Plasterboard fixings, or 3M Command hangers?

    Thinking of hanging a picture weighing 1.5 kg above our bed. Now I normally use Command 3M hooks (which can take up to 3.6kg) but want to be extra sure there (to avoid 1.5kg landing on our heads).

    Sure I go for a plasterboard fixing instead? Or maybe one _and_ 3M hooks (the frame hangs from a wire so I could use multiple fixings)

    P.

    Those 3M strips are grand, but you're effectively sticking them to the paint, not the wall.

    Better to go with the plasterboard fixings, for anything heavy.

    i have no faith in those 3m things. they will hold really light stuff but a colm says it is only sticking to the paint. i would only use a good plasterboard fixing
