Expert tip for small frames; use spacers or a utility hook to prevent the frame from tilting or shifting to one side:
STAS spacers (per 4)Ideal for hanging your frames at perfect distance from the wall. Adhesive, easy to apply to the back of your list. Made of soft material, preventing from damage to your wall. | |
STAS utility hookThe STAS utility hook is a wide hook that fans out its point of grip over 0.66 inches. That’s why it’s an ideal hook to prevent tilting or shifting of objects. It works perfectly in combination with our quilt hangers, and also with sawtooth hangers or horizontal slots at the back of objects. For loads up to 9 lbs (4 kg) when used in combination with perlon (monofilament) cord. |
