What do you hang your art off of??, by ben3486 on Oct 16, 2018 19:52:02 GMT 1, I’ve just been using wall plugs and hanging off of the screw, but now I’ve moved in with the better half and she has a 3yo and a 5yo. Is this secure enough? Or is there a better option out there?

As long as it's high enough off the ground for them not to touch. If they get older you might need t-lock hangers. They would need to pull the security lock out of the drywall to access the frame.

It’s more that kids just seem interested in aaaaaaany thing that’s new and although they’re mostly good they do like to Chuck the odd thing around when they’re in a little hyper mood. I’m sure it’ll be fine on the wall plugs and screws. Appreciate the heads up on the T locks though. Thank you

What do you hang your art off of??, by Adam The Collector on Oct 19, 2018 0:57:38 GMT 1, Hey Ben,
I have your same concern so what I have done is switch all my works that are valued about 1,500USD and up to start using "earthquake" picture hangers that have a latch so if bumped or disturbed it has no way of falling. They are one dollar a piece and obviously really worth it. My 5 year old niece comes around often and I was always concerned something was going to get knocked off the wall. In addition, with any works that fall into the 10,000USD and up category; I make sure to have framed with Museum Optium acrylic so there is no way for it to shatter and destroy the work. Everything else has standard museum glass.
