Step 6: Insert Spring Clips
Step 7: Attach Wire & Bumpons
Step 8: Enjoy Your Picture!
NOTE: Removing Spring Clips
Insert the spring clips between the underside of the
Hardware Channel and the backing board of your “art
sandwich”. The spring clips should be spaced several
inches apart with the curved sides up, toward the un-
derside of the Hardware Channel. When disassem-
bling the frame be sure to remove these spring
clips first. See NOTE further below.
Install the wire attachments by tilting them so the screw
end slips under the outside edge of the Hardware
Channel. If they do not drop in easily, try loosening the
screws. Measure to position them evenly about 1/3 to
1/4 the length from the top. Tighten the screws. Loop
the wire through the hole twice then wrap the end of the
wire around the line while pulling it taught. Repeat for
the opposite side. Remove the bumpon wall protectors
from their paper backings and adhere them to the two
bottom corners of your frame.
Framed artwork can
give years of enjoy-
ment. Keep in mind
that art can be sensi-
tive to light and atmos-
pheric conditions. We
recommend using
acid-free and lignin-
free matting and UV
protective glass or
acrylic to help protect
your art from fading
and discoloration. "We
can upgrade any of
our frames to include such protection. Also, note that
even with the use of UV glass, valuable art should
never be hung in the path of direct sunlight, on moist
outside walls, or on walls that change temperature
throughout the day. For more details about proper care
of your artwork, please visit our web site:

Before a metal frame can be disassembled the
spring clips must be extracted. Reach under the
Hardware Channel with needlenose pliers and care-
fully pull them out. Caution is advised because the
spring clips can pop-up suddenly. Once all spring clips
have been removed, the expansion screws can be
loosened on both corners of a long side, the side
slipped off and the “art sandwich” removed.
