Picture Hanging: The most common use of D-ring hangers is in the framing industry. They are mounted on the back of picture frames and either used with picture-hanging wire or directly hung on nails or hooks. They allow easy, secure, and adjustable hanging for precise positioning.

Mirror Mounting: For larger or heavier mirrors, double-hole or heavy-duty D-ring hangers provide the strength needed to securely hold the weight. They are typically used in pairs, one on each side of the frame, ensuring even weight distribution.

Shelves and Wall Decor: Some shelves and decor items can be mounted using D-rings to keep them securely fastened to the wall. The D-ring offers a low-profile, discreet mounting solution.

Alternative to Sawtooth Hangers: In some cases, D-ring hangers are preferred over sawtooth hangers for heavier items because they offer more strength and stability.
