These small fasteners, commonly available at large home improvement retailers, are designed to securely affix framed art and photographs to wall surfaces. These products provide an alternative to more invasive hanging methods that require larger holes and potentially more extensive wall repair upon removal. They are frequently purchased for their ease of use and relatively low cost.
The appeal of these specialized fasteners lies in their ability to minimize damage to walls, a significant benefit for renters or those seeking to preserve the aesthetic integrity of their homes. Historically, securing artwork required more robust hardware and potentially more involved installation. These smaller, more discreet options offer a convenient solution that balances holding power with minimal impact.
