sick of touch-ups

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] we recently bought a new house and didn't want any holes in the new walls so I bought all command products based on reviews, price, and all around good things I've heard and decided to give them a try.... I bought these strips,and hooks and can honestly say 85% of them did not work for me.. I would even use over the amt of strips just to be sure and still had things fall.. I have ended up re-touching all walls from an incident resulting in this product failure.. The poster strips worked like a charm, but the adhesive for the clear hooks were not very sticky at all.. The velcro picture strips teeth are not the problem, it is the actual backing adhesive. I made sure to follow all hanging times and directions upon installing them. I have been very displeased with the product and most definately have purchased my last command products.

Command picture hanging strips

I have used the small and medium command picture hanging strips. I had tried all kinds of stuff but the pictures kept falling off the wall. I was hanging collages and they were oak frames which made them very heavy. I picked up some Command picture hanging strips (medium and small) and couldn't believe it-the pictures quit falling off the wall. I like that you can buy them almost any where. I will never use anything else. It is so nice that I don't have to put nails in the walls anymore. The Command strips come right off, and there is no damage to your walls. Thanks Command Strips! Sincerely a very satisfied customer. Rolene

Thank you taking the time to rate our product. We apologize that the product did not work for you. It must have been frustrating to think that you would be able to hang something up "damage free" and this happens. We do have some questions about which product you used and where it was used as we would not expect our product to fail in this way. Please look for a direct email from us with some contact information. We do want to assist you further with this issue and we look forward to hearing from you!!

Disco Demolition Photo Exhibit

Hi Folks,
Last year was the 30th anniversary of Disco Demolition at Comiskey Park in Chicago. I had an exhibit of my photos taken on July 12, 1979 at The Music Garage in Chicago. This event was documented by television and the internet. The photos were hung with the 3M Command Strips because the gallery did not want holes in their walls. The Command Strips stayed up for 3 months without losing their grip of the 10-30x40 boards. The show was a huge hit and see by many Chicagoans. Thank you for making the exhibit possible and making me look like a champ.

Don't trust them!

I have an antique business and thought these were the answer to hanging frequently changed displays of wall art on 100 year old plaster walls into which nails cannot be driven. Not so. Several times I have come into the shop and found the framed art on the floor and the Command Strips partially pulled away from the walls.

I Hun a 3lb picture and frame with 5lb capacity hooks. needless to say but I have a a spot on my wall with the paint torn off and shattered glass and a broken frame from the picture I tried to hang using "Damage-Free Hanging Hooks". And yes, I followed the instructions to a "T" but now have more damage then if I had out some nails in the wall.

Thank you for your review of our Large Picture Hanging Strips. We recommend using the Command™ Picture and Frame Hanging products for your purposes. Our general purpose hooks will hold the picture frame too far out from the wall, which may cause failure, and in some cases, pull the paint off of the wall’s surface. We noticed that you commented on using the 5 lb capacity hook; however the review is for our Command™ Large Picture Hanging Strips. We have sent you an email to discuss more about your experience so that we can provide a resolution for you. Thanks!

WE used these strips to have large pics and frames etc in our daughter's college dorm room. Made life so much easier and a piece of cake to take down. They're just quite pricey!

I recently purchased this product to hang a spice rack on the inside of my kitchen cabinet. They have been holding fast with 20 glass spice jars and the spice holder! Now my spices are accessible and I have no damage to the inside of my cabinets due to screws! Excellent!
