  2. How are large tole trays hung on wall. I haven’t found anything to hold the weight.

  3. Hi Laura,

    I use plate hangers rated for large plates. If the tray is super extra large, a quick switch out of the springs will give greater extension. Home Depot or Ace Hardware have them in stock. I trust the plate hangers to hold the weight. Hope this helps!
