Steve - EASY.

Go to a good hardware store - maybe a lumber yard.

RAYFIX International - MF Midwest Fasteners Corp -

ULTIMATE Wall Anchor I have a box of XL 100 pound units.
Box is clear plastic - with a RED tape ad cover that has Rayfix in the upper left...
part number 11209 if that helps. $6 for 8 anchors and 8 screws.

Works in 5/8 to 1" drywall. Fireproof Drywall also.

Find the point to have the hanger - hammer in a flat looking wedge.
Screw in a metal screw into it. It spreads and then you have - using
that screw - a 100# hanging point. They make 60#s as well (I use them mostly).

Use one, two or as needed. The screw is what holds up the work - spreading
flaps in the wall keep the screw from pulling out of the wall.

My local hardware ordered some for me - my box was almost empty - and they
got them in 2 days.

Only a hammer and a screw driver is needed. No drills.....

HI Group;

Need the groups expertise... my wife's company just moved into a brand
spanking new building. Now, she wants to hang three signs from each of her
previous buildings inside her new "rivate" conference room. (her company
keeps growing and growing and growing....)

The heaviest sign weighs about 50 pounds... the other is about 20 pounds and
the last one (her very first sign) is only about 10 pounds.

The walls are standard, commercial metal studs with 5/8" drywall.

I can find the studs... what is hte best hanger or fastener for fastening to
the metal studs to carry this kind of weight?

Thanks in advance...
