Yes, they do! There are few things more frustrating than having to adjust or straighten your pictures on a daily basis. After spending so much time choosing and carefully hanging the perfect artwork on your walls, all you want is for it to consistently stay straight and look great. The answer to this common problem is our very own Anchor Points. All you have to do is stick them to the bottom corners of your frames and push the pins into the wall to anchor your frames. Your artwork will stay straight even when you’re dusting or when kids or teenagers are slamming doors!

This classic comic strip makes us laugh every time. Blondie is clearly hinting that Dagwood needs help with picture hanging, but he doesn't think there's anything wrong with his handiwork.
