I’m a stubborn New Englander. The only way to hang anything on the wall is to screw the hanger into a wood stud so that the hanger can withstand 10 times the weight of whatever you are hanging. That said, a prong hanger with a yardstick should be easy and light, not even needing a stud. I’ve got to start thinking more like a Floridian.
