What Are Sawtooth Hangers?
Sawtooth hangers are small, zigzag-shaped metal brackets that attach to the back of picture frames. Their unique design allows them to grip nails or screws easily, making them perfect for lightweight picture frames. These hangers are a popular choice for clean, minimalist wall arrangements, whether you’re redecorating a home or setting up a professional office space
Step-By-Step Guide to Using Sawtooth Hangers
1. Choose Your Frame and Locate Placement
Selecting the right frame is key to making your artwork stand out. For high-quality options, explore our custom picture frame collection. Before attaching the hanger, decide where you want the frame to hang and ensure your chosen frame complements the space.
2. Attach the Sawtooth Hanger
Flip your frame over and identify the center of its top edge. Using a screwdriver, carefully attach the sawtooth hanger, ensuring it is perfectly centered for balance. Proper attachment is crucial to securely hang picture frames and prevent them from tilting on the wall.
3. Prepare Your Wall
Mark the spot on the wall where you’ll hang the frame. Use a level to ensure accurate alignment. For best results, hammer a nail or screw into the marked point, providing a sturdy base for the hanger. Proper wall preparation is essential for hanging lightweight frames with sawtooth hangers.
4. Hang Your Frame
Gently slide the sawtooth hanger over the nail or screw on the wall. Adjust the frame for perfect alignment. If you’re outfitting a commercial space, consider pairing this technique with our premium frames for commercial use to elevate the environment.
