No-drill does not mean risk-free. These steps describe the 3M Command Picture Hanging Strips product family: follow the weight limit, permitted substrates and post-paint waiting period printed on your local pack. Choose a more secure mounting method for irreplaceable or heavy glazed frames.

1. Weigh and measure the entire frame. Check your specific pack's maximum load and number of strip pairs. Avoid wallpaper, rough or fragile finishes, above-bed positions and overhead hazards.
2. Choose a smooth, sound wall. Respect the waiting time after repainting stated on the regional product label, and consider testing an inconspicuous area for surface sensitivity.
3. As instructed by 3M, wipe the wall with isopropyl rubbing alcohol and allow it to dry. Ventilate and stay away from flames or heat. Household cleaners and water may leave adhesion-reducing residue.
4. Click each pair of strips together and attach them to the specified points on the frame back. Work with the frame face-down on a protected surface and account for protruding hanging hardware.
5. Remove the remaining liners and press the frame to the wall. Carefully peel the frame away to reinforce each wall strip for 30 seconds, then wait one hour as instructed before clicking the frame back into place.
6. Check for lifting or movement and avoid spots where a child or pet could pull the frame down. To remove, peel the frame sideways, then slowly stretch the release tab straight down along the wall—never pull out from the wall.
