Command Narrow Picture Hanging Strips (17207) – 1 pack of 4 pairs package may vary

Product Information

Step 4: Remove the protective liners that are now facing away from the frame and position your frame where you want it on the wall.

However, if you follow the instructions—clean the wall first, use the appropriate number of strips, apply pressure before hanging—you significantly reduce the risk of pictures detaching from the wall. Not pressing firmly for at least 30 seconds when hanging. Putting pressure on the strips helps them adhere completely. Don’t skip this step. We hope you enjoyed reading our review and that now you can confidently hang pictures without using nails.

To remove the strips from the wall, slowly stretch the pull tab straight down about 12 inches. It will release from the wall. Do not pull the tab straight towards you; doing so could damage your wall. If you’re using four pairs, put two on the top of the side frames and two on the bottom of the side frames about 2/3rds of the way down. Don’t put the bottom strips all the way down on the bottom corners because doing so will make it very difficult to safely remove the picture from the wall when the time comes.

My advice — if you’re hanging something really expensive or invaluable, use a nail or double up on Command strips. Alternatives to Command Strips Maybe your landlord doesn’t want to forbid you to screw holes into the wall, but it just doesn’t work? So one idea would be to cast a weight out of screed, concrete or something similar and screw it to the bottom shelf from below.All said, especially if you have kids, I would highly recommend screwing in the IKEA wall anchor kits — from the BILLY bookcases to the wall with hardware suitable for your wall. Patch up the holes when you move. This period allows the adhesive to fully adhere to the wall before adding the weight and resistance of the frame.
