Frame Hanger

How to install the Frame Hanger (placement matters)

• Fit two frame hangers, one on each side of the artwork.
• Place them as high as possible, near the top edge of the frame.
• Screw or glue into place (depending on the frame and what’s appropriate).

Why high placement helps: the higher the hanging point, the less leverage the top of the frame has to tilt forward.

How height adjustment works (same logic as Micro Grip)

These self-locking hangers grip in the downward direction. That means:

• To move up: slide up freely (pull down on the hanging wire while pushing the hanger/frame up).
• To move down: pinch the top plunger/nipple to release the grip, slide down, then release to lock again.

Why lighter art tilts more (friendly physics, not exam physics)

Forward tilt is basically a tiny tug-of-war between gravity and the backward pull from your hanging wires.

Picture this in words:

• The wire comes down from the rail and pulls the top of the frame up and slightly back toward the wall.
• A heavy artwork creates higher wire tension, which increases that backward pull, so it tends to sit flatter.
• A light artwork has lower wire tension, so that backward pull is weaker, and the frame tilts forward more.

Three simple fixes that work together

• Screw the Frame Hangers high (reduces the leverage that causes tilt).
• Use Tilt Reducers
• If needed, add frame spacers (at bottom on the back of the frame/canvas) to stop the tilt forward effect and protect the wall.

Public spaces and anti-theft setups

If you need the hanging wire to be much harder to remove (schools, galleries, lobbies, anywhere people get grabby), pair the Frame Hanger with a 2 mm Solid Slider stainless steel wire. Solid Slider wires slide into the rail but are not removed easily, which makes quick theft a lot less “quick.”
