Picture rail hooks are used on picture rail moulding to hang art without making nail or screw holes in your wall.
The zinc plated silver finish on the picture rail hook gives it a modern or urban feel. The silver color also matches many wires that are used to suspend the art from the picture rail moulding. The silver picture rail hooks look excellent with black and white photography.
Picture rail molding was popular in older homes and many times the molding has been painted several times. We have tested these picture moulding hooks on a variety of mouldings covered in paint and also on newer mouldings with no paint to make sure they work. The picture hook profile fits the majority of mouldings and can be slightly adjusted against the wood to fit. The rail hooks are strong and do not bend easily by hand, but you can adjust or bend them on the molding.
When hanging small art or pictures, you can use one picture rail hook. If your artwork is larger in size or heavier, we suggest using two hooks on the moulding and running your wire or cord from each hook to your artwork. Hanging art from a picture rail with picture hooks makes an interesting and creative art display while saving your wall from nail holes.
