Removing Picture Hooks
8 Answers
I`ve got quite a lot of these in my Mum`s house as I didn`t have much luck trying to get the pins for conventional picture hooks into the walls. Is there a good way of removing them without damaging the walls? They are stuck fast into the walls. http:// www.doo rfurnit uredire ct.co.u k/plast ic-hard wall-pi cture-h ooks-pa ck-of-4 .html?g clid=CN 3L17Xoj 8kCFecS wwod0-4 AcA

It'll bend pins and divert the pin's trajectory. Were you successful in getting it in, the brick would probably crack. You need to be lucky enough to find a mortar joint. Or use smaller pins and trust the plaster only depth (risky).
Yeah, pliers or mole grips, and lots of wriggling/pulling.
