Our brass plated steel picture hooks are rated according to the number of pounds they will support. These ratings are theoretical as conditions can vary considerably. We suggest using a picture hook rated 3 to 4 times the weight of the picture you will be hanging.
It is good general practice to use two hooks for each picture, spaced an appropriate distance apart on the wall. Two hooks will decrease the likelihood that your picture will move over time and add considerable piece of mind and security by distributing the weight of the picture frame on two hanging points instead of one.
