I used this to hang up my wedding sign on the wall after the big day. I placed strip I all corners plus added extra in top and middle bottom to ensure it didn’t fall. So far weeks gone by and it still holding in place. Yes I recommend!
I have used other makes of picture hanging strips but a,ways go back to the Command type because they Actually do what they say they will do , had one lot on a picture in the conservatory where the heat temperatures vary so much , they have been their for 5 years and still doing their job ,
Definitely recommend
Once the items stuck it’s stuck make sure you have pressed them exactly where you need it as you cannot peel and restivk !
I have only used on light frames so I cannot talk re anything else but for me it’s great !
Been buying these off Amazon for years now. Never had an issue when needing to remove them. Walls have been left in perfect condition. I have hung heavy photo frames, large canvas all over my house without an issue
Useful for properties where rawplugs are not allowed. Purchased these and found them very useful, a good tip is is check the mass of the object you which to place on the hook. Certainly suitable for keys and kitchen utensils!
Brilliant – the only brand of command strips that does exactly what it says and more. Really reliable, whereas every other knockoff brand I’ve tried has either ripped out my wall paint (I rent), left marks, or just cannot hold any weight (which is absolutely the most annoying thing when you have things falling off your wall at all hours of the day and night, or at every slight touch).
The instructions on the packs are clear and concise and the quality is great every time. Have been using these for years and have never had any problems with large and heavy frames falling down, or the walls being damaged when removed.
The only thing I would say is make sure you are certain you’ve lined everything up correctly because once they’re on there’s no readjusting unless you want to remove and dispose of a strip! They stick quickly, so make sure you have your spirit level handy!!
I’ve noticed that some buyers are unhappy with these strips. If they’re mounted properly, the pictures will stay up for years – yes years! The trick is to use the correct backing sticker for the frame then press really hard and forget about mounting the picture for at least 2 hours to give the glue time to bond. I wouldn’t go back to using picture hooks or tacks. These are much better, easier and come off as easily as they went on and don’t take the paint with them..
I must say that these were not my first choice of mounting option – but i had no other choice due to utilities located in the wall where i needed to mount something. So far so good – they are holding strong and i am quite impressed. As with most sticky strips there is a slight gap between the item and wall caused by the thickness of the strip, but nothing too bad.
For someone who has never used these, its like a ‘velcro version 2.0’ – there is a sticky bit for both the item and the wall, and they interlock when pressure is applied like velcro (and can be seperated if you need to too), but the 2 main differences are the command adhesive – which has a release tab that (supposedly- i’ve not tried it) keeps your surface damage free when taking them off for good, and there isnt a ‘hook’ and a ‘loop’ side – both are quite rigid ‘strands” that do not catch on things like fabrics etc when not mated with another piece.
Im not going to go round and replace all nails and screws with these – they are quite expensive in comparison – but they are a suitable alternative to nails and screws in my experience so far if thats what you are looking fo
Great idea in principle. I have installed a bunch of framed artwork in my study and for some frames it was easy but one in ten gave trouble. Its critical to have good surface area to adhere to – the surface type is important too- paper backing on the rear of frames can be loose if older and may give way. Narrow framed pics have less to fix to and clip frames are a no -no. Wall surface needs to be smooth and paperless (My wall is a plain papered one but has a vinyl surface coating . Most of the time this seems to be ok .
Give each ‘half’ a chance to adhere to the wall or frame, then line them up carefully and press the two halves together firmly and you will her a velcro ‘click’ which should show things are ok
Having said all this , when they hold they are very good, quick and simple. but you will often need 4 per frame which seems over the top and can make it expensive.
In principle they are a great idea as long as you use enough to ensure the load is even.
My recommendation is try it but be cautious as you apply.
+++++ Update Jan 2020 +++++ Occaisionally the odd one ‘loosens’ at the velcro joint, so once a month just go round and carefully push them together against the wall for 10 seconds and they’ll be ok.
It works on a ‘Velcro’ type design and the details suggested it could hold 2/3lbs in weight, so putting the picture on the scales and it not even registering 1lb I thought ‘BRILLIANT’, then I read further, they shouldn’t be used above beds or with valuable pictures, so even from their description they aren’t very confident of their ability. I carried on reading the instructions (very unlike me) and it suggested using 4 pairs of strips for 1 picture, which I think would mean I would get 3 pictures up with this pack…damn the nail idea is proving a lot cheaper now.
Anyway, I ignored the suggestion and carried on with just 2 pairs of strips and the first one went up so easy, I had to re-read the instruction to make sure I hadn’t missed anything. I got cocky and got another 2 pictures up in seconds.. (well minutes as you have to wait a minute to rehang the picture but you get the idea), but alas the 4th picture didn’t go to plan with 2 of the strips coming off the wall when you peel the picture back.
All in all, I think they are a great idea, the way forward instead of spending how long drawing lines all over your walls, making sure the nail(s) are all straight and then the things fail anyway and leave a hole in the wall when you decide to decorate. Maybe when they come down in place a bit it will change the way we hang stuff!!! It’s the Future…but it’s not perfect yet.
Each strip needs to be paired with another the same size via a velcro-like fixing method. This then ensures there are two strips back to back with the 3M adhesive on. Following that, just make sure the two surfaces you’re sticking them to are clean, then just stick it on, apply pressure for a minute and let go.
When you need to remove them you just separate the velcro-like arrangement and there’ll be a strip left on the wall, just pull down on the tab (not away, definitely DOWN!) and it’ll come off the wall without a mark.
These are decent if you have plasterboard walls and don’t want to be drilling about. They’re also really useful for multiple-panel canvases – for instance where you have one picture separated into two or more separate canvases. It makes keeping them level easier as you just match them up then apply pressure, rather than sticking a screw in the wall first.
Two and a half years on 12 of the 13 items I used the strips on are still hanging up on the walls and in that time have not fallen off the wall, fact. The one that did was not a picture frame but a 35cm x 60cm hanging Egyptian mat. The strips we placed on the wall were still in place but the ones we stuck onto the mat came off. The fabric sticks to strips for a while but the problem is the sticky surface on the back of the strip pulls at the fabric. The mat can defy gravity for so long before the weight of it will make it pull away from the strip and what your left with is a mat on the floor and the strips still on the wall stuck together with bobble on the back…if that makes any sense 🙂
The rest of the picture frames hanging up range from a 88cm x 57cm glass oak framed picture to a small 20cmx15cm. We used 6 large strips for the big picture frame and one medium sized for the smallest. All are still going strong. We were too chicken to hang up a mirror but seeing how the others have held up after this much time we might just order some more of these strips and give it a shot.
Our wall is a brick wall which has been plastered and then painted over. We stuck the strips directly onto the painted wall. We haven’t tried on wallpaper so cannot say how these strips work on wallpaper. All I’m going to say is make sure you measure out correctly exactly where you want your frames to hang first including where the strips are going to be on the wall and on the back of the frame. Mis-alignment will just waste time and if you keep removing the strips and sticking them back on then you might end up with a few wasted strips.
When we received these I stuck every single strip on a wall space, all strips were close together. Then throughout the day I kept sticking the other half of the strips to my wife’s back and bottom. Bless her she didn’t have a clue. During the evening I made up some excuse and got her close to the wall where the strips were stuck on. I leaned her against the wall and pressed her back against it and walked away. She remained stuck to the wall for a couple of minutes before she pulled herself away. It was hilarious, I’ve never received so many death threats in the two minutes she was stuck there than in my whole life. So you see these have more uses. Who say’s us oldies can’t have a laugh at 65?
