3m metal hooks

Capacities span from very light-duty adhesive hooks rated at 0.5 pounds up through heavy-duty drywall hangers rated up to 65 pounds. Other common ratings shown include 1 lb, 2 lb, 5 lb, 15 lb, 25 lb, and 45 lb.

They’re designed to hold strongly on a variety of smooth indoor surfaces, including painted walls, finished wood, smooth ceilings, glass, tile, and metal. Some listings also include laminate and painted concrete or cinder block.

Clean the surface with rubbing alcohol to remove dust and grime. Apply adhesive hooks only when indoor temperature is between 50°F and 105°F. Also allow newly painted surfaces to cure for seven days before applying hooks.

Many hooks are reusable when paired with replacement refill strips; product notes reference reusing hooks with replacement strips, and some hangers are described as reusable. Availability of replacement strips depends on the specific model.

3M CLAW drywall picture hangers use engineered hardened steel claws that lock into drywall without studs or anchors. They are reusable, include spot markers for placement, and are offered in hangers rated at 15, 25, 45, and up to 65 pounds depending on the pack.
