Slatwall Straight Arm
This slatwall straight arm has square holes punched along the full arm length — the same modern profile and finishes as the rest of the modern accessories in this collection. Mount it to any standard slatwall groove. Insert pegboard-compatible hooks into the square holes at any position along the arm. The result is a hangbar-style display directly on the slatwall without a separate hangbar. Available in chrome and silver frost. Orders of modern accessories under $100 are subject to a $15 small order fee.

What Are Square Holes on a Slatwall Arm Used For?
A standard straight arm holds items at the tip only. The square holes on this slatwall straight arm change that completely. Each hole accepts a pegboard-compatible square-shank wire hook. Load hooks at every hole position and the arm holds multiple packaged goods simultaneously along its entire length. That turns one slatwall groove into a multi-product display point — the same capacity that a full hangbar system delivers, without the hangbar hardware.
Retailers who sell small packaged goods, accessories, and hanging products alongside garments use this arm to cover both display types from one groove position. Garments hang from a hanger at the arm tip. Small packaged goods hang from wire hooks inserted into the square holes. One arm, two display functions, one groove.
Straight Arm vs L Shape Arm: What Is the Difference?
Both arms in the modern accessories collection use square holes. The L shape arm bends at the slatwall connection — the arm projects forward and slightly downward from the wall. This straight arm runs parallel to the floor from the wall connection to the tip. The practical difference is in how garments hang. A straight arm holds garments horizontally at a consistent height from tip to mount. An L shape arm angles slightly, which some retailers prefer for garment presentation. Both accept the same pegboard-compatible hooks in the square holes.
Choose the straight arm when a clean horizontal display line is the priority. Choose the L shape arm when a slight forward angle suits the garment category on display. For more on slatwall faceout selection in retail, see the Wikipedia overview on visual merchandising.
Frequently Asked Questions
What hooks fit the square holes on this slatwall straight arm?
Pegboard-compatible square-shank wire hooks fit the square holes. These are the same hooks used on standard pegboard display panels sold at most retail hardware and display suppliers across the US. The square shank shape is the key — round peg hooks do not fit square holes. Confirm the shank shape on any hooks already in use before ordering to make sure they match the square hole format on this arm.
Can I hang clothes on this arm the same way I would on a regular faceout?
Yes. The arm tip functions the same as any standard straight faceout — slide garments on standard hangers from the tip. The square holes along the arm body are for additional pegboard-style hooks. Using both at the same time is possible — garments at the tip on hangers, packaged accessories on hooks through the holes along the body.
Does this arm fit my existing slatwall panels?
This arm fits any standard slatwall panel using the industry-standard 3" on-center groove spacing — the most common groove format in US retail slatwall panels. If the slatwall was purchased from a standard US supplier, it almost certainly uses 3" groove spacing. Confirm before ordering only if the slatwall came from a non-standard source.
What is the silver frost finish?
Silver frost is a brushed metallic finish — lower sheen than standard chrome. It reads as a softer, quieter metallic that suits stores where standard chrome looks too bright against the surrounding fixtures. Both chrome and silver frost are available from the dropdown on this product.
