Ratchet Hook for 2mm Picture Hanging Wires 15 kg (33 lbs)

The Ratchet Picture Hook is an auto-locking, heavy-duty picture hook designed for 2 mm perlon cords and stainless steel cable wire gallery systems. Featuring an intuitive press-and-release mechanism, this solid aluminium hook allows instant, tool-free height adjustments along your hanging wire while securely supporting heavy frames, mirrors, and exhibition canvases.

Key System Benefits

Self-Locking Auto-Ratchet Mechanism — Adjusting artwork height takes seconds without screwdrivers or manual thumb-screws. Simply press the spring-loaded top button to glide the hook smoothly along any 2 mm cable, then release to lock it instantly in place.

Heavy-Duty 15 kg to 30 kg Load Support — Engineered from durable anodised aluminium with a robust 11.5 mm barrel body, a single hook safely holds up to 15 kg. Pair two hooks on separate drop wires to support large canvases and heavy glass-fronted frames up to 30 kg.

Universal Hardware Compatibility — Featuring an 18.5 mm depth projection and a 3.5 mm hook lip opening, this hook seamlessly accepts picture hanging wire, D-rings, saw-tooth brackets, and gallery frame hangers.
