Frame
The enclosed wall mount anchors can be used
to mount your frames on drywall, plaster,
concrete, solid block, and brick.
1. Using a bubble level, make sure frame is
level on wall. With marker, mark a minimum
of two holes on each side of frame for your
screw locations.
2. Drill a pilot hole with 3/16” diameter drill bit;
insert and gently hammer in plastic anchors
into holes.
3. Place frame on wall over hole mounts and
screw in.
Mounting holes are in the channel on FlipUp
TM
frames and on inner flanges on Slide-In
TM
frames.
You may add different or additional holes for
your special mounting needs.

Graphic Thickness
We need to know the approx. thickness of graphic materials going into the frame.
Thus, we need to know whether you’re using a thin poster, or a thicker mounted graphic up to .250” maximum. We then cut
the frames to best fit your graphic thickness so that the frame sides close down on your graphic as nicely as possible, to
avoid big gaps at the miters.
You can order your frames by one of the 3 methods below.
You can order by whatever dimension or measuring method is most important to your
project.
Most popular is by “Graphic Size” –that is, the frame is made to hold your particular
size graphic. OD Size and Live Area are typically used if you’re printing your own
graphics. If you order this way, you must print/trim your graphic so that it matches the
Graphic Size shown for the OD Size or Live Area you’ve chosen.
The on-line quoting system will show ALL 3 measurements, regardless of how you
order the frames. So, make sure the other measurements are acceptable to you
before you place order, or contact us.
