Materials Needed

• SHAW X NO.5 Stainless Steel Picture Wire
• Picture hooks or eye screws
• Wire cutters
• Measuring tape

• Level (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Determine the Wire Length

1. Measure the width of the frame you wish to hang.
2. Add an additional 10-15 cm (4-6 inches) to allow for twisting and securing the wire.
3. Cut the wire to the determined length using wire cutters.

Step 2: Attach the Wire to the Frame

1. Install picture hooks or eye screws on the back of the frame. Position them about one-third of the way down from the top.
2. Insert one end of the wire through the eye of one hook or screw.
3. Twist the wire securely around itself several times to ensure it is tight.

Step 3: Secure the Other End

1. Stretch the wire across the back of the frame, pulling it taut.
2. Thread the other end of the wire through the opposite hook or screw.
3. Twist the wire around itself securely, similar to the first side.

Step 4: Prepare for Hanging

1. Find the desired location on the wall to hang your picture.
2. Use a pencil to mark the spot where the hook will be placed.
3. Install the appropriate wall hook or nail at the marked spot.
4. Use a level to ensure the mark is straight if necessary.

Step 5: Hang the Picture

1. Carefully hang the picture frame on the wall hook, using the wire.
2. Adjust the frame as needed to ensure it is level.

Additional Tips

• Ensure that the total weight of the picture does not exceed 19.5 kg (43 lbs), as this is the maximum capacity of the wire.
• Regularly check the wire’s condition to ensure it remains secure over time.
