Z-Clips

Definition

Z-Clips are heavy-duty aluminum cleats designed to attach to the back of oversized or heavy picture frames, panels, or art objects, providing a secure and level hanging system. They interlock with a corresponding wall-mounted cleat, ensuring stability and weight distribution.

Uses

• Hanging large or heavy picture frames safely and securely.
• Mounting panels, canvases, or artwork in galleries and exhibition spaces.
• Providing a clean, frameless appearance without visible hanging hardware.

Properties

• Made from durable, lightweight aluminum for strength and corrosion resistance.
• Supports heavy frames and reduces stress on the wall and frame corners.
• Enables precise leveling and easy removal or repositioning of artwork.

Installation Tips

• Ensure both wall and frame cleats are properly aligned for secure interlocking.
• Use appropriate wall anchors for heavy installations.
• Check that the cleats are level to avoid tilted hanging.
