Product Information
Full details
The Hampton Frames Snap Frame in A2 Silver is designed for anyone needing to frequently update displayed content like posters or certificates, offering a quick and hassle-free way to change visuals. Its primary benefit is the rapid content update capability, achieved through its front-loading snap mechanism. A potential caveat is that while the front sheet is break-resistant, it is not glass, which may be a consideration for some display needs. Key features include an anodised aluminium profile, a non-glass front for safety, a reversible front sheet for glare-free or glossy finishes, and included wall fixings for easy installation.

FAQs
What size is this snap frame?
This snap frame is designed for A2 sized media, which measures 420mm x 594mm (or 16.5 x 23.4 inches).
Does it come with glass or a plastic front?
It features a non-glass, break-resistant front sheet, offering enhanced safety and durability compared to traditional glass.
Can I hang it horizontally or vertically?
Yes, the snap frame can be mounted in either portrait (vertical) or landscape (horizontal) orientation, depending on your display needs.
Is it easy to change the poster inside?
Yes, the front-loading snap mechanism allows for very quick and easy content changes by simply opening and closing the four frame panels.
What kind of finish does the silver frame have?
The frame has a 25mm anodised aluminium profile, providing a sleek, professional silver finish.
Are the wall fixings included?

Can I choose between a shiny or matte look?
Yes, the front sheet is reversible. You can choose between a glare-free (matte) or a glossy finish by simply flipping the front panel.
Troubleshooting
Frame panels are difficult to open or close.
Ensure there are no obstructions. The mechanism requires a firm, even pull to open and push to close. If stiff, check for any debris caught in the snap mechanism.
Content is not sitting flat within the frame.
Ensure the content is properly centered and the front sheet is correctly seated before closing the panels. Make sure the backing board is in place and flat.
Wall fixings seem inadequate for the wall type.
The supplied fixings are general purpose. For specific wall types (e.g., drywall, masonry), use appropriate wall anchors and screws suitable for the weight and wall material.
Scratches appear on the aluminium profile.
Handle the frame with care during installation and content changes. Minor scratches on anodised aluminium are difficult to remove; prevention is key. Clean gently with a soft cloth.
