Description

Brick Clip® Fasteners allow pictures or other items to be hung on a brick wall without drilling holes into the wall. They snap onto the front face of a brick, holding on at the top edge with serrated teeth and at the bottom edge with built-in spring-metal arms.

Please note that this product is only suitable for use on brick walls with recessed ("raked") mortar joints, where at least 1/4" of each brick protrudes outward beyond the mortar joints. Brick Clip® Fasteners cannot be used on brick walls where the mortar in the mortar joints is even (flush) with the brick face.

The Brick Clip® fastener will fit bricks that are 2 1/8 inch to 2 1/2 inch tall on the face where the clip snaps around. The gap on the backside is 2 1/4" between the upper teeth and the bottom spring, plus about 1/4" of "give" on the spring. Measure the height of your bricks before ordering.

The weight limit for this product is specified by the manufacturer at 25 lbs. We recommend using two Brick Clip® Fasteners for hanging anything approaching the upper end of this weight limit.

Instructions

1. Use only on brick walls with "raked" mortar joints, where the front face of the bricks extends at least 1/4" out beyond the mortar joints.
2. Snap the Brick Clip® Fastener onto a brick by first placing the lower spring arms up against the bottom edge of the brick, then pushing the clip simultaneously upward and in until the upper teeth clamp down on the top edge of the brick.
3. If you need to use a screwdriver or other tool for additional leverage, be careful not to damage the brick.
4. Make sure that the back side of the clip is firmly seated against the face of the brick.
5. Use either of the two built-in hooks on the clip for hanging.
6. When hanging heavier items, use two Brick Clip® Fasteners for added safety.
