Most wreath hangers are made from iron or steel; some lighter hooks are made from plastic.
Adjustable garland hangers are offered to fit door frames in ranges such as 34 in. to 52 in. and 52 in. to 82 in., covering typical single‑ and double‑door jamb widths.
Magnetic hangers either pair magnets on opposite sides of single‑pane glass or attach directly to metal doors. They’re intended for single‑pane glass and magnetic metal surfaces and do not work on thick double‑pane glass or non‑magnetic surfaces.
Common protective features include soft padding or protective bottoms, rubber end or hook pads, and padded contact points designed to prevent scratches and frame damage.
Adhesive hooks recommend cleaning the surface with rubbing alcohol to remove grime and mounting indoors at temperatures between 50°F and 105°F. Removal is typically done by pulling the adhesive strip straight down.
Adjustable over‑the‑door hangers list display height ranges such as 12 in. to 19 in. or 5 in. to 19 in. from the top of the door, depending on the hanger design.
Outdoor-capable hangers commonly use durable iron with a white protective or powder coating and include rubber end pads; several items are described as suitable for outdoor use with coatings intended to help prevent rusting.
