How to Hang a Picture Using Drywall Anchors

So, in this segment this is Dominic the guy with expertvillage.com and in this segment I’m actually going to install a picture and here’s the back of the picture of course. You have your measure from the point of the string here because this is actually what will be holding up so it’s about 4 inches basically from the top of the frame. I know that I want my picture to be well I would like the frame to be may be about 6 inches from the ceiling here and I know that the string is about 4 inches down, so I know that my bracket my anchor has to be about 10 inches there. So this is pretty much where my picture is going to be, so just the common way, the picture weighs about 15 lbs. so I’m going to use a 30 lb. anchor in here. I was going to use a 50 lb. one but I didn’t realize that was a lot heavier. So here we’re just going to push this into the wall just like I did on the shelf brackets, self screwing, screws itself in, snug fit, put my screw in there, leave about half an inch before it goes in all the way. Take my movie picture actually it’s my gangster… I’m a gangster movie buff and I hang my string on the screw and kind of put it up there and we go… it’s leveled that’s it. So those wall anchors and screw anchors work just as well for shelves. They also work to make sure that your picture stay up and they don’t fall out. That’s it guys that’s it… I mean this is pretty good and it’s very simple. I know it looks hard when you see it but hopefully I made it seem simple enough for you. If I can do it you can do it and that’s me and I’m Dominic on expertvillage.com. Take care and have a great day.
