If I used more than one disc to hang a heavy plate, would you adhere one on top of the other and did you hang it from more than one hook on the wall?

Thanks for your question. When using two plate hanger discs to hang a heavy plate you would attach them across from each other on the back of the rim of the plate. You would then run picture hanging wire between the rings on the plate hangers and hang them on one or two nails/hooks on the wall, depending on the size of the plate, so that it would not show any wire or hook at the top of the plate.

If you are asking how you remove the yellow disc hanger, I would just soak the plates in water and the glue should loosen up. If you just want to clean the plates without removing the hanger just use a wet cloth to clean the front surface.

As long as the back of the plate is large enough to fit the full adhesive pad (as yours obviously is), what the hanger will hold all depends on the weight of the plate. This 5.5in one is rated for up to 6lbs or so (for reference you can visit: http://www.allplatehangers.com/Plate-Hangers). There are instructions that come with the hangers & I've always followed exactly what they say & have had great success with various sized objects (even used it on back of canvas paintings). I've had no mishaps & no complaints! :)

I used screws to mount it. I decided to go the extra mile and first I cut a piece of plywood a little larger than the base of the wall organizer and mounted the plywood to the wall first. It was a drywall wall, and I wanted to be able to screw the plywood to the studs behind the drywall, and not just into the drywall alone. Then I screwed the wall organizer to the plywood. It may not be necessary to do that, but this way, I know it will never come loose or pull away from the wall. I personally would not trust double stick tape for something like this.

you have both options. On the wall I prefer using screws, on tiles or mirror adhesive is better.

Ellie, that is something that I could not answer exactly. I only know the version I purchased. A small assumption would be that the holes on the mounting plate that is on your ceiling or wall are most likely about the same. Obviously one is so adding one screw hold is not difficult. The hardware stores carry self tapping screws so all you would need is a screw driver. good luck

I'm using metal picture hanging hooks but I've placed the fabric disk toward the center of my metal plates so the place where the picture hook at the metal hook (on the yellow disc) connect is below the edge of my plate so you can't see the picture hook at all.

Well that a very tuff question. Because if I say one of the brackets . And you don't hit a stud. This would be very bad. I used both brackets an its still hanging. So for the money! I would rather be safe then sorry. Thats just me. Hope this helped.

I have several heavy framed prints with glass that probably weigh 5 pounds hanging on these hooks. If I think it what I am hanging is too heavy I use two.

Yes, that is exactly what we did. My husband mounted two small strips of wood to the wall (because the board frame is not wide enough to reach two studs) and mounted the board to those strips. Works great.

We took a picture hanger hook and nailed it to the wall then used the picture hanging wire and wrapped it around the top suction cup and hung it on the hook. Hope that makes sense!

I did use one to hang a two bulb light but had a problem keeping the fixture from swinging,when I added a second hanger it was perfect balance....personally I would always use two..

Yes....no issues with using another holder. In fact I hate this over designed bracket.....good luck :)

My thought would be they need to be completely flat. The reviews I saw all sounded fairly positive, but I hate to say that I didn't have as much luck. I did exactly as the instructions showed, cleaning the surface, etc. Within a week, the two plates I hung, fell down. The surface was completely flat except at the very top by the hanging loop of the disc. I was very bummed because I bought several to use. I wish I could offer better news on my experience with the discs.

There is a bracket to hang unit on the wall. You can use that with some anchors if going into wall board. You may also want to use a 1 X 4 X 16" board and install that between the studs and then hang unit on the board for stability.

Its pretty heavy, I hung mine using poster strips and it took about 30 strips per panel, and so three panels used quite a few, also you would probably have to use magnets more than just around the edges scattered over the whole thing. A better idea may be to mount the three panels on a huge piece of cardboard or plywood and prop it against the wall or up on a table or bookshelf

Yes!! I did it like this, I held my boards up where I wanted to put them with the bottom bracket held on the wall with my hand ). Slightly off center in the waist of the board worked best( I did this solo but if someone was there to help it would have been easier) I marked around the outside of the bracket with a pencil, you cant just mark the holes because the board covers them, I installed it to the wall, put the board up on the now mounted bracket and just experimented where along the top the best pivot point was and did the same thing again. Theyve been up there for months and ive taken them down and put them back a few times this season and they work great.I wish I could attach a picture of them lol Yes!!
