Hang Opti frames on a picture hook

• Smaller Opti snap frames up to and including A3 size can be hung on a single picture pin nailed into the wall.
• The back of the frame provides this facility whether the frame is to be mounted portrait or landscape 
• Hanging a snap frame on a picture hook, nail or tack only requires a hammer. 
• Picture hooksand tacks are not supplied. They are available from hardware stores.

Fix Opti frames using screws

• The usual way to permanently fix Opti frames is with screws.
• Screws and plastic wall plugs are included with every snap frame we supply
• The wall plugs are for use with masonry walls such as brick and most plastered walls 
• When screwing onto wood the plugs are not needed 
• A drill and screwdriver are required for screw fixing (and we recommend using a spirit level and tape measure to ensure the frames are properly aligned). If in doubt please consult a proficient DIY or trades person.

Fix Opti frames using adhesive tape

• Rolls of double-side adhesive tape are available as an accessory item.
• If double-side adhesive tape is used to fix frames (in place of the screws supplied) please check the smoothness and suitability of the wall.
• Tiles and similar surfaces may be suitable provided they are cleaned thoroughly before application.
• Tape fixing is not suitable for surfaces with a non-stick coating or porous/foamed surfaces. 
• We recommend that tape is used around the full perimeter of the frame.
• Larger frames are normally best screwed. A residue of foam tape will be left on the wall or door after removal of the frame and the frame will usually be hard to get off.
