Never moved in that time. Has it moved to go there? I don't think so. But the hanger does rock side to side if I make it. Which I shouldn't do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which I shouldn't do For screwing things to walls, I work on the principle that the screws are there to pull the things tight to the wall, if they're flush and being pulled against the wall it's the friction that stops them moving downwards. That's what screws are for, for pulling two surfaces tight to each other. I wouldn't use a guitar hanger that wasn't pulled flat to the wall with some nice tight screws. The last ones I put up werent' flat on the back so I sanded them down until they were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
