Earthquake Hangers 30 lb - 15 Pack - Tremor Hooks - Locking Picture Hanging Hooks - Earthquake Picture Hangers

Tremor picture hangers have a raised nail collar to guide the nails into the wall at the proper 45 degree angle. The sharp steel nails will penetrate plaster or drywall with a very small hole to minimize damage. The professional tremor hooks are used by galleries and museums in earthquake areas to prevent the art from falling off of the wall.

When hanging your art,use your finger to guide the wire to slide or snap under the hook's spring. Apply picture load gradually to insure proper hold. After hanging a wired piece of art, peek behind it to make sure the wire is inside the spring clip. The spring clip on the front of the hook can also turn and be rotated away from the hook to hang or remove the wire.

These strong and sturdy hooks and nails are reusable if they have not been damaged during installation or removal. Using gentle tapping when installing and proper nail removal will allow for multiple uses of the professional brass plated tremor hooks. To remove tremor hooks use fingers or pliers to pull the nail out at a 45 degree angle with a slight twisting motion. Prying a hook away from the wall with a tool will usually damage the wall surface and possibly the hook or nail.
