When it comes to hanging heavy duty items like picture frames, wall art, mirrors, clocks, signs, dry erase boards, and more, you need something that can hold strong and securely. While Command™ Large Picture Hanging Strips are a popular choice for many, there are alternatives that offer even stronger adhesive and holding power.
One option to consider is using heavy duty adhesive hooks. These hooks are designed to hold a significant amount of weight and are often used for hanging larger items. They typically come with strong adhesive backing that can be easily applied to the wall and provide a secure hold. I have personally used heavy duty adhesive hooks to hang a large mirror in my living room and have been impressed with their strength and durability.
Another alternative to Command Strips is using wall anchors and screws. This method requires drilling holes into the wall, but it provides a strong and reliable hold for heavier items. Wall anchors are inserted into the drilled holes and provide additional support for the screws. This method is commonly used for hanging shelves, large mirrors, and other heavy items. I have used wall anchors and screws to hang a floating shelf in my kitchen and have been pleased with the stability it provides.
Additionally, there are specialized hanging systems available that are designed specifically for heavy items. These systems often involve using brackets or hooks that are securely mounted to the wall and can support significant weight. Some systems even have adjustable features that allow for easy leveling and adjustment of the hung item. While these systems may require more installation effort, they offer superior strength and stability. I have seen these systems used in art galleries and museums to hang large and heavy pieces of artwork.
While Command™ Large Picture Hanging Strips are a popular choice for hanging items, there are alternatives that offer even stronger adhesive and holding power. Heavy duty adhesive hooks, wall anchors and screws, and specialized hanging systems are all effective options to consider when you need to hang heavy items securely.
