Your picture frame will look like this from the rear. Hanging fixtures will be attached to the back of the frame in a bag(fixtures may be grouped together for multiple frames.

To gain access to the inside of the frame you can use a small screw driver to bend back the flexible tabs - you do not need to remove them.

Once you have removed the backing board and cleaned the glazing, you can fit your picture in the frame.

Fit the backing board back into the frame and press down the flexible tabs.

The hanging fixtures either slide over the backing board(on thinner frames) or screw into the wood(as photo). They should be positioned about 1/3rd from top on each sides.

The cord is then suspended through the two hooks and secured. Your picture is now ready to hang.

An aluminium frame components consist of 4 lengths of aluminium moulding, 4 sets of corner brackets, spring clips and hanging clips.

Your picture frame will be assembled on receipt. The first stage of fitting your picture will be to remove the spring clips that will be part fitted at the back.

Step 2 involves slackening off the screws in any two corresponding corner brackets. You do not need to fully remove the screw.

With the two screws slackened off, one piece of the aluminium moulding can be extracted. This will give you access to the inside of the frame.

You can now remove the backing board and fit your picture. The glazing may be cleaned with a soft anti static cloth. The backing board will then be refitted.

The piece of aluminium moulding can be refitted. Please ensure the corner is held firmly together before tightening the screws.

The spring clips need to be refitted in the space between the backing board and moulding. Push them firmly until they are hidden.

The hanging clips will clip into the back of the frame, one either side and about one third from the top. Tigthen the screw to ensure there is no movement.

The hanging cord can be secured between the two hanging brackets. Your picture is now ready to hang on the wall.
