Beehive Picture Hangers | 50 Pcs Picture Hanging Hardware Kit | Fully Adjustable | for Wood Frames and Canvases on Drywall | 20 lb Capacity | Hangs 6 Frames

I had just built a custom LED backlit poster frame and needed some way to mount it on the wall. I tried using some D-rings and wire I had laying around but the added weight kept unravelling the twist and the wire kept pulling out of the D-rings. I had to double the wire back on itself to prevent it from pulling out. The wire did not feel stable and it was quite difficult to make the poster level with the one next to it so I decided to search for something better. That's when I discovered these Beehive hangers. I hoped that they would solve the problem with the wire instability and the leveling issue with the poster next to it. Once I received them, I removed the old D-rings and wire and screwed the Beehive hangers to the frame. Then all I had to do was line up the poster frame with the one next to it and press down. It helps to either have a level or someone standing a little way back to eyeball it for you before you press down. Once you press down, it makes two small indents in the wall to mark where the support pins go. The indents are set about halfway down the honeycomb pattern to provide adjustment up and down and side to side - well thought out design. I found these hangers very easy to install on the frame and mount on the wall. The screws to mount the hangers to the frame are small but feel very sturdy once mounted. Once on the wall, the whole assembly is very stable and does not shift or sway side to side when bumped. These will be my go to picture hangers from now on.

These hangers ARE revolutionary and amazing. In my 30+ years of adulthood, I have never hung a picture as quickly and easily as I did with these Beehive Picture Hangers. I'll be the first to admit that I may be a little OCD in the "gotta hang it perfectly" department -- and my pictures often sit around, unhung. The pictures I was planning to hang with the Beehive Hangers were no different -- they sat around for months because I didn't want to make a bunch of holes in the wall and have off-kilter pictures. I finally got my act together and searched Amazon for some picture hangers (there were none on the backs of my canvases). These Beehive Picture Hangers popped up, caught my interest, landed in my cart, and ended up at my door within two days. These hangers are LIFE CHANGING. That's no lie! It was very easy to attach the hangers to the back of my canvas picture, hold it up to where I wanted it on the wall, place a small lightweight level on the top edge of the picture, and press the hangers into the wall in the perfect place. I then removed the picture, found the marks made by the hangers, hammered in the hooks, and positioned my picture. I love that you can adjust the position one small hole up or down, left or right, and don't have to put more holes in the wall! I'll never use another picture hanger... the Beehive Picture Hangers are where it's at. I will say that the wall fasteners (the part that you nail into the wall at your marks made by the Beehive Hanger) are a little tricky to start, but once you get one in and get the feel for it, it's easy to continue. I found that the best plan of attack was if I started the first 1/8 inch straight and then pushed it up so it was parallel to the wall and hammered it the rest of the way in. (Note: In the pictures below, I did not use the Beehive Hangers to hang the clock -- it already had a hanging mechanism on the back, and I couldn't have hammered in the Beehive part because it's metal.)

This product is genius!! It truly makes it easy to hang pictures that are perfectly straight!

I love these hangers. Both this size and the larger size. They are too large for you average 8x10 framed photo, but for larger things they are the GOAT. I have used the smaller version for frames as small 10" high x 20" wide and the larger hanger on frames as large as 60" wide by 40" high. I particularly like them for things that are over a bed, couch or door because they are secure if used properly. I also purchased extra beehive hanger nails to use by themselves because with the "Stinger" tool for setting the nails they are much easier to install and they are sturdier than the nails with the angled circular plate found at the hardware store. The hangers come with the "Stinger" tool that you use to hammer the nails into the wall with. It's a great help with the Beehive nails.

The Beehive Hangers do a great job of simplifying the sometimes problematic, frustrating task of hanging photographs/paintings in an orderly way - level, evenly spaced, etc. Since the beehive is adjustable, both vertically and horizontally, it is easy to correct for slightly unevenly-placed wall hooks. Although sometimes the perfect beehive hole just isn't quite there, you'll always be able to come very close. If not close enough, a slight repositioning of the wall hook will resolve any issues. FAR easier (and less expensive) than buying a laser level that may only get used a time or two. Once we got the routine figured out with our level and spacing device, our 10-painting gallery went up fairly easily. (For us, it was a two-person job - one worked the level and spacer, the other located and mounted the hanging hardware). Results look great - level and evenly spaced - and, so far, all 10 remain on the wall positioned where we placed them. Good product!

