put a regular nut on the long screw about the place you want it to enter the wall, then a metal spacer and finally the wing nut on spring. Push it in, turn the large screw until the wing nut behind it pulls tight on the inside of the wall.

1. Take a pencil and tap along the wall until you hear a hard, hollow sound. You've hit a 2x4, the strongest lumber. Drive your object (nail, hook, tack) there. It will hold stronger and better.
2. Go and look at them (the posters and pictures). Do they look straight? If not, be sure to put them on the same area of wall so that you are still in your 2x4 area when straightening them. How do you know if they're straight without a ruler? Visually, most people can tell. Hang each at the same level OR if you want contrast variate them. Variation WILL require a ruler to make sure everything is straight. It depends on how much work you want to put into it.

Answer 4

You make a small mark on the wall with a pencil where you want the top of the picture to hang.
Then you hold up the picture and see where the second nail should be placed (this may take 2 people). You make a mark there. Hammer in two nails and hang. There you go!
