Smart Helix

Gadget Help Hanging Frames

Hanging frames can be frustrating: to get it straight, you keep adjusting the nails, leaving the wall full of holes, yet the frame is still crooked. Smart Helix makes it simple. Just drill two arbitrary holes, adjust the angle of Smart Helix, and the frame will shift naturally with the updated support point. You can tweak it repeatedly until perfectly aligned, without ever worrying about nail placement again.

Smooth Adjustment · Steady Support

Smart Helix is essentially an involute cam with a unique property — a constant lever arm. No matter where it contacts the frame, the perpendicular distance from the force to the axis remains at the same minimum value. This means that, whatever angle you adjust to, Smart Helix will always provide reliable support for your frame.
