of repairing becomes that much harder, unlike drywall patching.
Therefore, has anyone used any type of adhesive hooks or other
products which has a decent hold strength and will not put holes in
the walls?
Thank you


Adhesives will do far more damage to the wall than a single nail.

If you really want to keep the wall pristine, do like art galleries do and
hang the picture from wires that go up to the ceiling.



Very good answer. Acturally most art galleries put up some
wood molding near the ceiling and it is shaped so they can just hang a
hook shaped hanger over the molding and suspend a wire under it to
hold the frames.
