Identify the Top of Your Frame

Check frame orientation

Before installing the D rings, confirm which edge of the frame is the top. Correct orientation is essential for accurate hanging and alignment.

Espacio Gallery standard

D rings must be installed 8 cm from the top edge of the frame, following the Espacio Gallery hanging system specifications.

Identify the top of the frame

Measure 8 cm from the Top

Measuring 8 cm from the top of the frame

Measure carefully

Using a tape measure, measure 8 cm down from the top inner edge of the frame on both the left and right sides.

Mark both sides

Make a small pencil mark on each side of the frame. These marks will indicate where the D rings should be installed.

Ensure correct alignment

Check that both marks are level and evenly positioned. Accurate measurements ensure a straight and secure hang at Espacio Gallery.

Install the D Rings

Installing D rings on the frame

Position the D rings

Place each D ring directly over the 8 cm mark. Make sure the ring is centred on the frame width and facing upwards.

Secure with screws

Using a screwdriver or drill, fix the D rings firmly with the supplied screws. Ensure they are secure and do not move.

Final check

Confirm that both D rings are fixed at the same height and are fully secure. This prevents the artwork from hanging unevenly.

Recommended D Rings Supplier

Compatible with our hanging system

We recommend using standard D rings that are compatible with the Espacio Gallery hanging system. This ensures stability, safety and correct alignment when installing your artwork.
