What is the best way to hang a heavy picture on a wall with no stud behind it?
Ksmail
If the wall is made of drywall/sheetrock/gypsum wallboard, use one or more screw anchors. This is a plastic cone that comes with a screw. You drill a hole, push in the plastic cone, and use a screw driver to thread the screw into the anchor. Typically the instructions are on the package of screw anchors. Larger anchors will hold more weight, but the size of screw anchor you can use is limited by the thickness of the drywall, so the thickness of the drywall limits the weight it will support. It might be possible to use multiple anchors, but that might require some calculation and planning. If the wall is not drywall but plaster and lathe, you can use a lag bolt. This is a long threaded rod with a spring-loaded folding wing-like thing that threads on the end. To use it you drill a hole large enough to accommodate the folded wing. Push it through the hole, and the wings expand and grip the inside of the wall. Turn the screw to pull it up tight. For a brick or stone wall, there are special masonry drill bits to drill a hole, and anchors of plastic or metal that go in the hole. These expand to grip the wall when a matching screw is driven in. If the wall is not too thick, you could use a lag bolt like above. For a wood wall, simple wood screws should work. For smooth tile or glass, consider any epoxy adhesive.

What is the Standard placement of a picture?
There is no one standard placement for a picture. The placement will depend on the type and size of the picture, and the relative position of the person looking at the picture. The general answer, is hang the picture so that the focal point of the picture is at eye level of the observer. In practice, this means, for example, if you have a large picture to put on a wall in a sitting room, where it will mostly be viewed by people sitting down, than hang the picture fairly low so that people don't have to look up to view the picture. It is a common mistake to hang pictures in sitting rooms at eye level of standing people (or even higher!). On the other hand, if a picture is to be located so that it is viewed by people standing, for example in a hallway, or in an art gallery, then hang the picture at eye level, again so that people don't have to look up or down to view the picture. Another factor which will influence the placement of a picture is whether the picture is to hang by itself or to relate to other pictures - there are a whole extra set of guidelines to be followed when hanging pictures together!
