Gets the job done!
I had the opportunity to try Command Heavyweight Picture Hanging Strips. Let me preface this by saying that the hanging strips work. They're very sturdy and get the job done. The instructions are clear and recommend having a second person to help with the installation of larger frames. I can conquer that two people was better than one, and I likely should have taken that advice from the beginning. Because once those strips are on the wall, they're on! The adhesive isn't just tacky, it's tough. The strips attach to one another like Velcro. So once your strips are in place, you can move the frame up or down, which worked out well for me as my wall placements weren't all 100% accurate. I'm not loving the thickness of the strips though, as you can see the strips at the side of the frame. If your frame is wider than mine, I suggest moving the strips a bit closer to the centre.

Ok hanging strips
I have mixed feelings about these strips. In the case of hanging a canvas painting, one of the strips came off the canvas when taking the painting off the wall to let the strips set. We reapplied, and so far has held. These strips have been in use at my place of work for a few years, and have held up quite well hanging glass photos on wallpaper, however we did have one frame did fall off and break.

Not a easy as I thought
It was actually a bit more difficult to use than I thought. You do have to get a very specific type of frame. It needs to have enough border for you to fully attach it. It does tell you that it holds 10lb (with 2) and 20lb (with 4), but it's not exactly like a picture frame comes with weight on it all of the time. I had to redo one of them because the frame I had before did not have enough of a border to work. If you do use these, make sure that you bring a strip to the store before picking up your frame.
Over all, I was a bit stressed out about making the frame straight, which I do think is easier to do with a nail in the wall and the hanging string.
They seem secure, but I'm just praying they don't fall off the wall.

Easy to use
Command Heavyweight Picture Hanging Strips were easy to use and made it a breeze to hang my son's Graduation photo.
I had a couple other photos too, but unfortunately the strips were too large for the frame, and it was recommended not to cut the strips or the weight limits could be affected. I will look for some wider frames to use the remaining straps on, because I love that they are so easy to apply and remove. Having used Command products in the past, I know they won't damage my walls.

Works really well and easily to put up pictures. And the fact that I know I can put it up and not damage the walls in my home is super! Easy to use and easy to take off, that's what I am talking about!

My picture frame is holding well
I hung my picture which is a collage of pics. I am satisfied with the performance. I would certainly recommend this to others. I have this around my house in different locations
