Defeat the key hole slots! Unlock the secret to easily hang items with keyholes.

I can't stand key holes but they do come in handy as a mounting option for some items. Just grab a couple screws, your tape, a marker, and a pointy object to effectively put the screws in the right spot every time.

Thanks for watching. Please leave comments/questions below.

PS. I cannot recommend the bone heads at reddit's diy section as they deemed this project too elementary for their sub reddit. Cause gatekeeping simple tips and tricks is good for a forum. Thanks reddit.

Thank you for saving me from a ton of frustration.

those I just snap off the plastic piece with the keyhole and use it to mark the wall

Someone needs to design screws specific for this purpose

What about a painting that has 4 keyholes

Great tip. I have found this works perfectly. I have also placed the item on my printer and made a copy of it. Tape that to wherever you want to hang the item (usually smaller ones) and there you go.

I’m using a suction cup that can fit into the keyholes since i’m lazy AF to drill 😂

Great tip in general, but it doesn't solve the major problem of actually getting your item centered, especially if there is a longer sliding area.

I tried to put keyhole screws in the dog to regain some valuable floor space, but he was really unfond of the idea. Great tip, thanks! Dog seems to have left the room..
