Specifications: Brass-Plated Picture Hooks

Our brass-plated picture hooks can be used on drywall or wood walls, but are particularly useful if you have real plaster walls. The special tempered steel needlepoint nails provided with each hook will penetrate older plaster walls with less danger of cracking the plaster.

The two heavier brass-plated hook sizes (HWR-2332-75 and HWR-2332-50) have multiple nails per hook which provide additional holding power. Nails are the same for all hook sizes: 1" long tempered steel with a brass capped head.

The brass finish and elegant design of these hooks makes them a better choice than our more utilitarian-looking Nickel-Plated Hooks for certain decorative applications where the hook will be visible after hanging. Also, the nails used with brass-plated picture hooks are thinner (smaller diameter) than nickel-plated picture hook nails, so nail holes made in the wall will be smaller.

For hanging smaller or lighter pictures, please also consider our one-piece metal Push-Pin Hooks that push easily into drywall without loose nails or hammering.

For hanging very heavy pictures that will require an extra heavy-duty hook, visit this page for more information.

Brass-plated picture hooks are classified according to the maximum picture weight they will support under ideal test conditions.

Select a brass-plated hook size that has a picture weight rating 3-4 times the actual weight of the picture you are hanging.

When in doubt, use a heavier hook and/or hang the picture on two hooks.

Brass-plated hooks can be quickly removed from drywall or plaster walls and reused if not damaged. The brass capped needlepoint nails leave behind only a trace of a hole when they are removed. See the instructions directly below for the correct way to remove brass-plated hooks from a wall.

When hanging framed pictures on brass-plated hooks, using two hooks for each picture, spaced an appropriate distance apart on the wall, is a very good practice. Two hooks will keep a framed picture straighter on the wall over time and will also supply additional security by distributing the weight of the picture on two hanging points instead of just one.

If you are using two hooks to hang a picture, space them apart on the wall at a distance roughly equal to one-third the width of the frame.

Do not attempt to use brass-plated hooks on concrete, brick, stone, cinderblock or similar walls. The brass-plated hook nails will not penetrate these materials and you run the risk of injuring yourself. Instead, use one of our Hardwall Hooks.

  

Instructions: Brass-Plated Picture Hooks

  1. When hammering brass-plated hook nails into the wall, the raised nail guide socket(s) on the front face of the hook will guide the nails into the wall at the proper 45° angle,
  2. Do not over-hammer the nails--just tap them in gently until the back of the hook is flush with the wall. Nail heads can be damaged by hammering that is too strenuous.
  3. Consider using two hooks, spaced apart appropriately, for all your hook & wire hung picture frames. Your pictures will stay straighter, longer, and they will be more secure over time.
  4. Always apply picture load gradually on brass-plated picture hooks to insure proper hold.
  5. With wired picture frames where you are "working blind," always check behind the hung picture to make sure that the picture wire is actually caught on the hook portion of the hook and has not gotten snagged on the top edge of the hook by mistake.
  6. To remove brass-plated hooks, pull the nail(s) directly back at a 45° angle with a slight twisting motion, using fingers or pliers. Prying hooks away from the wall with a screwdriver, etc. will often damage the wall surface.
  7. As long as a removed brass-plated hook or nail has not been bent or deformed, it can be reused.
