Security Hardware Kit

When displaying framed art in places where it could easily be pulled or knocked off of the wall, like a playroom, high-traffic area or when hanging pictures above a couch or bed, it’s a good idea to attach it with a security hanger. This security hardware kit includes the frame brackets, wall brackets, screws, wall anchors and wrench to help you securely hang your picture frames.

For the installation, you’ll need a drill, a measuring tape, a level, and pliers.

On the frame’s reverse side, place two metal plates at the sides of the top bar, measuring one-and-a-half inches from the edge of the frame to the center of each plate. Attach them with screws. Next, attach a third metal plate to the center of the bottom bar.

Mount the two brackets onto the wall, with the distance between the centers matching the distance between the centers of the two metal plates. Use your level to check the alignment. Then hook the plates onto the brackets.

Gently pressing the bottom edge of your frame against the wall should create a slight impression. Screw your T-screw directly into the middle. Once it’s parallel to the slot in which it will sit, rotate it from horizontal to vertical so it slips into place. Use your wrench behind the frame to turn the T-screw for secure attachment.
