How to Hang a Wall Clock Without Nails or Drilling

You can hang a wall clock without nails or drilling by using removable adhesive strips or hooks for lighter clocks, a picture rail and hanging wire in period homes, existing fixings already in the wall, or by standing the clock on a shelf, mantelpiece or console table instead. The right method depends on two things: how heavy the clock is and what your wall is made of. In this guide we explain how to weigh your clock properly, which wall finishes suit adhesive products and which do not, and how to prepare the surface so the strips hold firmly. We walk through each method in turn, with clear steps for fitting and safe removal, so renters and anyone wary of power tools can display a clock with confidence. We also cover the mistakes that cause clocks to fall, how to keep a leaning clock secure, and how to style the wall so it looks finished rather than temporary....
