picture hook

Frame support hardware

A picture hook is a small metal device designed to hold framed pictures on walls.

The typical design features a hook that accepts picture wire, mounted on a plate with angled nail holes that direct nails downward into the wall for secure hanging.

I need a heavier picture hook for this mirror.
