are you looking to get a new fixture? if you are then they sell fixtures with hanging kits included.if not just go to a local mass home improvement store (home depot fleet farm lowes) and get yourself 4 metal screw in hooks and 2 small link chains plug the hooks into the ceiling and old fixture, making sure not to hit any parts of course then hang the fixture be sure to measure properly and its easy as cake. good luck!!!

Would these be out of your desired price range ? They come with a hanging kit.
