Where do i start?
The Basics
Every wall hanging system consists of three primary elements:
1. The Rail or load bearing apparatus directly connected to the wall or ceiling
2. The cord, cable or bar which functions as the extension of the rail down the length of the wall, and
3. The hook or other fixture that connects the hanging system with the artwork.
1. The Rail
Choosing the right Rail - A Matter of Form and Function
Your choice of rail will depend on what matters most to you. All our rails are created to be discreet and practically invisible, but some are more discreet than others. If form is a matter of great importance then our Minirail® or our standard Cliprail system would be your choice as they are lightweight but are able to carry loads up to 55 lbs. per linear yard. However, if your need is to hang heavy artwork or work that requires anti theft devices then our J-Rail systems will handle that job quite nicely.

2. The Cords
Cords - Different lengths and different strengths for peace of mind
Our systems are dependent on the Stas Cords with the patented Cobrahead® technology. Each cord with the Cobra head was designed to allow you to place your artwork exactly where you want, when you want and how you want. There's no longer a need to feed all the cords at the start of a rail and move them over to the position desired. In fact, our cords allow you to add, subtract or rearrange any cord at anytime without laboring over small or large changes making the process of decorating your walls fast, simple and easy, truly giving you peace of mind.

3. The Hooks
Hooks - Connecting the artwork to the cords is where it all comes together
The final piece of our system that brings everything together. Our most popular hook, the Zipper®, can sustain weights up to 44 pounds when used with our galvanized steel cords. If weight is less of an issue then the smart but sturdy Smartspring can do just fine with those jobs that require no more than 8 lbs. per hook. If safety is an issue then choose our new theft deterrent Zipper Pro which not only has a weight capacity of 44 pounds but also locks into place your artwork. This is great for high traffic areas or where theft may be an issue. Choose the right combination of hook and cord that fits your specific needs.

Patented hooks for different weight capacities. Choose which one best fits your needs.
|
Zipper, Zipper PRO or Smartspring?
The Zipper is our most popular as can sustain weights of up to 44 lbs on our steel cables and 33 lbs when used with our Perlon cords. Our Smartspring was devised for lighter works of art and can only be used with our Perlon cords.
The new Zipper PRO was developed for those in need of extra protection. Once the frame is clicked into place it will stay in place even in the event of sudden jolts or harsh movements. Click
