Command Narrow Picture Hanging Strips, White, 4-Pairs, Holds up to 12 lbs.

Great holding power.

What can I say that hasn’t already been said about trans strips. These strips are able to hang a picture without damaging the wall at all by putting the strips on the side of the picture and hanging it on the wall. To remove the strips you simply take off the picture and then pull the bottom tab until the strip attached to the wall releases itself leaving the wall in beautiful shape. These are a wonderful invention, and we use them around the house in all different shapes and configurations.

Command strips are my best friend. Especially the velcro ones like these. At college, I use them to hang my heavier framed pictures AND my corkboard/Pinboard. And they hold a lot of weight. The nice thing is that you can just take two of these strips, smush them together, and then simply attach one side to the thing you need to mount, peel the back of the wall side strip, and just put it on the wall. Really easy. Also, major ease of removal. All you do is gently pull your photo and the velcro will undo. Then, peel the strip on the wall off. The nice thing about the velcro ones is that you can reuse them! Since you already attached one to your frame, all you need is to place a new one on the wall you want to hang it on. Never left any damage in my dorm.

I'm getting ready to put my house up for sale and, as part of that effort, all existing nail holes have been filled and sanded and the walls painted. I don't want to put new holes in the walls so, except for my largest pieces, I'm hanging everything with Command strips. These are intended for narrow frames where the regular strips would just be too wide. So far they've been working well and doing what they're supposed to do. When I move out I'll just peel the paintings off the wall and remove the ½ of the strip that sticks to the wall. When I get to my next home I'll only have to attach a ½ strip to the wall since the frame will still have its existing strip. That will help reduce the cost. A few small nails are A LOT cheaper than these Command strips. It's going to cost me 20-30 bucks to hang everything but it will be worth it.Another advantage is that, if the stager doesn't like where I have put the various art pieces, it will be easy to move them following her advice.

I have 2 curious indoor cats and my registers are in the floor. I've been using these Command strips to keep the registers held down where my kitties can't pry them open and get into the duct work! That would be a nightmare. The narrow Command strips fit the ends of the registers without having to trim.

First off, these are much more expensive than classic picture mounting hooks, so if you are hanging a single picture, I would go with the old style hooks. That being said, my wife and I have been visiting national parks over the last few years and I wanted to mount a number of my pictures into a collage (over 20 pictures) of our experiences and the beauty that we have observed.That is where these Command Strips shine. It is much easier to assemble a multi-picture collage and keep them properly spaced and level using the strips.There is one caveat: Follow the use manual exactly as instructed (without taking shortcuts) and you will be rewarded. Check out the how-to video on the product website. It all takes a bit of time and effort but it is worth it.

These things are fantastic. They take a little more work to install than just banging a nail into the wall, but if you take the time and follow the directions, they will work great and save your walls from looking like Swiss cheese. I have used them to hang pictures and magnet boards that each weigh several pounds, and they are still up on the wall months later. If you change your mind and want to move things around, they are removed with just a pull on the bottom tab. I haven't used them for anything heavy, so I cannot comment on that, but they are great for hanging the average picture on the wall. Give them a try and I bet you will like them as much as I do!

It's long been an issue with Command Strips that they would be too wide for thin frames. Sure you could still use them by aligning the outer edge(s) with the outer edge(s) of the frame and letting the extra hang internally beyond the frame. But this never seemed like a good hold.These have solved that. They are nice and long too (exact dimensions are 3" x 0.5"). I used two to hang up an 11x17 frame by placing them vertically down each side near the top of the frame and they are holding nicely.Might be nice if they came in black/dark brown to blend in with a darker frame a bit, but this is the same issue with all the picture hanging command strips.
