FAQs

What is the minimum frame size this kit can handle?

The minimum sized frame inside the rebate is 150mm x 150mm.

What is the maximum moulding width the kit can accommodate?

The maximum moulding width is 75mm.

What is stacking and when is it used?

Stacking is the process of inserting two wedges on top of each other. It's used when working with taller mouldings (up to 100mm) to achieve a deeper joint.

What does the free hardware kit include?

The kit includes 100 x 7mm wedges, 100 x 10mm wedges, 5m picture hanging wire, 8 x screw eyes, 8 x D rings, 8 x screw rings, 6 x large wall hooks, 4 x small wall hooks, 10 x wood screws, 20 x masonry nails, and a frame leveler (spirit level).

How do I insert a wedge?

Position the mitred corner on the non-slip base and against the fence. Use the driver with the magnetic tip to hold the wedge and insert it until it is flush with the back of the frame.

How can I get the best results?

Ensure your mitre cuts are precise, use the included hardware, and practice the process on scrap wood first to get the hang of it.

What is the warranty period?

The product comes with a 1-year guarantee.

Troubleshooting

Frame corners not aligned.

Ensure the mitred cuts are accurate. Double-check the clamp and fence settings. Use the frame leveler from the included kit to make sure your frame is square.

Wedges not fully inserted.

Make sure the wedge driver is clean and the magnetic tip is working. Check for any obstructions in the moulding. Apply firm, even pressure when inserting the wedge.

Clamp mechanism feels stiff.

Clean and lubricate the moving parts of the clamp mechanism.
