Hanging frames on concrete wall (no drilling allowed)

Kent Brockman

I need to hang some sample frames in a shop, the wall is concrete and I wont be drilling the wall.
The frames have a glass front and weigh 0.7kgs.
Any suggestions as to how to hang them ?

think around 2 floor to ceiling telescopic bars.....

If you cant get those try a camea tripod and make a bracket to fit down into the slot (just thinking screwing a piece of dowel onto the bracket and sliding in sounds good )

on second toughts if there picture frames then that might be a bit too much.
What about suction cups or if there is a metal plate somewhere a magnet.

Could the picture be hung from the ceiling instead? Obviously if it's a suspended ceiling you'll need to fix to something sturdy above it and if it's plastered you'll need to find a joist to fix to.

Would it be practical to mount the pictures on easels instead?

Another idea. Could you fix a ledge onto the wall using 'no more nails' or similar and then resting the pictures on the ledge?

This so so simple to answer,and theres no need to hang or suspend things from a ceiling.

Woodies,BnQ or any good diy shop.

3M Command Strips sticky back gripper pads and hooks.They hold up to 8 pounds in weight,and no need to drill a hole or use screws.

You attach 1 side of it to the wall,and the other side to the back of the frame.The more you use,then the more weight can be held on the wall.

Then you place the frame on the wall and the 2 pads interlock to hold the frame in place.

If you want to remove the pads or hooks,then you simply pull out the plastic tab and the pads come clean off the wall.

Simple as that.
