Question:

How can I hang a framed pic on a metal door?

Does anyone know how to drill into a metal door? I am trying to hang a framed poser on my metal kitchen door. Thanks

Answer:

locate your key points and drill 1/8 holes through the sheet metal. Then you can install screws or eyes or hooks.
you could try the little hooks with the plasic/glue backing
you dont need to drill just get those little velcro dots that you can stick onto the door and the poster/painting and it will stick just find and no damage to your door.
Ok, here's what I do. Get some rare earth magnets (you can find them on the web). Get the 1 flat round type (very strong). Glue them to the back of the picture and stick to door. I use these magnets in my shop and to hang pictures on my shop's metal door. Works great.
I have to agree; don't paint the brick! You will be in a constant state of upkeep. Have the brick professionally pressure washed; that will brighten it up considerably. And have that area with the crack checked out; you could have a moisture problem going on there and that could lead to structural damage. I'd do the main part of the trim a light color (cream or a tan that's in the brick after it's washed?) but that piece that lies flat against the edge of the brick a richer color to give you some pop. Maybe pick up the door color along there? You have a dark roof and going too dark will make the house look unwelcoming. You could use a gray that has a brown/tan cast to it and leave the front door do the talking. I love doors painted a warm, brighter color! You could go with more of a rust or a pumpkin color, the current color is a bit blue to go with the brick properly. And adding some color in the landscaping will help a lot too. You have a lot of evergreens that are all the same shape in the hedge. You need some variety in heights, shapes and colors in there. While they are easy care, they are all one color and don't bring much variety to the party. Think some pretty planters at the door, a bit of metallic bling in the light fixture and so forth.
