Hi, I do think you can use these nails for the reasons you stated. Thanks Ken

The mounts are made for horizontal hanging, but you could buy picture wire and make it vertical.

I used my wall mounts on the ceiling. They're just fine. You can't mount them "in-ceiling" if that's the question.

They slant and are covered with fabric on the back. It is firm toward the top on the back so I guess one might try to screw a hanger in there but I would be worried about damaging something. The only way I can them practically being wall mounted is to put them on a tiny shelves the size of the bases.

use 3m command products instead. that way no holes in your wall. they are amazing! i even hang pictures with them!

There are different load ratings for the plastic anchors that you insert into the drywall. I believe that these are rated at 20 pounds each, or thereabouts. There are three plastic anchors included with the hangers, but only two of them support any weight, so you should be safe at roughly 40 pounds or less. If you need more than that, I would screw the bracket directly into studs, or use a stronger drywall insert such as a threaded anchor (purchased at a hardware store). If you screw into studs (with long screws you will need to buy at the hardware store) you could probably hold over 200 pounds. The weak link would become the little screws mounted into the back of your picture, not the wall screw. You could beef these up as well, if your frame is thick enough.

Great idea! They don't weigh very much... I just used a hook that twisted into the drywall... I think it said it was good for hanging things up to 10lbs so there was no issue whatsoever.

Hi, I sent these back because there was no hole or anything to hang them up with. I bought these for my sons posters and I bought Velcro removable poster stickers instead. I got them right here on Amazon and the posters are still up. Check them out. Hope this helps.

You could set it on a shelf, but another option would be to get those hangers made by 3m that don't mark up the wall. that's what I did because of living in a rental home and not wanting to put holes in the wall either and so far it has help up wonderfully!! Just a suggestion? Good Luck!

No. It is more for an upright position. They are made to be put up on a wall. I use my upright for my files.

No, they are designed to be stuck in a hole cut out for them. You could mount them vertically, but still on a hole in the wall.

Just put them on my wall last week. Made for the wall, but a ceiling is doable since there is a post they slide on and are fairly tight. They can pivot but not a wide range of movement because they will touch the wall.... ceiling in your case.

The frames on my units have a fair amount of 'flex' in them. They work very well on a shelf, but I'm not sure they would hold up if you tried to hang them. You might consider mounting a wall shelf under your cabinets and putting the spice racks on the wall shelf. It wouldn't have to be very heavy since the racks and spices are so light.

Yes you could. You'll need to get the angle just right so that it sits on the hanger right and is flush to the wall.

There's nothing on the back of these to support a wall mount but if you built some brackets and mounted them to studs, you'd be ok. They're not very heavy.

You could probably modify the shelves but they are preset for CD's and DVD's. But they work very well. They are lightweight so I do suggest anchoring them to the wall. Most attractive and we have received several compliments on them.

I don't see a way to mount them on a wall other than drilling a hole in the plastic (which might result in cracking the unit) then putting screws through intothe wall. Mine are all stacked on each other.
