Quick Order Forms for Security Picture Hangers
For commercial, institutional or public spaces we offer three different security hardware systems for locking framed pictures to the wall. All three systems will deter unauthorized individuals from lifting a framed picture off its hanging support. With all three systems, removal of a picture from the wall requires turning concealed T-Head Screws hidden behind the frame. Please keep in mind that any security hanging system can be defeated by someone with enough opportunity and determination to do so. Casual theft and tampering, however, will be effectively eliminated. • Hook-Ups Hangers are the easiest to install, especially for the novice, since they allow for more adjustment after the wall holes have been drilled. This system creates two locking points at the top rail of the frame only. • Lock-In Hangers place either one or two additional locking points at the bottom rail of the frame. This system requires more precision during the installation process since only limited adjustment is possible after the wall holes have been drilled. • Frame-Lock Hangers use a long metal bracket at the top rail of the frame instead of two separate smaller hangers. This feature adds strength and stability to the security installation and also speeds up the hanging process. All three types perform equally well when properly installed. The Hook-Ups and Frame-Lock Systems are newer designs. Lock-In System hardware has been in use for many years. All require fairly large (1/4" to 5/16" diameter) holes to be drilled into walls. Security hardware can be installed on just about any type of wood frame, with the exception of very narrow (less than 5/8" wide) frames. It can also be used on most metal frames made during the last twenty-five years. Installing security hangers takes more patience than skill and can be mastered by just about anyone. A basic instruction sheet is included with orders for each type. Or refer to our step-by-step installation instructions at the bottom of the ordering page for each type:
Drywall (sheetrock) walls are ideal for security picture hanger installations. Hard or solid wall surfaces will require a bit more time and care. It takes about fifteen minutes to security-install a framed picture. Except for the recommended Security Wrench, no special or unusual tools are required. In addition to theft-prevention, security picture hangers provide the benefit of keeping framed pictures hanging permanently straight and level on the wall. This is a particularly valuable feature in situations where vibration (heavy foot traffic, machinery, earthquakes) is an issue.
