Picture fasteners are the hardware attached to the back of the artwork in order to attach the artwork to your wall. This article describes the more common picture fasteners in use today.
To hang an artwork we are going to need something on the back of the artwork itself to attach to the wall. Sometimes frames will have a fastener already attached, or will have a hole or slot built into the design which will serve this function. Most commonly, this is achieved with a saw-tooth hanger, picture hangers or screw eyes.
