Connecting Solutions for Various Ceilings
Drop Ceilings
Objects Under 10 lbs.
Anchor your sign, banner, or display to a “T” bar of your standard drop ceiling with either the E-Z Twist-On Metal Ceiling Clip or the Round Red ClikMagnet and our patented LoopLine cord.
You will need one connecting clip and a strip of LoopLine for each attachment point on your object. Make sure each strip of LoopLine has the same number of loops so the sign, banner, or display will hang level.
Signs usually only require two connection points. However, more may be necessary for longer or thicker material. If your sign material is thin and bows when hung take a look at our guard toppers at the bottom of this page.
• Connect one strip of LoopLine to a Metal Ceiling Clip or ClikMagnet
– Insert one end of LoopLine through the hole in the Ceiling Clip
– Feed the other end through the first loop and pull tight to secure the connection

Drop Ceilings
With Recessed T-Bar
Use our strong Round Red ClikMagnets to anchor the object to a drop ceiling T-Bar that is recessed into the ceiling panels; typically called a Reveal Ceiling Tile. The Round ClikMagnet fits onto the T-bar without damaging the ceiling tile.
Our ClikMagnet is made from rare-earth neodymium material and will not lose its magnetism. The Round Red ClikMagnet has up to a 20 lb. magnetic pull.
Depending on the length of the sign, banner, or display, you will need at least two ClikMagnets in order to spread the weight of the object among several connection points.
Connect the ClikMagnet to your sign, banner, or display with our easy to use LoopLine cord which is available in clear, white or black in 328 ft. or 82 ft. spools and has a tensile strength of 25 lbs.
LoopLine cuts with scissors. Simply count out the same number of loops for each cord. Connect the cord to the ceiling clip and then the sign, banner, or display by looping the line back through itself. Use this link to learn more about using LoopLine.

Anchoring to a Finished Ceiling
For finished drywall or wood ceilings, an eye-screw is the best anchor for your sign, banner, or display. Consult your favorite hardware store for the correct size eye-screw and anchor, if needed, for your project. Base your choice of hardware on the weight of what you are hanging.
For lighter-weight object, use our LoopLine cord. See products »
For heavier objects, use crimped Steel Cable and UrbanTrapeze cable clamp to connect the barrier to the eye-screw. See products »

Add Toppers to Stabilize the Object
Dress-up the appearance and increase the stability of your sign, banner or ceiling display with our E-Z Elliptical Aluminum Banner Hanging System. Adding a top and bottom rail stabilizes the display especially for signs and banners made from thin, flexible material. The rails keep signs from bowing or curling and provide a quality, upscale appearance, along with connection points for attaching to the ceiling. You will find a wide variety of attaching hardware on this page, including LoopLine™ cord and ClikMagnets™.
