How to Install QuickHang
™
Hooks and Brackets
FOR RESIDENTIAL USE: The QuickHang
™
hardware is designed to work with solid wood and
engineered wood joists in residential drop ceiling applications. Use with metal ceiling grid.
SAFETY TIPS:
• QuickHang hardware is designed to support ceiling and grid components only.
• Make sure your work area is clear of obstructions and that your ladder is stable.
• Do not cut the pre-bent hooks. If the hook needs to be shortened due to an obstruction, the top portion
can be bent by hand or with pliers.
INSTALLING THE HARDWARE:
Main Beams should be spaced 4' apart and QuickHang Hardware no further than 4' apart.
STEP 1: Make a 1" long vertical mark up the side of each joist where a bracket will be located (A).
Tip: Measure and mark your joists prior to installation. Use a string line or chalk line to align
marks perpendicular to joists across the room.
STEP 2: Use the center hole in the brackets to line the brackets up with your marks (B).
STEP 3: Hammer in the 2 tabs for a temporary hold (C).
STEP 4: Nail the bracket to the joist through the two openings above the hammer tabs with the nails
included in the kit (D).
Optional: You can also use a single #5 Wood Screw through the center hole. (sold separately)
STEP 5: With the bracket securely attached to the joist, insert the grid hook using the diamond-shaped
holes in the brackets. Thread the small end of the hook, from the back, through the lower hole
(E). Push the hook up and rotate to thread through the upper hole, squeezing the spring tabs
to allow the wire to go through (F).
STEP 6: Turn all hooks in the same direction, parallel to joists. Set all hooks to about the same height.
STEP 7: Install grid main beams on hooks (G), and install the remaining grid components throughout the
room. Adjustments and leveling of your grid system can be done by squeezing the spring tabs and
lifting or lowering the hook (H).
