lol Foggy, in this case you might be right ;) The walls here are solid as a rock and putting up pictures is a nighmare, so as to make no new holes I'm using the ones alrready made by the owner and probably the pins are just too short.

I've consulted my Book of Handy Hints for the DIY Novice and I've found an answer for you, Rose.

If your pins are too short to reach the holes - try standing on a ladder.

(if you need the handy diagram of a ladder, I can send it to you)

D'oh Rose - if you have solid walls, fill in the previous holes and make your own to the side!
If you're using picture hanging nails, put them in at an angle \ similar to that!
