Question 1

Is this designed to be nailed into drywall or does it have to go into studs?

Accepted Answer

Hi there,

Thank you for your inquiry. These are meant to go into drywall or wood. Nailing them into wall studs using anchors and screws is only optional, should you wish to add strength to the installation. We hope this is helpful!

If you have any more product-related queries or concerns for us, feel free to send them our way. We'd love to be of help.

Sincerely,
Picture Hang Solutions

Question 2

Need instructions about installation

Accepted Answer

Adjustable J Hook Instructions

1. Make sure appropriate picture hangers are installed on the 
back of the frame, aligned vertically. Any of our D-Ring Hangers 
or Strap Hangers will work well for this.
2. Make sure that the hangers are positioned on the frame an 
equal distance down from the frame's top edge and also far 
enough down to allow the frame to hide the J-Hooks when the 
picture is hung on the wall.
3. Measure the distance between the center lines of the two 
hangers on the frame and transfer this measurement to the 
wall, making sure that your two marks are reasonably level to 
each other and spaced apart from the same distance as the distance between the hangers on the frame.
4. Use a small hammer and the four J-Hook nails provided to attach the JHooks to the wall at your wall marks and hang the frame on the hooks.
5. You can fine-adjust the frame to level without taking the frame off the 
wall by turning the head of a J-Hook connecting bolt with a Phillips screwdriver inserted through the opening on the top side of the hook.
6. For larger adjustments, remove the frame from the wall and move the hex 
nut on either J-Hook connecting bolt up or down as required.

Optional Instructions using J-Hook and Screws with Anchors (not included)

1. Follow Steps #1-3 above.
2. Drill or punch two 3/16" diameter holes in the wall on your marks. These 
holes indicate the position of the screw hole in the J-Hook upper sections.
3. Install the anchors (not included) by gently hammering them into the 
holes made in the wall. Anchor tops should be just flush with the wall surface.
4. Using the desired length screws (not provided), attach the J-Hooks into 
the anchors in the wall. When secure, you can hammer in the two J-Hook 
nails on each hook for added holding power.
5. Hang the frame on the J-Hooks. Adjust as per Steps #5 & 6 above.

Question 3

Can I use drywall anchors instead of the nails that are provided?

Accepted Answer

Hi,

Thank you for your inquiry, unfortunately the design of these hooks are for nails. The nails are to be hammered in diagonally per the design of this hook. A screw would not fit in the holes.

We hope this is of help to you. If you have other questions and concerns, please feel free to contact us. We are happy to assist.
