STAS Smartspring Hook- quantity packet (12)

Have used Stas for years love their picture rail products for the picture rail moulding we have in our old home

I use these hooks with Shades Perlon Loop Cord. The cord is 2mm in diameter, and the hooks grip it very well. The hooks are springs that you squeeze to align the holes. You then slip the hooks onto the cord and release at the desired point on the cord. The hooks' height can be readjusted simply by squeezing and sliding. Once released, the hooks dig into the cord a little, making it virtually impossible for the hooks to slide. Heavy pictures, mirrors, or the like may require two cords and hooks.These hooks do not work well with lighter cord, such as the Invisible Hanging Wire (made of nylon), avaialble on Amazon. The spring is too strong and distorts the wire, making the hook hang crooked. For lighter objects, use the Invisible Hanging Wire with Shades Micro Hooks.

works great in the gallery

I previously purchased a mini rail and love it. I purchased this pack of hangers and was pleasantly surprised to find a couple freebies inside (pen and stroopwafel)! Thank you, STAS!

Great for hanging lightweight artwork.

I wish they sold these in the hardware store. Love the system!

The flexible cord did not lay flat on the wall. I found that if I put 4-5 smaller paintings (9x12) on each cord, that weight was sufficient to keep the cord flat to the wall. I can make it work, was just expecting better materials to be used for the price.

Easy to use. Kind of expensive for what they are but I was looking for a lower profile hook for smaller artwork and these fit the bill.
