Fletcher Glazing & Picture Framing Push Points - Silver

Each pack contains approximately 100 Fletcher Glazing & Picture Framing Push Points.

They can be inserted using a Fletcher PushMate point-setting tool or a standard putty knife.

These push points are designed for use with wooden frames and are intended to be inserted into wood. They are not suitable for metal or plastic frames.

Push points are generally single-use items designed to be permanently embedded in the frame for security. While they may be removable, they are not intended for repeated insertion and removal.

The push points are made of hardened steel for durability and a strong hold.

Their primary uses are for glazing applications (holding glass in place) and picture framing (securing artwork, glass, and backing within a wooden frame).

It is best to store them in their original packaging or a small, dry container to keep them organized and prevent potential corrosion.

Ensure you are using a proper insertion tool (Fletcher PushMate or putty knife) and applying direct, firm pressure. Check that the frame material is wood and not too hard; if the wood is exceptionally dense, a pilot hole (very small drill bit) might be considered, though this is not standard practice and may affect aesthetics.

Verify that the points are being inserted into the frame's rabbet and not just the edge of the wood. Ensure the points are fully seated into the wood. Check that the glass and backing are correctly positioned and not exerting undue outward pressure.

Use the tip of your insertion tool or a pair of fine-tipped tweezers to carefully pick up and position the push points before applying pressure.
