I got some IKEA Ribba frames to hang and display photos from my collection. I didn't want my photos to only be available digitally and actually display a few of my favorites.

You might ask, "Why don't you just use a nail?"

Well, the area I'm trying to hang these frames is my entry hallway, so there's more foot traffic, so I need something more secure that won't easily fall off.

So I got these things:

To give you an understanding of the frames this is how they look from behind.

However, the back panel isn't as deep as this picture.

I also have a rental, so I can't do too much. I saw some solutions online that required more invasive alterations, which I cannot do.

Any pro picture hangers here. I tried looking online, but I'm having a hard time finding more secure methods without doing much to walls.

I'm the opposite of an handyman and suck with my this type of stuff. Laugh away

I use those 3M picture hanging gimmicks. Haven't had any problems with em, even with canvas prints

Command hooks? They work with these frames?

I use those for my closet doors for hanging belts and stuff.

They look very lightweight. You shouldn't have a problem using a basic nail or hanger. It shouldn't need an anchor or anything special.

I mean, you -could- use those, but nah I'm talking about something else. It's essentially double sided tape, but much stronger. Stick it on the sides, press against the wall, done. When you need to remove them, just pull down. Doesn't fuck up the wall.

I tend to bump them and they easily fall, which is why I wanted to see if anyone knows more secure methods.

Never heard of those. Any link?

If you want to go with an anchor I love toggle bolts. They can hold a ton of weight and when it's time to take it out the back part just falls in between the wall never to bother anyone.
