Nail-less hangers Any hanger or hook that does not require a nail to affix it to the frame or wall.
(1) sawtooth hangers generally have a pointed tip on each end that can be pressed or hammered into the top back of the frame. A nail or other hook is required to hang it on the wall, however.
(2) Adhesive hangers are popular today, and are comprised of a flat, double-sided adhesive that affixes the hanger to the wall. When the hanger needs to be removed, a tab attached to the adhesive is pulled, and the entire piece comes off without ruining the wall.
(3) A hanger with sharp teeth that can be pressed or hammered into the wall. The face is then flush with the wall, providing a jutting hook on which to hang the artwork. |
