I just bought a heavy LP. (10 lbs) I have it hung up with the anchors that came with the holder. Should I be afraid to leave it hanging?

Use a spring toggle with a new screw instead. They work great and will add about $1.50 to in cost to each holder.

No you'll be just fine trust me I have an Epiphone EB3 which weighs about 14.5 lbs and a 10 lb telecaster on this you're good.

I did use the screw-in anchors for drywall just to me safe. i do not intend to put a lot of weight in the racks, but secure is better.

I just checked mine and it does have an opening in the tip of the handle to use a hook. I just don't know how secure it would hang. I guess depending on the type of hook you use.

I hang several jackets, umbrellas, and even my purse on it without any problems. I do have baskets on the shelves and one on the bottom gets the tossed mail I don't want to go through right away so it has some weight to it. That might help with stability.

do you have it attached with the anchors? are the anchors tight enough? Where did you buy it? Send it back if it is not tight enough.

Mine sitting on back of toilet. Plan to hang, but haven't yet. Read other answers about using screws and wall anchors to hold it and agree with them.

You can hang it. Its nice that its not too heavy either... you don't need those brackets that are typically used with heavy or large items

No. You can use drywall anchors. However the anchors that come with the rack are too light. I went to the hardware store and bought 100 lb anchors. It has been holding tight even though it is full and I have stuff on the top shelf.

I wouldn't put anything that weighs more than 10 lbs which is a lot. You could use 2 f these hooks if you have something that weighs more than that. Something too heavy will pull out of the siding if not clipped properly.

I thought about it, then I moved my TV over so I could line it up with the stud. There is just too much weight on this, even empty, for it to be trusted hanging from just anchor bolts in dry wall. I would avoid it if you can.

I have about 15 pounds on mine and it can probably take a little more and I only used the anchors that it came with

I noticed one comment here mentions that they simply ran it right through. The problem with that is that mine arrived rolled up on the long end AND the vinyl wasn't secured to the cardboard roll. I taped it to a 10' EMT conduit and it stay's perfectly straight. If your top bar already sags, you'll need something different. This will be far to heavy.

Yes. The anchors aren't a necessity. I lost them after a few months and have never missed them.

No problems. This thing is HEAVY!!! You don't have to tie it down. This can lay flat as well. I'll have to attach some jumper cables to it because no way I can lift it out. I think the guys won't have a problem

Great idea! They don't weigh very much... I just used a hook that twisted into the drywall... I think it said it was good for hanging things up to 10lbs so there was no issue whatsoever.

I have my acoustic hanging on it. The hanger is very sturdy and I when I make another order from Amazon I will grab another so I can hang my electric.

I sent it right back after I took it out and saw that it was not what I was looking for. But I do believe that you could use hangers on it as long is the weight was distributed equally.
