A 179-piece picture hanging kit with brass plated plates, hangers, D-rings, sawtooth brackets, hooks, picture nails, nylon line and steel hanging wire. Everything you need to hang pictures properly, all in one tray.
This picture hanging kit brings together 179 pieces of the hardware you actually reach for when hanging frames, mirrors and artwork. Brass plated picture plates, D-rings, sawtooth brackets, hooks, hangers, picture nails, nylon line and steel hanging wire are all included in a single mixed tray. Rather than hunting through separate boxes for the right fitting, everything is in front of you from the start.
The variety of fixings in the kit means it covers a wide range of hanging jobs. Lightweight frames, heavier canvases, mirrors with awkward backing boards — different jobs call for different hardware, and this kit has most of it covered. Sawtooth brackets suit frames with a flat timber back. D-rings work well on frames where you want a more secure fixing point. Picture plates let you hang frames flush to the wall with a clean finish.
What Is Included in This Picture Hanging Kit
The tray contains a useful mix of brass plated fittings and fixings alongside the consumables you need to actually complete the job. Picture nails are included for direct wall fixing, which keeps things simple for lighter frames. The steel hanging wire and nylon line give you options depending on the weight and style of the piece you are hanging. Steel wire suits heavier frames where nylon line might stretch or wear over time.
Having a mixed tray like this on the van or in the workshop saves time on smaller jobs where ordering individual packs would be impractical. It is equally useful at home if you are working through a room and need a bit of everything without making multiple trips to the trade counter. The brass plating on the fittings gives a decent finish for visible hardware, which matters when the fitting will be seen rather than hidden behind the frame.
At 179 pieces, there is enough stock in the tray to work through a reasonable number of jobs before you need a replacement.
Pro Tip: When using steel hanging wire on heavier frames, double the wire back through the D-ring and twist it tightly on itself rather than relying on a single pass — it takes an extra thirty seconds and significantly reduces the chance of the wire pulling through under load.
This picture hanging kit is used wherever frames, mirrors, canvases and artwork need to be mounted to walls. It suits decorators finishing a room, joiners fitting out a property, and anyone working through a list of small hanging jobs where having a variety of fixings to hand is more practical than sourcing them individually. The kit works across timber-backed frames, canvas stretchers and board-mounted prints, covering most standard hanging scenarios with the fittings provided.

Not suitable for: Not suitable for hanging very heavy mirrors or large commercial artwork where purpose-rated mirror plates or load-rated fixings are required. The wall fixings themselves are not included, so appropriate plugs and screws for the wall type will need to be sourced separately.
Sort through the tray before starting and select the right fixing type for each frame. Sawtooth brackets fix directly to the top edge of a timber-backed frame and sit on a single nail in the wall. D-rings are screwed into the back of the frame, then connected with steel wire or nylon line strung between them. Picture plates sit flat on the back of the frame and hook onto a nail or screw fixed to the wall.
Use steel hanging wire for heavier frames and nylon line for lighter pieces. Picture nails are suitable for direct fixing into plasterboard or timber, but for masonry walls you will need a plug and screw first.
Assess the frame and select the appropriate fitting from the tray — sawtooth bracket, D-rings, or picture plate.
For D-rings, mark and screw them into the back of the frame at an equal height on both sides.
Thread steel wire or nylon line through the D-rings, pull taut and twist or knot securely.
For sawtooth brackets, fix centrally to the top edge of the frame back using the screws provided or suitable alternatives.
For picture plates, screw to the back of the frame and mark the wall position for the corresponding nail or screw.
Fix the wall nail or hook at the correct height, checking level before driving it in fully.
Hang the frame and check it sits level — adjust the wire tension or fixing position as needed.
Does this kit include wall plugs or screws for fixing into the wall?
No, wall plugs and screws are not included. The kit provides the frame-side hardware and picture nails for direct fixing into plasterboard or timber, but you will need to supply your own plugs and screws for masonry walls.
Is the steel wire suitable for heavier frames, or is it for lightweight use only?
The steel hanging wire is more suitable for heavier frames than nylon line. For very heavy mirrors or large framed artwork, purpose-rated mirror hanging systems with a declared load rating would be the safer choice.
What does 179 pieces mean in practical terms — how many frames will this kit hang?
It depends on the method used, but a typical framed picture using D-rings and wire might use 3 to 5 pieces from the kit. A straightforward sawtooth bracket job uses even fewer. Realistically, the tray will cover a good number of hanging jobs before it needs replacing.
The fittings in this kit are brass plated steel, which gives a reasonable finish for visible hardware while keeping the weight of the fittings low. Steel hanging wire provides reliable tensile strength for everyday picture hanging loads. Nylon line is included for lighter applications. The 179-piece count covers a range of fitting types, making the tray practical as a general-purpose stock item rather than a single-task pack.
