How to hang large poster frames on plasterboard walls?

 Okay, I admit defeat! I wanted to try and do this myself but I’ve had to resort finally to some help from you legends and swallow my pride! Hahah!

 

I have two large poster frames around 5-10kg and I want to hang them side by side above our bed. It’s plasterboard and I don’t have a stud finder, so it’s extra hard to secure things! I bought the hangman canvas hangers, and tried using wall plugs with them too but the wall plugs just keep falling into the wall when I put screws in!

 

What is the best way for me to do this?

Re: How to hang large poster frames in plasterboard

Hello @SarahK1996 

 

I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble hanging your poster frames. But I think it's important to remember that you gave it a try. I suggest using the Ramset 8 x 64mm Zinc Alloy Toggle With Screw. These have a drop-down toggle and in combination with the screw will provide a secure hold onto your plasterboard wall. These wall toggles can be purchased in a larger quantity.  

 

Here is handy step-by-step guide: How to hang just about anything by @Adam_W.

 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
