⚡ At a Glance
- • Standing Stability: Extended strut and 1.9mm MDF construction improve balance for heavier frames
- • Best for: DIYers and framers replacing damaged frame backs that need stronger support
- • Not ideal for: Frames with mouldings significantly narrower or wider than approximately 25mm
Brown MDF back and strut are 1.9mm thick and intended as a direct replacement part. Hidden press-fix hinge self-locks to a pre-set angle and allows the frame to stand either way.
Stable display - with longer strut for heavier pictures
Longer strut is positioned to support the frame in both portrait and landscape, while the back and strut use brown MDF at 1.9mm thickness for rigidity. The design places the strut so the stand supports either orientation.
Stronger standing support reduces the chance of tipping for larger framed pieces and keeps pictures presented neatly on shelves or mantels.
Accurate replacement - thanks to compatibility with approx 25mm mouldings
Manufactured to suit mouldings approximately 25mm wide, allowing close dimensional match with common frame profiles. Single-unit supply matches typical original part layout.
Swap a damaged back for a near-identical part to restore alignment and fit without altering the frame or glass.
Quick swap and secure angle - with hidden press-fix self-locking hinge
Hidden press-fix strut hinge self-locks to a pre-set angle, removing the need for additional fastening during setup. The hinge sits discreetly to preserve the frame's appearance.
Fast to install with a neat finish, the self-locking hinge holds the chosen angle reliably so framed items stay steady.
