Slope Rail Stopper

Slope Rail Stopper – Stop Wires Sliding on Angled Picture Rails

Installing a picture rail on a slope can look brilliant on a stairwell or raked ceiling wall.
But gravity has opinions, and hanging wires can slowly slide down to the lowest point.
The ArtiTeq Slope Rail Stopper locks into the rail channel and keeps each wire exactly where you set it.

At a glance

• Stops wire movement on sloped rails – no drifting downhill
• Locks into the rail with an Allen key – secure and adjustable
• Ideal for stairwells and raked ceilings – clean, stable hanging points

The simple fix: a stopper that locks into place

This stopper is designed for angled installs where you want the rail to follow the architecture, without the wires migrating down the slope.
Slide the stopper into the picture rail, position it just below the hanging wire, then tighten the internal screw with a hex (Allen) key.
It grips the inside channel of the rail so the wire stays put.

How it works

Step 1: Slide the stopper into the rail

Insert the stopper from the end of the rail (remove the end cap first if needed), then slide it along inside the channel.

Step 2: Position it under the hanging wire

Place the stopper directly below the wire’s slider point so the wire cannot migrate down the slope.

Step 3: Tighten with an Allen key

Tighten the inner screw so the stopper locks into the rail channel.
To reposition later, loosen, slide, and tighten again.

Where this is used

• Stairwells
• Raked ceilings
• Slanted feature walls
• Any angled picture rail install where you want fixed hanging points

Compatibility notes

• Can be used with Solid Slider or Twister
• The stopper prevents sideways movement on the slope. It does not increase the weight rating of your rail, wires, or hooks.

How many do I need?

Use 1 stopper per hanging wire position.
For two artworks on a sloped rail, you will typically use two stoppers (one below each wire).
