Ryman Hanger - High Security Set

The Ryman Hanger is our most popular solution for hanging artworks and is used by an international body of galleries, large and small, such as the Tate galleries and MoMA.

Designed primarily to attach artworks tight to the wall with no visible fixings, they are easy to install, enable adjustment, and have a choice of three levels of security:

• Standard
• Secure
• High Security (this product)

 
Each of these are then available in three sizes (small, large or extended) that will handle artworks from the smallest etchings and watercolours right up to large flat backed works weighing up to 150 kg:

• Small Ryman set works well with lightweight works like etchings and small to medium sized watercolours. It is also useful for artworks where the timber framing is very narrow as the hanger is a mere 11mm wide. (Tested for weights up to 25kg)
• Large Ryman set works well for the vast majority of medium to large sized artworks. (Tested for weights up to 75kg)
• Extended Ryman set works well for large heavy works, often those with glazing, and where the additional screw fixing points ensures a robust fixing to the frame. (Tested for weights up to 150kg)

 
In addition to fixing works discreetly to the wall the Ryman can be used with any of Absolute's track or panel clip hanging systems. Or, when used in conjunction with our storage hooks, artworks can be hung on a wide range of screens and storage facilities.
 
Choosing your level of security:

Standard: For installations where security is not an issue your artworks can be installed using the Standard Ryman (art hanging plate only). This will provide all of the strength and adjustability of the Ryman without the added cost of security.

Secure: For installations where it is important to inhibit or prevent opportunistic theft we suggest you use the Secure Ryman Hanger set. These are supplied with Secure Spring Keepers which will prevent anyone from removing the artwork whilst the keepers are in place. It is difficult to remove the keepers without the individual bringing attention to their actions. This level of security is appropriate to the vast majority of artworks on display and is by far our most popular solution.

High Security: For the highest level of security we suggest our Ryman Hanger High Security set (this product). The High Security Spring Keeper is easily inserted which then 'locks' the artwork in place. The Security Spring Keeper can only be removed by using our Ryman Security Key. Each key is carefully numbered and it's owner listed.
 
Key Features of the Ryman Hanger:

• Ease of assembly
• Allows almost flush connection to the wall - 'Invisible' - cannot be seen when mounted
• Choice of sizes to suit artworks up to 150 kg
• Modular components - can work on its own attached directly to the wall, or in conjunction with our track systems, Panel Clips Hanging System or our storage hooks
• Available in 3 security levels (this product is the highest, then Secure, then Standard)
• Available in 3 sizes (small, large or extended) to suit the size and weight of your artworks

Over the last forty years that we’ve been working with artworks, there have been many instances, especially with older pieces, where the back of the frame is so riddled with holes as a result of different fittings being applied and removed that it is sometimes challenging to find a secure spot to fix to. It is with this in mind that we designed and built the Ryman Hanger as a system to cater for all the needs of an artwork throughout it’s lifespan with the goal that once fitted, it never needs to be removed. The Ryman can be used in conjunction with a cord, cable or rod (with a Ryman Barrel) or applied directly to the wall as in many of the international institutions we work with and finally as the only necessary connection when the artwork is hung on a storage screen.

The other advantages of the Ryman system is that it is preferred by conservators by the nature of it being stainless and therefore will not detrimentally impact the artwork, preferred by technicians because of the inbuilt adjustability and preferred by security consultants because it offers a choice of three levels of security from simple on the wall to highly secure that requires the use of a key to remove.

All that is required to use the Ryman Hanger are screws to suit your particular artwork. We recommend panhead screws as these provide a smooth clean finish, but if these are not available then countersunk screws will work. For Small Ryman Hangers you will require 3.5 mm diameter screws at a length to suit your artwork. For Large and Extended Ryman Hangers you will require 4 mm diameter screws at a length to suit your artwork.

Please note: You will need a Ryman Security Key if purchasing the a Ryman Hanger High Security Set for the first time. Without the key you will be unable to remove the Spring Keeper that secures the artwork. We are the only company to manufacture these and each one is carefully numbered and it's owner listed.

Included:

• 2x Plates
• 2x High Security Spring Keepers

Not included/You may also need:

• Ryman Security Key - You will need this if purchasing the a Ryman Hanger High Security Set for the first time.
