rehanging

Suspending something again

Rehanging is the act of hanging something again, typically after it has been taken down or repositioned.

Most often applies to doors, pictures, curtains, or other items mounted on walls or frames: The rehanging of the gallery's collection took three days.

After the renovation, rehanging all the doors was the final task.