I don't write many reviews unless the product is excellent (at or better than expected) or to save someone else the pain of problem discovery and regret. I'll admit I am a bit of an accuracy-perfectionist so expected a lot from these. Great invention and they work exactly as designed/advertised. Highly recommended and well worth the expense over other hanging hardware. I used the original size. The "no measuring tag line" isn't entirely true - multiple fame hangings projects still need layout and spacing measurements to keep your exhibition consistent. To speed that I used a laser line (faster and less messy than a 8 foot chalk line) to reference height and placed 5 frames on that line on 3 inches spacing. Perfect. Exactly what I needed and the entire project took ~45 minutes (for 5 frames at 16.5" square each including layout). The last frame set I hung was a pair of 11x14 side by side using conventional wire and hooks. That took over 2 hours and beyond cuss-word frustrating to get the alignment precise; having to screw around with N-S-E-W tweaking endlessly. The Beehives made my recent project actually enjoyable! A few observations (and my opinions): 1) I disagree with the negative comments about the inability to see the positioning tick marks. It takes very little force to "click" the tick marks into place in conventional drywall. I tried it with wood also - same thing - you can't miss the marks in a basic smooth surface. 2) Beehive: great move to include a small hanger setting tool in the kit! Makes it a cinch to press the hanger spikes exactly where needed at the correct angle. To users: just make sure you orient the angle correctly in the tool to keep the right angle correct (obviously). 3) A long thought on bracket spacing geometry and frame size might improve your multi-frame placement accuracy. Beehive ad pictures show the plates installed on the far corners of the frame. Mounting the bracket pairs closer to center frame will will allow different height adjustment control. In other words, a small height difference from the positioning holes closer to the center will produce a different amount of change at frame edges over greater distance (frame width) than the same adjustment motion when brackets are way out at the ends of a longer span (greater distances for wider frames). 4) Just make sure to measure and mount the brackets the same for all frames in a group to help ensure alignment ease when hanging. Matters not for single frames. 5) The mounting screws in the original sized kit are small (good thing) but the frames should still be pilot hole drilled. That not only makes screwdown easier but also improves accuracy, avoids hardwood splitting, or hole mounds forming under the screw head. 6) To other reviewer comments about the bracket adding too much space distance between the frame-wall: I disagree if comparing to conventional wire on hook. The Beehive is actually closer to the wall. Typically wire hanging lets the weight of the frame pull the top section of the frame further away than the spacing added by the Beehive. This is true even when wires are strung tight near the top of the frame. With decent size bumpers on the lower corners of the frame the Beehive actually looks great since the spacing around the perimeter of the frame is now the same AND closer overall. While this may not be true for the sawtooth type hangers - add the hook height to that and I'll bet it works out to be the same (Beehive distance might look greater but it isn't). Enjoy. I did and will in future hanging projects.

I purchased the regular Beehive Hangers for smaller frames and the Max for larger canvas paintings for our new place. These things are awesome!!! I called to hire someone to hang all our pictures/art because I didn't want to go through the hassle of measuring, etc. I canceled after I found these. They make hanging pictures a breeze....no measuring! For really large pieces, like the canvases I hung up, it does help to have someone with you so they can hold the art while you make the indentation, but it's still manageable alone. You can adjust them all different directions, which makes it so easy to level the picture or align it with another one on the wall. They hold the picture on the wall very securely as well. I have used them for 4 large paintings and 4 large frames so far, and will be using them for another 6 frames. Tip: Be mindful that they have the pointy little thing to make the indentation on the wall, so don't sit frames against each other before hanging or it could scratch the other frame. Same goes for the wall....while you're moving the picture around to eyeball and place the picture, don't move the picture around with the hangers pressed against the wall or it could scratch the wall. These things are genius!

I absolutely love the Beehive picture hangers! I am a photographer and sell a lot of wall art to clients. I also hang a lot of art in my home, and recently had purchased custom frames for art I had. Enter the Beehive system. It was easy to use. Ignore the reviews saying the pins in the wall are garbage; they didn't understand how to use it. How-to: 1. Screw your beehive hangers into the back of your frame. 2. Line framed picture up on the wall and push in. "Push it, Push it real good!" a la Salt n Peppa. 3. Note the small marks on the wall. IMPORTANT: THEY ARE DIFFICULT–BUT NOT IMPOSSIBLE–to see on textured walls with flat paint. You can mitigate this by marking the hole with a pencil to see it more easily when you go to push the pin in. 4. The system comes with an orange "stinger" that you stick the short end of the metal hanger into. After you have marked your walls with the honeycomb, you push the long end of the pin down into the wall where you made your mark, using the orange stinger. These pins are small enough you don't need to drill (exceptions being concrete, etc). Once the pin is all the way in at the correct angle, you can loosey-goosey the stinger off the other end and hang your artwork. Done! Highly, highly recommend using this for artwork.

excellent

Easy to use .. saves time.. marker on beehive leaves just tiny marks ..use pencil to highlight.. providing frame is flat to the wall. The only criticism that small screws to attach beehive to frame were to small for my joiners screwdriver who took a trip home to get more suitable ones. Overall an excellent product would recommend

These are perfect for stabilizing those picture frames that are always moving out of level.

I used these for a canvas collage. I had used velcro removable tabs before and eventually all of the pictures fell down. I'm so glad I found this product. I was a little worried as I didn't want to wreck the wall but took the plunge today. I did it all by myself! Only warning I would give is buy a pack that has more than you need. I needed 18 and ended up bending 3 so I couldn't use them. Glad I bought the larger package.

In many ways a great idea which works well but, although the pins that go into the wall look thick, they actually bend very easily when trying to hammer them into anything harder than soft plasterboard - even with pilot holes. If they just improved the specs of the pins it'd be 5 stars
