How to Find a Door Clip to Hang Signs on
A door clip is a small piece of equipment that lets you hang something like a sign to the front or back of a door in your home. Which kind of clip you buy will depend on exactly what it is you're hanging. Certain clips are designed for specific functions, so the clip that you use to hang a poster may not necessarily be the clip you would use to hang a framed sign.

Examine the surface of your door to determine what type of door clip you should buy. Some door clips stick on with an adhesive, while others clip on to the top part of the door and hang down. If your door is painted or has some kind of finish or varnish on it, you don't want to use a door clip with adhesive because you risk damaging the door if you ever need to remove the sign and clip.

Look at the back of your sign to determine what type of clip you need. If your sign is framed, the frame itself will have a small latch that is placed on the clip when hanging. The type of latch on the back of the sign will determine what shape of door clip you need to buy. If the sign itself is made of wood or some other type of hard material, you may have no choice but to use an adhesive clip.
