  1. What is the best way to install the wall track perfectly level?   The cleanest way to install a wall track perfectly level is to mount it flush against the ceiling and follow the existing ceiling line, which hides the track and blends it into your décor. If you prefer a lower position, mark your pre-drill points with a standard or laser level before ...
  2. How do I install an AS Hanging track?   Installing an AS Hanging Display Systems track is straightforward for most do it yourself users. Every track ships with step by step instructions, and each product page includes installation videos for that specific profile, so you can follow along before and during the job. Built in or ...
  3. Can your hanging systems be used with an existing “picture rail” wood molding?   Yes. AS Hanging Display Systems hardware works with traditional picture rail wood molding, the horizontal trim found in many older homes, schools, and historic buildings constructed from the late 1800s to the early 1900s. You can hang from the existing molding without drilling new holes ...
  4. Are art hanging systems compatible with concrete or brick walls?   Yes. AS Hanging Display Systems are fully compatible with concrete and brick walls when you use the correct masonry anchors and drilling approach. In fact, masonry walls often make an excellent base for a permanent track installation because the substrate is dense, stable, and capable of ...
  5. Can I cut the track to size?   Yes, you can cut AS Hanging Display Systems tracks to size. All tracks are made from high-quality aluminum, a metal soft enough to cut cleanly with common tools. Use a hacksaw with a miter box, or a power miter saw fitted with a fine-tooth blade. After cutting, remove any burrs so the ...
  6. Is the hanging track suitable only for paintings, or can I also hang a whiteboard, clock, or mirror?   Yes. AS Hanging Display Systems tracks are built for far more than framed art. The same rail-and-hook setup that holds a painting will safely display a whiteboard, a wall clock, a mirror, quilts and textiles, seasonal decorations, and signage. If an object lacks its own hanging hardware, ...
  7. Can you mount a hanging system on a slanted ceiling?   Yes. You can mount an AS Hanging Display Systems track on a slanted, vaulted, or angled ceiling. The rail is fastened flush to the sloped surface while the cables or rods still hang straight down by gravity, so your artwork stays level and vertical, not tilted to the ceiling's angle. ...
  8. Do I need special tools to install a picture hanging rail? No. Installing an AS Hanging Display Systems picture rail is a straightforward DIY project that uses common household tools: a tape measure, a level, a drill, a screwdriver, and a pencil. Each track ships with the correct wall anchors and screws. Brick or concrete calls for a masonry bit, and ...
  9. Do you offer systems for suspending artwork from the ceiling?   Yes. AS Hanging Display Systems offers a full range of ceiling-suspended hanging solutions designed to display artwork, signage, panels, and other items without putting any holes in your walls. These systems use a discreet ceiling-mounted track or anchor combined with hanging cables or ...
  10. How far apart should three pictures be hung?   A good starting point for a set of three pictures is 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 cm) of space between frames. That range keeps the grouping connected enough to read as one display, while leaving enough breathing room that each piece still stands on its own. From there, adjust based on frame ...
