Product Information

Full details

The Springlock Method B Secure Picture Frame Hanger is designed for art installers, gallery owners, and homeowners looking to prevent the unauthorized removal or theft of framed artwork in public or high-traffic areas. By providing a locking mechanism that secures a frame against a wall, it ensures stability and security; however, users should be aware that the essential release tool and marker buttons must be purchased separately to facilitate installation and maintenance.

FAQs

Does the Method B pack include the release tool?

No, the release tool is sold separately and is required for removing the artwork.

Can I use this for heavy artwork?

Yes, provided the wall structure and frame backing are sturdy enough to support the weight and the screws are driven into appropriate anchors or studs.

Why do I need marker buttons?

Marker buttons are essential for accurately marking the wall position for the locking mechanism before you begin drilling.

Is the Springlock visible after installation?

The system is designed to sit behind the frame, making it effectively hidden from view when looking at the artwork head-on.

Can I buy the release tool from a hardware store?

No, the release tool is a proprietary item designed specifically for the Springlock system and must be purchased from authorized suppliers.

Troubleshooting

Frame will not lock into place

Ensure the bottom Springlock unit is aligned correctly with the corresponding frame plate; check for wall obstructions.

Release tool fails to unlock the frame

Verify that you are using the official Springlock release tool and that it is fully inserted into the release slot.

Frame sits unevenly

Adjust the tension of the top hang plates and ensure the bottom lock is mounted at the exact distance required by the frame depth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Significantly reduces the risk of artwork theft
Prevents accidental bumping or knocking of frames off walls
Durable construction suitable for long-term use
Professional-grade security for public spaces

Cons

Release tool is not included in the single pack
Requires additional marker buttons for initial alignment
Installation is more complex than standard wire hanging systems

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install the system, you will need the included six screws, a screwdriver, and the separately purchased marker buttons. Start by attaching the top hang plates to the frame and the wall at the desired height. Use the marker buttons to perfectly align the bottom Springlock position before drilling. Ensure the wall surface is level, as the locking mechanism relies on precise alignment. For maintenance, simply use the release tool periodically to ensure the locking spring remains free of dust or debris. Do not use chemical cleaners on the locking mechanism, as this may impede the spring action.
