Follow instructions carefully
I have a newly renovated apartment and hate the idea of hammering or drilling holes in my newly painted walls. I did hours upon hours of research and decided to use Command products to hang pictures and artwork. I bought the Command Sticky Nail Wire Back Hangers specifically for two medium sized frames (approx 18"x18"). I believe the max weight limit for each hanger is 8 lbs. My two frames were about 5 lbs each. Being totally scared to come home to find them on the floor with glass shards all over, I doubled up and used two hangers per frame. I found that you must follow the instructions very carefully or it won't hold. You must clean the wall surface with alcohol to remove any dirt and let dry which should be quick. Then adhere the hanger and press and hold for 30 secs. Then let it sit for a day BEFORE you hang your frame. I think this allows the adhesive to bond with the wall surface for a tighter grip. Before I hung my frames, I also tugged down on them with a bit of force to test if they would come off. I've had my frames hanging for about a year now and they seem to be ok.
