Question: I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction. I need to by a threaded screw collar for a 200+ lb chandelier. Went to hang a chandelier with an Aladdin lift ALL200 and the chandelier (metric) did not come with a screw collar. I tried the lighting stores in the area and they don't supply them. I checked out chandelierparts.com and they have them. However, I called and they said for liability reasons their distributers wont give weight limits on their screw collars. Does anyone know a good place online to order them. Or has anyone used a heavy cast screw collar from chandelierparts.com on a 200+ lb chandelier? Thanks

Note
When ordering from any of these stores, be sure to check the weight capacity of the specific screw collar before purchasing.
Regarding ChandelierParts.com

Recommendations
Contact the chandelier manufacturer
They may be able to provide a screw collar that is specifically designed for your chandelier.
Consider a custom solution
A local machine shop may be able to create a custom screw collar to meet your weight requirements.
Purchase multiple screw collars and use them together
This can distribute the weight more evenly and increase overall support.
Always test the screw collar: Before hanging the chandelier, ensure that the screw collar is securely attached and can support the weight. Flag for review
