Hanging items with keyhole hardware is just one of those things. Not unlike Stonehenge, crop circles, and the sunglasses your mother wore in the 1980s, they just don't seem to make any sense. But those who have worked in the construction and interior design industries can tell you, there's no better asset to hanging wall decor than keyhole hardware. Why? Because it holds stronger, is made for the long haul, and kind of has a reputation for being the workhorse of all wall hanging hardware.

Now, we know what you're thinking—the monster, the serial killer of dreams: the double keyhole hanging system. Shelves come with it, shadowboxes, spice racks, some framed artwork and mirrors, and the list goes on. We know there are people reading this right now who have literally walked away from a shelf, mirror, or other wall hanging they liked just because they looked at its backing and saw double keyholes. It's like finding out your sister has been dating your best friend—no thank you buddy, no thank you.

But all of that melts away when you learn how to use the YOUHANGIT wall hanging system—and by learning we mean having your eyeballs open for a period of roughly 15 seconds and allowing information to travel from your optic nerve to your brain, which you kind of don't have a choice over anyway, so...

Simply put, as you'll see in our videos, animation, the photos to the right, it's a simple matter of peeling off the YHI sticker, applying the YOUHANGIT over each individual keyhole, removing the red sharp, pointy-thing, level your shelf, mirror, or coveted spice rack with the YOULEVEL, squish that baby against the wall, and oula! Job well done. Never fear another keyhole again!
