Basically you drill a small hole inside the frame on the bottom portion, and
run a very small screw in there on each side of the bottom.  That
essentially replaces the old hooks, and is invisible if you do it right.
I've also had very good luck gluing the old hooks back on with CA
(superglue) if the surfaces are clean.
