It's home, but heavy enough that I don't trust myself to hang it up on my own. Probably going to just hire someone this weekend to mount it professionally so I don't end up doing it wrong and ripping a big hole in my wall.
How much does the frame weigh? I used a 50lb mount (two nails) for my 36x24 frame. It had some nice weight to it but not excessively heavy. But that depends on the type of frame you got. A 54x36" frame not only is more than twice as much surface area, but would likely need a heavy frame and possibly wood backing to prevent flexing.
And if you matted it (I did not matte mine), of course the frame is even larger. They also sell a 100lb mount (three nails) and a 30lb mount (one nail) but I would not trust anything weighing near 100 pounds on a nail in sheet rock, regardless of what the mount bracket claims it will support.
Some stuff you really need to drill into the 2x4 behind the sheet rock, and for that you'd likely want to call a contractor.
