How do you use the Gravity Locking System? |
|
The Gravity Lock was designed for the SwingFrame system and provides a simple locking method without the need for a lock & key. A long metal bar with hooks is placed into the metal channel located behind the front frame profile. This channel can be found on both the metal and
wood frame profile. Metal hooks fit over flat metal stoppers that are located on the “Swing Shell” (back frame). Place the tip or your finger behind the profile and you will feel a hook that has a plastic cap. Using your finger slide the gravity lock bar up to release the frame. As you swing open the front display case door, the bar will slide back down the channel. To close, place your finger on the same capped hook and slide the gravity lock up. Now swing close the frame door. Release the gravity lock and it will slide down and hook onto the flat metal stoppers.

What are the Differences Between a Classic Poster SwingFrame and a Wide-Face Poster SwingFrame? |
|
Classic Poster SwingFrames are part of the original patented design and use a simple 5/8" round metal profile. These frames are used for the display of posters, artwork, photography, graphics and other printed sheets. This frame design requires a Matboard; a decorative trim border made of cardboard typically used in standard custom framing to enhance the artwork presented.
The Matboard also hides the hinges that are behind the Matboard. If the Matboard were removed, a small 1/8” gap between the front frame and back “Swing Shell” would be visible revealing a small section of the hinge. The Matboard also adds an element of design providing numerous interior décor color combinations. Wide-Face poster SwingFrames are constructed of a metal profile that has a simple 1” slightly curved contemporary shape and does not require a Matboard. Wide-Face is by far our most requested metal poster SwingFrame. Matboards can also be requested and placed into the Wide-Face profile creating numerous color design enhancements.
