My only question about using magnets to secure frames to the walls... - RAMd®d - 05-29-2020

When the magnetic poles of the Earth switch positions, will all the pictures be upside down?

FWIW a simple drywall screw into the wall will provide enough strength and steel to hold it together. Don’t overthink but don’t under-engineer it.

Will be fine, as long as the magnet on the frame is perfectly centered.

And one isn't too bothered if it's not.

Two magnets on the frame, maybe 1.5" apart, a metal disc maybe 2" diameter (could be scaled down depending on the magnets' size and strength) screwed to the wall, and there is a range of adjustment as needed.

Or one mounting magnet and two shallow rubber feet on the bottom to hold a level position.

Looks like they only print from a set gallery of images, not custom prints. Thanks though!
