Warning!

Maximum recommended picture load is 7kg per 60cm track section spread over two Hanging Cables.

Prior to marking and drilling mounting holes, ensure no plumbing, electrical or other hazards exist in the wall where the

system will be mounted. It is recommended to consult a qualified tradesperson for advice.

If mounting system to plaster board (Gyprock) wall, the plaster must be in good condition and free of deterioration.

The installer must determine suitability based on inspection.

Only skilled and competent persons should attempt to install the picture hanging system. Personal protective

equipment such as safety glasses, dust mask, and ear muffs is recommended for using power and hand tools.

1x 60cm Track Set

Single System

Step 1. Mark out mounting positions

Handy tip: Mark cross location (+) with lines 10mm long to ensure visibility of hole markings remain

while drilling.

Horizontal: 2 hole positions evenly spaced about centre of track location, 400mm apart

Vertical: For standard ceiling heights featuring a cornice, it is recommended to offset hole positions no

closer than 20mm to the cornice. This will result in discreet mounting of the picture hanging system.

Step 2. Drill holes

Handy tip: Use a 75x125 wide sticky note to catch the drill debris while drilling.

Masonry wall:

Use a hammer drill with Ø3.5mm pilot masonry drill bit, approx. 40-50mm depth.

Increase to Ø5.5mm masonry drill bit, drill holes approximately 40-50mm depth.

Ensure holes are free of dust and debris, use vacuum for best results.

Plaster board (Gyprock) wall:

Pilot drill with approx. Ø4.0mm drill through the thickness of the plaster board, approx. 10-13mm.

Step 3. Insert wall plugs

Masonry wall:

Using a Ø5 punch, gently tap in plug until flush with wall,

tap approx. 1mm further into wall so the plug is not protruding.

Plaster board (Gyprock) wall:

Using a #2 Phillips screw driver, gently drive wall plug until flush with wall, drive approx. 1mm further

into wall so the plug is not protruding.

Step 4. Install Round Mount x2

Masonry wall:

Using electric driver on low torque setting, drive

supplied screws through mounts until firm against wall.

Plaster board (Gyprock) wall:

Using hand screw driver, gently drive supplied

screws through mounts until firm against wall.

Step 5. Assemble Track onto Mounts

Align mounting groove of track over mounts and attempt to push track onto mounts. If the track does

not push on easily, using a clean cloth to protect track, use soft hammer to gently tap track onto

mounts. The track should click into place.

Step 6. Assemble Adjustable Hook onto Hanging Cable.

Feed hanging cable through top of adjustable hook.

Compress top of hook to enable cable to feed through more easily.

Step 7. Assemble Hanging Cable into track from below.

Position hook in track and rotate into place.

Step 8. Attach D-rings to Picture Frame

Use manual Phillips screw driver to install 2x D-ring screws and 2x D-rings to each side of picture

frame, approximately 100mm from top edge. Apply light torque to ensure d-rings are secured to

frame.

Handy tip: While ensuring stability of the screw in the desired location, press firmly down onto screw

prior to twisting, to indent frame. The indent will enable the screw to locate during initial

engagement.

Step 9. Attach Foam wall buffers

At each bottom corner of the picture frame on the back face, place foam buffers approx. 2mm inset

from each edge.

Step 10. Hang picture on adjustable hooks

Hang picture on adjustable hooks, make adjustments as required. Coil up left over cable and tape

behind picture frame (or attach to existing feature). It is not recommended to cut the excess cable, as

this will limit your hanging layout options in the future.

Double System

The installation method for mounting two 60cm tracks connected together is generally the same as

the Single System. The main difference is use of the Joiner Mount, at the junction between the two

tracks.

Step 1. Mark out mounting positions

Handy tip: Mark cross location (+) with lines 10mm long to ensure visibility of hole markings remain

while drilling.

Horizontal: 3 hole positions evenly spaced about centre of track location, 500mm apart

Vertical: For standard ceiling heights featuring a cornice, it is recommended to offset hole positions no

closer than 20mm to the cornice. This will result in discreet mounting of the picture hanging system.

Steps 2. and 3.

Refer to Single System guide notes

Step 4. Install Round Mount x2 and Joiner Mount x1

The Joiner Mount is installed at the central location. Ensure this mount is orientated horizontally as

per diagram. Use a level to check if in doubt.

Masonry wall:

Using electric driver on low torque setting, drive

supplied screws through mounts until firm against wall.

Plaster board (Gyprock) wall:

Using hand screw driver, gently drive supplied

screws through mounts until firm against wall.

Step 5. Assemble Track onto Mounts

Remove Hanging track end caps from each end of the track pieces where the two will connect.

Align first track piece such that the track covers half of the Joiner Mount and one Round Mount.

Attempt to push track onto mounts. If the track does not push on easily, using a clean cloth to protect

track, use soft hammer to gently tap track onto mounts. The track should click into place.

Triple System

The installation method for mounting three 60cm tracks connected together is generally the same as

the Double System, with the addition of another Hanging Track section and another Joiner Mount.

Step 1. Mark out mounting positions

Handy tip: Mark cross location (+) with lines 10mm long to ensure visibility of hole markings remain

while drilling.

Horizontal: 4 hole positions spaced about centre of track location, offsets as per diagram.

Vertical: For standard ceiling heights featuring a cornice, it is recommended to offset hole positions no

closer than 20mm to the cornice. This will result in discreet mounting of the picture hanging system.

Steps 2. and 3.

Refer to Single System guide notes

Step 4. Install Round Mount x2 and Joiner Mount x2

The Joiner Mounts are installed at the intermediate locations. Ensure this mount is orientated

horizontally as per diagram. Use a level to check if in doubt.

Masonry wall:

Using electric driver on low torque setting, drive

supplied screws through mounts until firm against wall.

Plaster board (Gyprock) wall:

Using hand screw driver, gently drive supplied

screws through mounts until firm against wall.
