FAQs

We do not recommend the plate hangers for plastic, acrylic, or melamine plates. In general, the hangers do not adhere to plastic material. However, some people have had success with certain plastics. You are welcome to try the plate hangers on your plastic, melamine, or acrylic plates, but we do not guarantee success and you do so at your own risk.

Yes. To hang large platters use two or more hangers. For example, use three 5.5" hangers to hang a 20lb platter. String picture hanging wire between the hangers, and then hang the platter from a picture hook on the wall. Make certain to distribute the weight evenly among the hangers.

Although we do not recommend this, the plates are usable with the disc attached. If you plan to use the plate with the disc attached, make sure you do not get the disc wet. Rinse/clean only the front of the plate with cool water. Always perform the pull test (pull firmly on the plate hanger) before rehanging the plate.

To avoid covering writing on the back of your plate, use two smaller hangers attached to the lips of the plate. String picture hanging wire between these two smaller hangers, and then attach the plate to a picture hook on the wall. Make sure the the two hangers support the weight of the plate.

The plate hangers hold different weights depending on their size.

• 1 1/4" hangers hold 1lb
• 2" hangers hold 2lbs
• 3" hangers hold 3lbs
• 4" hangers hold 5.5lbs
• 5 1/2" hangers hold 7lbs

You can connect two discs by strong cord or wire to hold heavier plates.
These weight limits are very conservative. They are based on the strength and integrity of the cloth and Dee-Rings, not the bond strength between the glue and the surface to which it is adhered. Whatever the application, you must prepare the article adequately according to instructions.
