I recently painted my hallway and couldn't wait to hang a collection of framed photos on the walls. I purchased several packs of the command strips and got busy. Even though I was only using 4x6, 5x7, and 8x10 frames, I opted to use the large size for all of them since the frames were silver. I used one strip for the 4x6 and 1 or 2 for the 5x7 (depending on the weight) and 2 for the 8x10. Based on the directions and weight suggestions, this should've been plenty. Within one hour, 3 pictures fell. I'm out $ for the command strips, my frames are scratched and dented, and I have a few nicks in my hardwood floors!
My grandchildren made handprint artwork on canvas frames for me. I was not able to frame them because of the design and wires on the back didn't work. The hanging strips worked perfectly! The pictures are hanging in an area that gets a lot of traffic, they lay flat, are secure and everyone is happy!
Bought these to hang pictures in my apartment because I can't use nails but now I have several broken frames. Followed the directions exactly, even used extra strips to ensure the pictures would stay even though they were way below the supposed weight limit but everything came crashing down within 24 hours and some even took chunks of paint with them.
