ARTITEQ Auto Grip LOCK Hook for 2 mm Picture Hanging Wire 15 kg (33 lbs)

The ARTITEQ Auto Grip LOCK Hook is an auto-locking, anti-theft picture hook engineered to keep valuable artwork securely locked to your picture hanging system. Designed with an integrated spring security latch and a compact 12 mm cylindrical aluminium body, this premium self-gripping hook allows instant, tool-free height adjustments along 2 mm hanging wires while providing absolute protection against accidental knocks, earthquake displacement, or intentional theft in public and gallery spaces.

The Auto Grip LOCK Hook

Integrated Anti-Theft Security Latch — Features a spring-loaded safety latch across the 4.5 mm hook opening that physically locks frame hardware in place. Ideal for public exhibitions, hotels, schools, and busy homes to prevent pictures from being bumped, dislodged, or stolen.

Tool-Free Auto-Grip Adjustment — Fine-tuning artwork height takes seconds without screwdrivers or manual thumb-screws. Simply press the top pin to glide the hook smoothly along any 2 mm wire, then release to engage the heavy-duty internal cable lock instantly.

Engineered Aluminium Construction — Crafted from high-grade anodised aluminium into a compact 12 mm diameter × 20 mm depth profile, delivering commercial-grade security without adding bulky, unattractive hardware behind your frames.

Heavy-Duty 15 kg to 30 kg Protection — A single hook safely supports up to 15 kg (33 lbs). When paired across two drop wires for wide or heavy frames, the system supports up to 30 kg while guaranteeing frame stability.
