Quelle est la différence entre un crochet autobloquant et un crochet à vis ?

Le crochet à vis (économique) se serre manuellement et supporte environ 4kg. Le crochet autobloquant (confort) se règle par simple pression et supporte des charges beaucoup plus lourdes (jusqu'à 20kg) en toute sécurité.

Comment savoir si le fil est compatible avec mon rail ?

Si vous avez un rail Artiteq ou Newly récent, choisissez les fils avec embout 'Twister' 2mm. Ils sont universels pour ces marques et s'insèrent n'importe où dans le rail.

Quel poids maximum pour un fil perlon ?

Un fil perlon (nylon) de 2mm associé à un bon crochet peut supporter jusqu'à 20kg. Au-delà, ou pour plus de sécurité dans les lieux publics, nous recommandons le câble acier.

À quoi servent les embouts de finition ?

Les embouts (End Caps) sont des petits caches en plastique de la couleur du rail. Ils se clipsent aux extrémités pour masquer la coupe de l'aluminium et donner un aspect fini et soigné.

Peut-on acheter des crochets seuls ?

Oui, tous nos accessoires (crochets, fils, clips, embouts) sont vendus au détail. C'est idéal pour compléter une installation existante si vous ajoutez de nouveaux tableaux.

❓ Buying Guide & Tips: Choosing the Right Picture Rail

Accessories for Picture Rails: Hooks, Wires & Spare Parts

The rail is just the visible part of the iceberg. For a successful and secure installation, the choice of accessories is crucial. Find here all the official components. Artiteq I'm sorry, but "et" does not have a specific meaning on its own in French. It is a conjunction that means "and" when used to connect words or sentences. If you provide more context or text, I would be happy to help with the translation. Newly : invisible nylon threads, sturdy steel cables, self-locking hooks, and finishing caps. Everything you need to complete or extend your existing setup.

Which hook to choose: Screw-in or Self-locking ?

It's a question of comfort and weight:

? ? Screw hook (e.g. Mini Hook): Economical. It is tightened manually with a screw on the side. Ideal for light frames (up to 4kg) that are not moved frequently.
? ? Auto-locking crochet (e.g. Palmetti / Micro Grip): The height of comfort. Press to slide, release to lock. Supports heavy loads (15kg to 20kg).

Nylon thread or Steel cable ?

Perlon (Transparent nylon): Almost invisible on a light wall. This is the standard for decoration (Max load 20kg).
Steel (Braided Metal): More visible (industrial look), but unbreakable. Recommended for public places or very heavy artwork (Maximum load of 20kg or more depending on the model).

What is a "Twister" tip ?

This is not a complete sentence. Could you please provide more context or complete the sentence so I can provide an accurate translation for you? Twister is the fastening head of the wire that goes into the rail. It is the most convenient system: unlike the "Solid" end caps that need to be inserted from the end of the rail, the Twister inserts anywhere in the groove. You insert it, turn it a quarter of a turn, and it's secured !

End pieces and fittings: What are they used for ?

For a perfect finish:

? ? End Caps: They position themselves at the ends of the rail to hide the cut of the aluminum.
? ? Connectors: Essential for perfectly aligning two rails end to end without any offset.

Can I use these accessories on an old picture rail ?

Most modern rails (Artiteq Click Rail, Top Rail, Newly R10/R20) use a 2mm opening standard. Therefore, our Twister 2mm wires and hooks are compatible with the vast majority of hanging rail systems available on the market.
