How to Hang a Picture

Video Transcript

My name is Amitavh Bhattacherji. I'm speaking on behalf of Expert Village and I represent my company Abstract Frames and Supplies Private Limited, Calcutta, India. So the hanging system has been fixed at a position which is 2/3 from the bottom of the frame and 1/3 from the top of the frame. Now this is a small hanging system because this is basically a small frame. For a larger frame for a larger canvas, for a heavier frame, we will use a bigger clamp and there are various forms of hanging clamps which are available and that basically depends on the weight of the frame. If we find that the frame is very large and it's very heavy we will use bigger metal ring so that it's from the safety point of view it does not break or fall out. There are also smaller frames which have a hanging system here. It's like a clip. It is slipped on so that if you want to change your picture tomorrow you can even hang your frame from here. So that hanging system is clipped to the back and it can slide off and again we put on thumb side so we can subsequently change your picture this way or this way or whichever way you please. But these are fixed hanging systems and these are usually fixed by the framer and it's not changeable. But some people would recommend you put this plus the hanging system so if they want it to hang straight to the wall, touching the wall, they will use this hanging system and if they wanted a little space, breathing space from the wall, they will use this system so there is one half centimeter gap between he frame and the wall. Thank you.
