Is there a way to keep these from sliding? If I hang a headboard, a nudge left or right could knock the headboard off, correct?

It could happen. There sre some like this but much wider on Amazon. I would use those for a headboard.

I have not had any problems but the weight of the headboard is substantial. Gravity keeps it securely in place. If the object being mounted is extremely light weight there might be risk but I have never experienced it. I find it works out very well for my needs.

You are correct. You will need either hide a set screw somewhere or find some other fashion of lateral support given it being possible to slide the two clips apart.

Theoretically, yes. You would be balancing something that is 48-72" wide on a 1 1/2 apex. A better solution is to use two clips spaced on the headboard in thirds. There are clips based on the same technology that are 6-9-12" in width. They would be more appropriate, easier to level, and spread the weight over a larger area of the wall. Hope this helps.

You are correct. These clips are really meant for picture hanging. For a headboard, you could get a french cleat - then a slight nudge right or left will not be a problem.

You are absolutely correct. The simplest solution would be to put in a screw in the wall immediately to the left and right of one of these. your other option is to search for "French Cleat" picture hangers. Those work similar to these but because the parts are angled the weight of the board would create a tight fit and reduce the chance of a slide. Also, they are more forgiving if it does slide a little bit, the wider format would prevent it from falling right off.

Yes, you can stop the slip factor by Installing vertical clips at either end

They could slide. You could install wood or aluminum strips of correct thickness next to the Z-Clips to keep them from sliding.

A better choice for a headboard would be Hangman Products 30-Inch mirror and picture hanger it comes with a bubble level to install it straight and is rated for 300#. it comes will all the screws needed to install it.

There is no need for the screws to go all the way down because you use two pieces one on the wall and the other on the cabinet or whatever you are trying to hang. These can also be used with a longer rail so that you may slide the cabinet along it. Hope this helps

We live in CA so that was a concern for us as well! We screwed these into the STUD (use a stud finder) and tested them by trying to get the dresser to tip with the weight of an adult. They work great! The person who had the screws snap must have done something very wrong, they said they used them on a shelf which is weird, these are for safety strapping furnature in case of accidental tipping (or a child climbing up) not to support a shelf.

I don't know. I bolted mine and even then decided I will have to drill new holes. My pillows are sliding down behind the headboard with the current setup. Check their return policy as well. I would think you're going to have to bolt them somehow.

Yes they will slip if you only use a few. The more you use the less they slip. Also anchoring the corners with weights or furniture is helpful.

Hi there. We had the same issue! There is a small "button" on one of the legs (at the edge of the bed part) that you press . It's the same one that's SUPPOSED to click to lock it into place (had some difficulties w/one of ours). It isn't obvious since it kind of blends in with all the other black plastic hardware. Hope this helps. Have a blessed week! :) | db, charlotte nc | 11-Nov-2014.

I suppose you could BUT realize that these are basically kinda like hockey pucks. The weight of a bed holds them in place. I'd be a bit concerned about it staying in place. Good luck.

Nope, the hooks actually slide so you can jus lt push them to make a little room if needed.

They are absolutely non-slip!!!! We had the same problem as you, and now our bed just stays in place. One suggestion: measure your casters to make sure they're the right size.Good luck!!!

Strangely enough I moved my friend's cal king bed using them. It was really easy and we didn't even use them correctly. The bed will seem really low to the ground unless you properly use the middle hook for our heights.Cover the bed with some junk sheets just in case, but I had no issues. Ez

Yes. I put them on the support legs under a twin bed wooden headboard and footboard. Very simple peel paper and stick on. Makes it easy to move bed and they do not come off as bed slides.

They slide on like a curtain. I've used them many times like that. I would recommend getting clamps, though. The stand, in my opinion, is very flimsy and I have had them fall over before if the background was too far to one side or whatnot.

I used these brackets with a queen headboard and king bed with hook brackets for the headboard and to be honest it does move a bit. There really isn't any alternative if you want to combine mismatched beds and headboards. The weight of your headboard will actually be an advantage and may move less than mine. I'd say do it!

There are openings for a screw/wing nut. We attached our headboard bit it's all about the spacing and height of the headboard/legs.

I use them with wood. I bought some cheap 1x2's and screwed them into the wood on the bottom on the inside of the brackets. To be more secure you do it on inside and outside. I haven't had an issue with sliding. The weight of the objects on the shelf keeps it pretty stable.

I had the same problem with mine, I actually ended up drilling a few holes all the way through and using a pin to keep it from sliding. Hope it helps

I think that you slide them on from the end first but they seem like they could possibly be pushed on with effort. They do not come off easily & I so not want to mess them up trying. Handy man set this up for me.
