Command Hook Hacks Instructions

How do you attach command wall hooks?

Here is the easy way to get started. Inside the command, hook packages are strips like this. The first step is to place the correct side to the back of the command hook itself. (The directions will be on the box, and generally, the part that goes on the back of the command hook is red.)

The other side of the command hook sticker says “wall” and this is the part you’ll stick to the wall.

You peel off the wall side and place it on the wall and press on it for about 30 seconds. Once it’s up, it is recommended not to hang anything on it for about 1 hour to allow adhesion time.

Why won’t my command hooks stick to the wall?

There are several reasons why Command Hooks don’t stick.

• Too much temperature fluctuation and constant temperature change can cause the sticker to lose its grip
• Too much weight, if an item is heavier than the allotted amount it will eventually fall off
• Wall is dirty
• Sticker won’t stick to powdery unfinished textures
