Picture rail hooks or molding hooks are used on picture rail moulding which is mounted on the wall. Hanging art or picture frames from a picture rail allows you to display your art without making screw or nail holes in the wall.
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 narrow rail hooks are very strong and do not bend by hand.
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. Using wire, chain or cord to suspend your art from the hook provides endless ways to create your own art gallery and easily rearrange your art as often as you like.
