ARTITEQ Click Rail Lock Hanging Set
The Click Rail Lock Hanging Set offers your picture hanging system increased security. Solid Slider Wires connect to the rail from either end of the system. It means it’s not possible to remove them easily. Micro and Auto Grip Lock Hooks are equipped with a clamp that prevents the artwork or picture from being lifted off the hook. That’s a perfect solution for small galleries, schools, and churches. In the home and office environment, this set-up prevents the artwork from falling off the wall (e.g. if accidentally knocked off) in narrow corridors, staircases etc.

The Click Rail
ARTITEQ Click Rail Art Hanging Set is available in 200cm length. ARTITEQ rails are made from durable aluminium and can be cut to size with a hack saw. End caps protect rail ends. End caps have a small gap in them for connecting wires. It means you can install the rail snugly wall to wall if needed. Please ensure you leave 5mm on each side for the end caps when cutting.
Four finishes
ARTITEQ Click Rail picture hanging system is available in 4 finishes: matt black, classic white, pure white, and brushed grey. The rail can be cut to size with a metal saw (~2 minutes per rail). The Click Rail takes up to 30kg of weight per meter. If you fit rails side by side, install one of the brackets behind where the two rails join. This will align them nicely on your wall. Other brackets should be fitted every ~40cm/8in. The installation involves drilling three holes per rail meter (6mm drill). There is no other DIY required after that is done.
Pure vs classic white
The pure white happily accepts most types of paint so that you can match its colour with your walls. You can also fit it as-is. It’s a bright shade of white.
The classic white finish is usually referred as off-white, warm shade of white.
Corner connectors
If you intend to install the Click Rail around corners, you will need to add Corner Connectors (not included in the set) to your order. They work as an inside and an outside connector. It is hardly visible when used as an inside connector as it is placed behind the rails. This connector allows you to slide wires around corners without disconnecting them. Available in white, black and grey.
Solid Slider Wire
The Solid Slider Hanging Wire easily hangs pictures and artwork on a wall. This wire connects to a rail by inserting it from either end. If the wire is too long, you can cut the excess with a sharp cutting tool or curl it behind your picture or artwork if you need it in the future. ARTITEQ Solid Slider Hanging Wire also provides an extra layer of security to your system as it can be removed only by sliding it off the end of your rail.
Auto Grip Lock Hook
The Auto Hook is made of steel, takes up to 15kg and can be used with 2mm perlon or steel wires. We recommend using two wires and two hooks to double the maximum weight for larger artwork. It is also possible to hang several pictures on a single wire. It all depends on the size of the wall and the pictures you are hanging. The Lock allows you to secure your frame so that it doesn’t accidentally slip off or isn’t removed from the system by not authorised persons.
Micro Grip Lock Hook
The Micro Grip hook represents the newest generation of hooks. A high-quality plastic reinforced with fibreglass leads to a 70% reduction in the use of materials compared with previous generations of this hook. It takes up to 20kg and can be used with 2mm perlon or steel wires. The Lock allows you to secure your frame so that it doesn’t accidentally slip off or isn’t removed from the system by not authorised persons.
