Lay your frame face down onto a clean, flat surface. You will\u00a0notice there are\u00a0little springs inside the back edge of the frame and corner plates, We will remove these on the next step<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\"step-2\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
\"2\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Using a flat head screwdriver, very carefully\u00a0remove the springs from inside of the frame there is an indentation on each side of the spring to make removal with a screwdriver easy. We suggest you put your hand over the spring before it is released in case it springs out !<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\"step-3\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
\"3\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Repeat the process of removing the springs until all springs have been removed and then position the frame in the orientation of the item to be put inside.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\"step-4\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
\"4\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
If you look at the corner of the frame section, you can see a little Metal corner plate with a screw though the middle.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\"step-5\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
\"5\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Using a Flat head screw driver, un-tighten\u00a0each screw\u00a0on the\u00a0bottom\u00a0left corner plate.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\"step-6\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
\"6\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Repeat the process above on the bottom right corner plate.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\"step-7\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
\"7\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Slide out the complete section of the frame.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\"step-8\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
\u00a0\"8\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Slide the glazing and backing out\u00a0 from inside the frame.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\"step-9\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
\u00a0\"remove<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
You can now remove the protective cover on the glazing, please remember the glazing always has two protective covers on and these need to be removed from both sides, it is vacuum packed on and can sometimes be tricky to see; if you dig your nail into the corner it will be revealed.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\"step-10\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
\u00a0\"9\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
With the protective covers removed from the Plexiglas, place the item you are framing in between the MDF backing and the Plexiglas, be careful to keep at least the inside of the Plexiglas nice and clean, as you can always clean the outside afterwards.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\"step-11\"<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
\u00a0\"8\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\u00a0Carefully\u00a0slide the glazing, item and backing back into the frame.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\"step-12\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
\u00a0\"7\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Slide\u00a0the top section back in.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\"step-13\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
\u00a0\"5\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Now make sure all four corners\u00a0of the frame meet up and align correctly, make adjustments as necessary and then\u00a0tighten all screws on all corner plates.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\"step-14\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
\u00a0\"2\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Using a\u00a0flat head screwdriver push the springs back in under the inside of frame.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\"step-15\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
\u00a0\"10\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
You will have two hanging plates and cord. We\u00a0usually put\u00a0the hanging plates into the frame channels for you but just in case you have to move or re-position them.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\"step-16\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
\"11\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Measure down from the top of the frame section,\u00a0 and place the hanging kit into the channel<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\"step-17\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
\"12\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\"step-19\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
\"14\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Loop the cord through the two d-rings and tie up as securely as possible.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
