Description:
Built-in hook for hanging paintings, prints, mirrors, and anything framed. Use also for telephone cable, household electrical wire, and TV/audio cable.
The TH hook anchor, when used with a screw in hollow walls, holds 3x more than old-fashioned nail-in metal picture hooks. The weight of the picture rests on the screw, close to the wall, preventing pull-out. Corrosion-proof for hanging fixtures in humid areas. Works in hollow, thick, and solid walls.
Installation:
Drill a 5/16" diameter hole—minimum hole depth in solid walls 1-1/4". Fold hook anchor, insert in hole, and tap flush with wall.
Insert red key to pop hook anchor open behind wall (except in thick or solid walls). DO NOT HAMMER KEY. Remove key.
Insert screw and tighten until flush with hook anchor—then stop. Use screw enclosed in bag or any sheet metal screw from #6 through #14 with a minimum length of 1-1/2".
The hook anchor also wedges securely in thick and solid walls. Do NOT use key.
APPLICATIONS & SOLUTIONS:
No one wants seven years of bad luck from a cracked mirror! TOGGLER® High Performance Anchors hold mirrors securely on all walls.
The mounting hardware on mirror could be a wire across its back, keyhole hardware, a D-ring, or a D-strap. All of these work well with TOGGLER wall anchors.
If there is a wire across the back of the mirror, we recommend using the TOGGLER Picture Hook Anchor, because its uniquely shaped hook guides the wire into position and captures it on the anchor. There is little chance of the wire slipping off the hook, even under vibration. In addition, the hook holds the wire securely on the screw, not below it (as with standard J-hooks). This increases the load that the anchor can safely carry. The TOGGLER Picture Hook Anchor can also carry small gauge D-rings and D-straps.
Larger gauge D-rings and D-straps, and keyhole hardware mount directly on screws whose heads stand off slightly from the wall.
Use the information to the right and our
Application Finder to choose the right TOGGLER anchor to hold the screw, depending on the wall material and the weight of the mirror.
