Specifications:
Keyhole
Hangers
|
We offer two types
of keyhole hangers: standard and heavy-duty. Both function
on the same design principle. First, two screws are anchored
into the wall with about 1/8" of the screws left protruding.
Next, two steel plates with keyhole-shaped holes are
attached to the back side of the object to be hung near the
top edge. Finally the object is hung on the screws in the
wall by letting the protruding heads pass through the wider
lower section of the keyhole plates and then catching them
on the narrower upper section of the plates as the object
being hung is lowered down on the screws.
Keyhole hangers
allow items to be hung flush or very close to flush to the
wall. If you take the time to make recessed cutouts for the
keyhole plates on the back side of whatever you are hanging,
the item will appear to "float" on the wall with no visible
support.
Cabinets, shelving,
wood plaques and signs are frequently hung with keyhole-type
hangers.

The primary
difference between the two types of keyhole hangers we offer
is the thickness of the hanger plate itself. The Heavy-Duty
Keyhole Hanger plate is four times as thick as the Standard
Keyhole Hanger plate (.08" vs. .02" thickness), which allows
Heavy-Duty Keyhole Hangers to support more
weight.
Heavier
Wall Anchors Available
For heavier items
hung on drywall with Heavy-Duty Keyhole Hangers, we
recommend replacing the plastic wall anchors and screws that
come with the HWR-161 set with stronger anchors. Three
options available from us are (in order of
strength):
- HWR-155
- Heavier #8 plastic wall anchor and larger #8
screw.
- HWR-187-1
- Strong #6 metal screw-in wall anchor and #6
screw.
- HWR-186
- Very strong #8 metal screw-in wall anchor and #8
screw.
Call or email us if
you'd like a price quote for sets of HWR-161 packaged with
one of these three wall anchor options (minimum order
quantity 25 sets). Otherwise, order these items as an
addition to the HWR-161 sets you need.

Instructions:
Keyhole
Hangers
|
- Lay the object
to be hung face down on a blanket or soft
surface.
- Attach hanger
plates at the two top corners using the four 1/2" screws
provided. The narrow section of the plate keyhole cutout
goes towards the top. Make sure that the two hanger
plates are level (equidistant from the top edge of
whatever you are hanging).
- Keyhole Hangers
can be recessed (with a router or by hand using a chisel)
to create more strength and produce a completely flush
fit against the wall.
- Heavy-Duty
Hangers Only: Before attaching, place the washers
provided underneath the keyhole plates to raise the
plates up slightly and make the installation easier. For
an extra tight fit, do not use washers.
- Standard
Hangers Only: After attaching, bend the keyhole end
of the plates out slightly to facilitate
hanging.
- Measure the
distance between the centerlines of the two attached
hangers.
- Transfer this
measurement to the wall and drill or punch two 3/16"
diameter holes for the plastic anchors. Make sure that
these two holes are as level as possible on the
wall.
- Insert the
plastic anchors provided into the holes in the wall by
tapping them in lightly with a hammer until
flush.
- Screw the two 1"
screws into the wall anchors, leaving about 1/8"
protruding outward from the wall surface.
- Hang the object
on the wall by aligning it so that the protruding screw
heads in the wall enter the wider bottom sections of the
keyhole plate openings simultaneously, then lower the
object carefully until the screw heads are caught behind
the narrower upper sections of the keyhole plate
openings.
