About the product Two-hole D-ring hangers are wide picture hangers designed for heavy-duty applications. These steel hangers with nickel plating are D-shaped rings held by a doubled-over heavy steel strap, making them versatile and stronger than others in the category. For wood frames Measures 2 3/16" long and 15/16" wide, strap measures 5/8" wide Holds medium to heavy weight art and decor up to 40 lbs Includes #6 x 1/2" screws Can be used directly as an art hanger or together with hanging wire Instructions With picture wire: Place the frame face down on a blanket or soft surface. On the frame’s side rails, measure between one-quarter and one-third of the way down from the top of the frame. Mark this distance equally on both side rails. If the frame width allows it, position the hangers in alignment with the angle the picture wire will take when the frame is hung and the wire is under tension. Pre-drill all screw holes to avoid splitting the wood of the frame. Take care not to drill through to the front of the frame. Install the 2-hole D-ring hanger on the frame using appropriate length screws. Note: Appropriate screw length will depend on the item you are hanging, such as thickness of a frame and weight of a picture. Attach picture wire to the hangers. (Note: Appropriate wire size will depend on the picture’s weight.) Leave enough slack in the picture wire so that when it is pulled taut from the back of the frame, the center point of the wire reaches about half the distance between the hanger and the top of the frame. Hang the picture on the wall. Without picture wire: Place the frame face down on a blanket or soft surface. Align hangers vertically at the top corners of the frame. Measure their positions at an equal distance down from the frame's top edge, far enough to allow the frame to hide the picture hooks when the picture is hung on the wall. Mark this distance on both corners. Pre-drill all screw holes to avoid splitting the wood of the frame. Take care not to drill through to the front of the frame. Install the 2-hole D-ring on the frame using appropriate length screws. Ensure that the picture hooks on which the picture will be mounted are perfectly level on the wall and spaced apart at the same distance as the distance between the hangers on the frame. Hang the picture on the wall by placing the rings of the hangers directly onto the picture hooks. Related Content Everything You Need To Know About D-rings and Strap Hangers
