How to hang a deep poster frame with a sawtooth hanger?

KB_KB

I'm trying to hang this poster/picture frame that's quite deep, I've installed this Everhang picture hook today, but the hook doesn't come out far enough due to the depth of the frame to catch the hanger. (Frame is hitting the wall before the hook reaches the mount).

Everhang 8kg Brass Plated Picture Hanging Angle Drive Hook - 4 Pack - Bunnings Australia

Looking for a suggestion on a product that will work sufficiently, I'm in a rental so don't want a product that will leave a massive hole - something comparable to the product I've installed today.

Maybe something with a longer hook or similar?

Thanks in advance!

Hello @KB_KB

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about hanging your poster.

There are a few ways to hang a deep frame poster frame. My first suggestion is to use https://www.bunnings.com.au/everhang-3-6m-15kg-load-braided-picture-hanging-wire_p3930518 . The basic step will be to tie the wire to the saw tooth hook and create a loop and tie it back onto the same hook of the frame, this will extend the reach of the hook in order for it to hook onto the https://www.bunnings.com.au/everhang-8kg-brass-plated-picture-hanging-angle-drive-hook-4-pack_p3930113 . You may also use the https://www.bunnings.com.au/everhang-10m-5kg-braided-picture-hanging-wire_p3930514 or the https://www.bunnings.com.au/everhang-7-7m-copper-picture-hanging-hobby-wire_p3930102 . If the poster frame is not very heavy these wires will be able to hold onto the hook.

The second option is to use the large https://www.bunnings.com.au/everhang-30kg-brass-plated-heavy-duty-picture-hanging-angle-drive-4-pack_p0046417 . The hook itself will need to be bent slightly forward in order for the saw tooth hook of the frame to catch onto the wall hook. My best advice is to bring the picture frame with you to the store and test the large wall hook to make sure it suits your needs.

My last suggestion is to use https://www.bunnings.com.au/command-large-white-adhesive-picture-hanging-strips-4-pack_p3950291 all around the frame of the poster. This would be great way to hang the picture frame as it is totally adjustable, and it will be able to withstand nudging when accidentally touched.

I also suggest having a look at this guide - How to hang just about anything by @Adam_W.
