TRACK & SLIDE Heavy Duty LOCK Hook H70 2.5 mm 70 kg

The TRACK & SLIDE Heavy Duty LOCK Hook H70 is an ultra-secure, auto-locking gallery hanger engineered for suspending heavy framed artwork, commercial mirrors, and museum display panels. Manufactured from high-grade aluminium with a spring-loaded security safety latch, this hook prevents artwork from being easily dislodged, knocked off, or stolen in high-traffic public venues. Rated to hold up to 70 kg (150 lbs) on a single hook—or 140 kg (300 lbs) as a balanced pair—it pairs with 2.5 mm steel suspension cables for rapid, tool-free vertical adjustments across wall- and ceiling-mounted tracks.

Key System Benefits

Integrated Security Safety Latch — Features an anti-theft spring gate across the hook opening that encloses frame hanging wires and D-rings, preventing accidental dislodgement from bumps or opportunistic theft.

Instant Push-Button Height Adjustment — Precision internal auto-grip clutch allows effortless vertical adjustments along the wire with a simple press of the top release collar; release the collar to lock instantly under load.

Heavy-Duty 70 kg Load Rating — Robust aluminium barrel body safely carries up to 70 kg (150 lbs) per hook, or up to 140 kg (300 lbs) when using two hooks and drop cables for wide, heavyweight frames.

Engineered for 2.5 mm Steel Cables — Optimized internal bore specifically accommodates heavy-gauge 2.5 mm steel cables used across commercial and museum rail systems.
