Free home & diy tip: Pass criteria: level, secure, no damage (step 8 of 8 from "Hang a Picture Without Cracking the Wall").
You pass when the picture is at the intended height (center at roughly 145 cm from floor), level (bubble centered), and the fastener holds the full frame weight without creaking, tilting, or cracking the wall. If you used an anchor, tug gently — it should feel solid, not spongy.
Remove the painter's tape. Step back. If it looks right from across the room, it is right. If it looks 2 cm too high from across the room, it is 2 cm too high — adjust before the spouse notices.
You'll need
- Frame at gallery height
