Yes. AS Hanging Display Systems offers Sample Kits so you can handle the finishes and hardware before committing to a full order. Samples are requested by phone at 866 935 6949, which also lets our team match the kit contents to the system and finish you are actually considering.
Why request samples before ordering a hanging system?
Finishes photograph differently than they look on a wall. Anodized aluminum, white, and black each read differently under warm lighting, daylight, and the LED spots common in galleries and retail, and a rail that disappears against one wall color can stand out sharply against another. Holding the actual extrusion against your paint or trim answers that in seconds. Samples also let you feel how a hook engages and how a cable moves, which is the part customers most often say photos did not convey.
- Check the rail finish against your wall color, trim, and ceiling under the lighting the space actually uses.
- Confirm the hook style suits your frames, including any with unusually thick or thin backing.
- Show the physical hardware to a client, committee, or facilities lead who has to approve the spec.
- Compare cable and rod options side by side rather than from spec sheets.
Who usually asks for a Sample Kit?
Architects, interior designers, and specifiers request them most, because a submittal or a client presentation usually needs a physical piece rather than a rendering. Facility managers and school or museum teams ask when a purchase has to clear an approval process. Homeowners planning a single wall often skip samples and go straight to a small order instead, since the practical difference at that scale is minor. If you are pricing a larger project, it is worth pairing your sample request with a request a quote submission so the pricing and the physical samples arrive together.
How do you request samples?
Call 866 935 6949 and tell our team which system you are evaluating, the finishes you are choosing between, and roughly what the project involves. That context matters, because a kit assembled for someone comparing rail finishes looks different from one assembled for someone deciding between cable and rod. If you have questions about what a kit includes or how it ships, ask when you call and the team will confirm the current details.
What if you would rather just try the system?
For smaller projects, ordering a short run is often faster and more informative than waiting on samples. Our starter kits include a length of track with the cables and hooks matched to it, so you can install a working section on a real wall and see how it performs before scaling up. If it turns out to be the wrong choice, check our shipping and returns page for the current return window and conditions.
