Our guide to hanging up a picture

Whether precious masterpieces or family memories, hanging pictures on your wall can create a beautiful feature in your home, but can be trickier than it first appears. Our step-by-step guide however will make the process easy and stress free.

Start by holding the picture against the wall to see where you want the picture to hang. Next set up a cross line laser, we recommend the Quigo.

Mark on the wall the top corners of the frame using a pencil and then in between these markings, draw a dot to mark where the nail should sit. Make sure it's am equal distance from each side; the laser lines will help with this.

Before drilling the nail into the wall, make sure to check it’s safe to do so by using a detection device.
