Picture Fittings

The small fittings on the back of a picture frame are what make a reliable, level hang possible - and getting them right is the difference between artwork that stays level and artwork that tilts and shifts. At the DIY Hardware Store, our picture fittings range covers the D-rings, sawtooth hangers, triangle hangers, screw rings, and heavy-duty wall hooks used to prepare picture backs and hang artwork securely.

Sawtooth hangers are the simplest fitting - a serrated steel strip nailed or screwed to the top centre of the frame back, which hangs directly on a single screw or hook in the wall. They suit lighter pictures and prints where precise levelling is less critical. D-ring plates are screwed to both sides of the frame back at the same height, with picture hanging wire or cord strung between them - allowing the picture to be levelled precisely by moving it along the wire. Triangle hangers combine a wall fixing and frame fixing in a single unit for very lightweight frames.

Heavy-duty wall hooks with hardened steel pins penetrate plaster and lath at the optimum angle for maximum load capacity without the need for a wall plug. Available at the DIY Hardware Store in the sizes and load ratings for everything from small prints to large canvases.
