How to hang a picture frame without damaging walls?

How to a hang a picture without nails or screws

You can create beautiful walls by hanging small picture frames of sizes 4′ X 6′ or 5′ X 7′. Pictures create memories of good times. Such memories bring positive energy to your home. These picture frames are easily available in many stores near you. You can also order these online over amazon.ae or noon.com, etc. Such frames are typically designed to be kept on the table and have table stands attached behind them. Therefore, to hang a picture frame, first remove the stands by swiftly pulling these from the picture frames. You can print the photographs of your choice and insert them in the frames. Now your frames are ready to be hung on the wall.

Steps to hang a picture frame on the wall:

STEP 1 : Decide where to place your Picture Frame?

  1. Select a few options on the wall where the picture frame can be fixed
  2. Hold the picture frame against the wall. It is worth spending some time on this. You should consider the placement of furnishings in the room, lighting, color match, and visibility from different parts of the room.
  3. If you have a friend or a family member around, ask them to watch it from a distance while you hold the picture. They can guide you about the symmetry of the picture against the structure of the wall and placement of other objects such as pictures, shelves, curtains, etc.
  4. Hold the picture against the wall in the desired place and make small marks with a pencil in the middle of the top and the left edge of the picture. Then go back and visualize the picture there to estimate the symmetry against the wall and other objects.
  5. You can erase the pencil marks after you hang your picture frame on the wall.

STEP 2 : Mark places where you will install the steel tapes

  1. Use a pencil to mark places for steel tape on the Picture Frame
    1. Using a measuring tape, find the center of the Picture.

Removing the Picture Frame

The picture frame is held against the wall using a strong magnetic force and a very strong VHB adhesive. To remove the picture frame, slide it down, up, or on either of the two sides. Remember not to pull the frame or else it may damage either the surface of the wall or that of the picture frame.

After you remove your product, you can use NED Magnet with another product in the same place. You can also attach the NED Magnet to the product and hang it on another wall that has Alpha Steel Tape.

Caution

Please install Steel tapes only on the flat and hard surfaces on the product and the wall. If there are any pins, paper or existing screws on the product, please remove them before installing the steel tapes. Also, please do not install the steel tapes on surfaces with holes. The steel tape needs a strong surface to bond with.
