Picture wire hanging system

It’s the nightmare of anyone who’s ever hung a picture or a piece of art.

You carefully measure and then confidently pound a nail into the wall—only to hit a water pipe or electrical wires lurking behind the wall.

Along with the damaged utility lines, additional damage can extend to the wall, floor, and furniture— especially if that utility is now leaking water or sewer pipe.

Even if you don’t hit anything behind the wall, repeated efforts to hang an item straight or to hang different items over time can put lots of holes in the wall.

A common solution is a picture wire hanging system. It harkens to the way people hung pictures and artwork decades ago. The same advantages that they found in these systems still hold true today.

Picture wire hanging systems are what their name implies: Systems that hang items from wires suspended from the top of the wall or the ceiling.

They allow users to install the suspending device once and then never have to attach anything again. The device supports static or movable wires that attach to the backs of pictures or art, allowing them to hang flat on the wall without doing any damage.

Picture wire hanging systems can look unique and even fancy, upgrading the appearance of a room.

But perhaps most satisfying, they get the job done without creating unintended work—repairs, in this case.
