Ceiling Master hook

kingofburt

Hi all, looking for some advice on here after finding no answers online. My folks have a chandelier, weighs about 15kg and has been hanging in their house for about 40 years with no issues. Until a few weeks ago! The ceiling hook snapped and the chandelier was hanging by the electical cable, luckily we got it down before it came crashing down.


My question is where can I get a hook that will fit the Ceiling Master connection? I have attached a few pics of what I need but I can't find anything online. Most hooks available are only rated to 5kg. Or what attachment should I use to replace the unit I have. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

They’re still available. Called “Maestro Ceiling Master” if you google around you’ll definitely find them. They max out at 15kg. Just make sure the chandelier isn’t more than that as it’s possible that’s why the hook eventually sheered.

For a very heavy chandelier you may need to install a separate mounting hook and ensure that it is securely anchored to the structure of the ceiling. Usually there would be a sturdy wooden block sitting across the beams in the attic spreading the load.

The wiring would then be done into a rose that is independent of the mount.

I know I’ve seen very heavy light fittings eventually pull down a part of a ceiling.

Thank you EdgeCase, brilliant advice and I have found a replacement. Far more diffcult than it should have been so I really appreciate you taking the time to send me in the right direction.
