A4 Table-top snap frame - silver or black

The Opti frame with support stand

This dual use snap frame is ideal A4 snap frame when you're not sure how the frame will be used - e.g. for sending out approved dealer certificates, which could be wall-hung or stood on the sales counter.

• The image shows how the folding support strut is slotted into grooves provided in the back panel and engaged to lock into place.
• When not required the support strut folds away neatly into the recessed back of the frame.
• Repositioning the leg to change orientation of the frame from landscape to portrait (and vice versa) is accomplished with ease in a few seconds.

Hang Opti frames on a picture hook

• 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.

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.
