Worked pretty well on the first try, some nervousness about measuring precisely to line up the slotted brackets on the back of the frame with the T screws (I used a French cleat on top instead of the smaller brackets that come with the kit, had a large, heavy mirror to hang in earthquake zone). Probably should have got the longer wrench, and it'd be nice if that was also slotted on both ends at reverse angles to allow tightening the T screw more than 1/4 turn easily. I had ******* them in with a wrench to approximately the right depth before hanging, and one of them then ******* down in a 1/4 turn so as to make the screw hold the bracket tightly, but the other one needed another half turn, which I found impossible to do with the short, one-sided wrench. Probably could have made a longer wrench out of scrap, but instead just put a wood shim behind the frame to hold it tight, won't even rattle in an earthquake (is the idea, we'll see :-).

I have been using these security hangers for at least 30 years and they they are well-designed. For the most part I have not been using them to hang pictures, but to install shelves and, most recently, a coat rack in such a way that they are strongly attached to the wall and no hardware shows. Measurements need to be fairly precise so the job might not go quickly but they are completely reliable and you can achieve a great look that might not be possible without these hangers. My order was processed quickly and the prices were very reasonable.
