We have a few similar to the Tackless system. They hold maps well, but if they are stuck on the wall with double sided tape they will fall off. You are better off with something that will screw into the wall.

Subject: experiences displaying maps on display rails? 

Good afternoon, 
We'd like to show off some of our new map acquisitions and are looking at some different display rail options. 

One option would be something like: http://www.demco.com/goto?BLS172159 where we'd hang binder clips from the hooks to hold the maps. 

Another option is the "tackless" style rail (something like http://www.demco.com/goto?BLS172155 ) which grabs the top of the map. 

We'd appreciate hearing any experiences using either of these systems, or others. 
Thanks! 
Susan
