How do I hang my pictures on the wall without drilling?
Hanging a picture without hammering or drilling sounds ideal, of course. After all, drilling not only causes additional effort, but it also leaves damage on the wall. Usually, unsightly holes remain that can only be sealed again with putty. The question we at GAEKKO have therefore always asked ourselves: Is it possible to hang a picture without damaging the wall? Is it possible to fix pictures to the wall without drilling?
When drilling, you don’t want to get too close to electric cables in the wall. Many suppliers and well-known brands such as Tesa or Command have this in mind and therefore offer so-called adhesive hooks for pictures. You can also buy these products in any DIY store, for example Hornbach or Obi. With these self-adhesive picture hooks, you can simply stick your artwork to the wall. The adhesive hooks are also a modern and innovative way of attaching small decorative objects. Unfortunately, these adhesive hooks only hold a small weight and are completely unsuitable for larger or heavy objects.

The self-adhesive hangers from GAEKKO
GAEKKO’s adhesive hooks are a real alternative to conventional nails or screws. Do away with adhesive plates, mirror plates or mounting plates. From now on, you can mount your pictures on the wall without drilling or hammering. Our picture hangers are suitable for all types of pictures. Whether pictures on boards, canvases, posters, photos or postcards.
Our adhesive nails are particularly suitable for structured and sensitive wall surfaces such as woodchip, wallpaper or plaster. Our self-adhesive picture hooks can also be reused again and again: Simply attach a new adhesive strip to the back of the module and the hanger and you can hang a new picture with it.
Our picture hooks allow you to attach your pictures easily and securely. When glued, our picture hooks can withstand a weight of up to 2kg. And for heavy pictures, you can simply hang our picture hooks on the wall with the included screws or nails. This increases the load capacity of our hangers to up to 4 kg.
By the way, the load-bearing capacity of our adhesive hooks depends strongly on the strength of your surface. Our adhesive hooks are also suitable for sensitive walls such as wallpaper or plaster. It can be attached to the wall quickly and easily without the use of tools. Moreover, our picture hook leaves no traces on the wall and does not damage the surface.
Do the adhesive hooks also hold on a concrete wall?
Hello dear GAEKKO team,
I have massive walls made of reinforced concrete and for every nail, no matter how small, I always had to drill a hole in the wall with a hammer drill. I came across your self-adhesive hooks on the internet. However, I was worried about the grip. I didn’t want the adhesive hook to come off the wall over time and my picture to fall off the wall.
Now my pictures have been hanging securely on the wall for several years. Now I can finally attach a small picture or photo to wallpaper without having to drill large holes. The adhesive hook holds bombproof on my concrete wall. Easy to use and a great hold. I now use the self-adhesive hooks more often instead of a hammer and nail.
Many thanks
Chris
Alternative mounting options
Adhesive tape, adhesive strip, power strip or adhesive pads
With all these adhesive methods, the main disadvantage is that removing the adhesive pad or power strip is likely to leave ugly marks on your wall or wallpaper. Sometimes a simple solution such as household tape or adhesive pads can give the desired result. However, experience has shown that in the long run the adhesive effect wears off and your painting may fall down. The tape or power strip also often damages the painting or frame, making this method far from the cleanest and safest option.
Suction cups
With suction cups you can attach small picture frames to shop windows or smooth surfaces. Thanks to the high suction power, your pictures will stay where they belong for a long time. Of course, you can also use these suction cups to hang up towels. However, the suction power will weaken over time, which means that your pictures may fall off.
Self-adhesive hooks
These work just like adhesive tape, but are much less susceptible to damage to the wall and picture. Often, the matching pins are also supplied. Tesa and Command have these picture hooks in their range. However, due to the small adhesive surface, the hooks are not suitable for hanging photo and picture frames of any weight securely.
