How do you use these if you are hanging a metal piece? I have a metal headboard that I was told these would work for but can't figure it out.

Their are two interlocking pieces. One piece is mounted to the wall while the other is mounted to your headboard. The headboard then slides down to lock into place. See an expanded diagram here: http://cdn.thewinfieldcollection.com/images/scroller_images/large/fmh.jpg

You would need a drill the right size bit and metal screws to attach the hardware.

You might be able to use screws designed for metal. It's difficult to answer with seeing the piece though.

Go down to your local hardware store and tell them what you are trying to do - they will point you towards the right hardware. Briefly, you're going to want a HSS (high speed steel) or a titanium carbon-coated drill bit and the right screws. Make sure you're not exceeding weight specs (for the mount OR your wall)

if you have a way to mount it to your metal piece then i don't think it would be tricky. your local home goods store can point you in the right direction as to the best screws\bits for this purpose :)

Am making my own headboard with 3/4 inch plywood for a queen size bed so the headboard will be quite heavy. How many should I use to not have it fall down? Any information, ideas or suggestions are very appreciated !

Yes but like the other response make sure your frame is long enough. I used them on a twin frame for a headboard

These units are designed to go on wooden support slats under the box spring not on the box spring itself. Replace your metal support slats with wooden slats and you could use these.

I could not get these to work at all on my bed. I believe I threw them out. What worked for me were corner straps, but it sounds like that is not where you are having your issue.

it depends on what you are trying to hang. these worked for a wooden corkboard i had but failed to hang a slightly heavier makerboard. i had to use the stronger outdoor mounting tape for the makerboard

They should still work fine since you adjust the suspenders tension to fit your bed & sheet anyway. It may loosen up the sheet if you have to bend the bed frequently or the tension could be too much if it is too tight before the bed is adjusted upright. But you should be able to find a tension that works for you.

Not a problem! I'm pretty sure it will work fine. I used it to secure a heavy, solid wood headboard that used to constantly bang against the wall with any movement. It not only secured the headboard, it also stopped it from making any noise. Best of luck!

I ended up sending mine back because it didn't work in the space I was going to use them. I think using little tack nails would work and hang them by the little circles in the back.

These bed rails are designed for hook-on connections, so no hardware is necessary. To use these, you should have hook-in slots in both your headboard and footboard, and inside those slots should be two metal pins which are approximately two inches apart on centers.If you need a frame which has bolts going through the frame and through the headboard/footboard which are either 2-1/2" or 4" apart, you'll want to search for Bolt-On bed frames, not Hook-On.If you need help picking the best frame for your needs, call us at 1-800-823-4233.

No, they do not and would not work for a tapestry! I purchased them to hang up christmas lights which slip right into the clip. I actually just hung up a tapestry in my room using the Command utenstil hooks because there's a strong metal hook at the end that really works well for the weight of my large tapestry. However to use them I did cut small slits in my tapestry, but they're small and unnoticeable.

You can buy magnet 'tape' which has a peel-off side that allows you to stick it to something in order to hang something on metal (you could use glue if that's not strong enough). Just search " magnet tape " here on Amazon. Hope that helps.

I bought them for a small bedroom chair. Honestly, I would think the bed would be more secure with some sort of metal attachment or frame. Best of luck.EH

I just flipped the page on the calendar so it is funny you should ask! I suppose you could hang them from the ceiling but factor in the weight of the object being hung. For hanging plants I stick with the hangers meant for that although that means finding something other than gypsum board. I'm thinking it would work but not anything too heavy. I love these things because there are only tiny holes to be patched when painting, etc.

Not sure if you are asking if it can be used to connect from wood headboard to a metal headboard. Mine connects a queen sized metal bed frame that has flat metal pieces on the headboard end to a wood head board that has slots for the hooks of this piece to hook onto. The flat part of this item is bolted to the flat end of the queen metal bed frame., Hope that helps....

I used command hooks that have the metal movable hook that I bought at target and these worked perfectly for holding the weight without damaging my ceilling. Hope this helps!!

It depends upon how you wish to hang them. I actually used very small white Christmas strand lights and extended them throughout the outlining ceiling...(I hung them with very small hooks around the ceiling area and than extended them behind my daughters headboard...very pretty look). I would be very careful with the lighting you use since they are paper...with this look you only could use one strand for the two (depending how far apart they are), otherwise you may have to use two cords...depending on how you are thinking of utilizing them. Hope this helps...

I haven't tried any of them on metal, but I don't think it would work right. I'd stick with wood and vinyl.
