Product Information

Full details

The Springlock Anti-Theft Picture Frame Hanging System - Method A is designed for artists, galleries, and homeowners seeking to securely display artwork and prevent theft or accidental removal. Its key benefit is robust security through a patented locking mechanism that requires a special tool for release. A caveat is that the release tool is sold separately, which is an additional purchase for removal. This system ensures framed artwork remains firmly in place, resisting unauthorized removal.

FAQs

What is included in the Method A pack?

The Method A pack includes two springLOCKS (each comprising a bridge and lock) and four screws.

Do I need a special tool to remove the artwork?

Yes, a special release tool, sold separately, is required to disengage and remove the artwork once the springLOCKS are engaged.

How many frames can one pack secure?

Each pack contains enough components to securely install one frame using two springLOCKS.

Can I use this on any type of frame?

This system is best suited for framed artwork with a suitable surface on the back for the locks to engage. Ensure your frame design is compatible.

Where can I purchase the release tool?

The specialized release tool is available for purchase separately from authorized springLOCK retailers or online.

Is the installation difficult?

The installation is designed to be straightforward, involving attaching the locks to the frame and then securing the frame to the wall. Precise alignment is key for optimal security.

What is the main advantage of this system?

The primary advantage is enhanced security, preventing the unauthorized removal or theft of artwork through its unique locking mechanism that requires a specific tool for release.

Troubleshooting

SpringLOCK not engaging properly

Ensure the frame is aligned correctly and being pushed with enough consistent pressure. Check for any obstructions on the lock mechanism or the receiving surface.

Difficulty removing the frame

Verify you are using the correct specialized release tool and that it is inserted fully into the lock mechanism. Ensure you are following the removal procedure precisely.

Screws do not seem secure

Ensure you are using appropriate wall anchors for your wall type (drywall, plaster, concrete) and that the screws are the correct size for the anchors and the springLOCK hardware.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a high level of security against artwork theft and accidental falls.
  • The locking mechanism is simple to engage during installation.
  • Designed for discreet and secure framing solutions.
  • The Method A pack includes all necessary components for a dual-lock setup.
  • Durable materials ensure long-lasting protection.

Cons

  • Requires a separate purchase of the specialized release tool for removal.
  • Installation may require precise alignment for optimal security.
  • Not suitable for frames that require frequent removal or repositioning without the tool.
  • The locking mechanism itself adds a small profile to the frame's back.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Determine the desired placement for your artwork on the wall.
  2. Attach the springLOCK components to the back of your frame as per the specific instructions for Method A (typically involves aligning them with the frame's edge).
  3. Align the frame with the desired wall location. Ensure the locking mechanism is positioned to engage securely.
  4. Push the frame gently into place. You should feel or hear the springLOCK engage. Ensure both locks are properly secured.
  5. The included screws are used to affix the wall-mounting hardware (not included) or directly to suitable wall anchors if the frame design allows.

Compatibility:

This system is designed for use with framed artwork. It is compatible with frames that have a sufficient lip or surface on the back to accommodate the springLOCK mechanism. Ensure the frame and wall mounting method chosen can support the weight of the artwork.

Care:

  • Wipe the springLOCK components with a dry or slightly damp cloth as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Periodically check that the locks are still securely engaged, especially in areas with high vibration or frequent activity.
  • Store the specialized release tool in a safe and accessible location, separate from the artwork itself.
