FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of the frame moulding?
The frame moulding is 39mm wide and 15mm deep.
Can I use this frame for something other than an A4 print?
The frame is designed specifically for A4 (210 x 297mm) items. While you might fit slightly smaller items, larger items will not fit. If your item is slightly larger, consider trimming it carefully.
What is the difference between glass and styrene plastic?
Glass offers superior clarity and scratch resistance but is heavier and more fragile. Styrene plastic is lighter and shatter-resistant, making it safer for certain environments, but it can be more prone to scratching over time.
How do I switch between portrait and landscape orientation?
You can simply rotate the frame and adjust its position. The hanging mechanism and stand are designed to function in both orientations.
Is the frame suitable for outdoor use?
This frame is intended for indoor use. Exposure to moisture and direct sunlight can damage the materials and fade the print.
Where is the frame manufactured?
The Metro Picture Photo Frame is manufactured in the UK.
Troubleshooting
Frame does not close properly
Ensure the print and backing are flat and not obstructing the frame edges. Check that all retaining clips are correctly aligned and secured.
Visible dust or fingerprints on the glass/styrene
Carefully open the frame and clean the inside of the glazing with an appropriate cleaner (glass cleaner for glass, damp cloth for styrene) and a microfiber cloth. Ensure the print is also free of dust.
Frame won't stand or hang securely
Verify that the stand mechanism is fully extended and locked in place, or ensure the wall hook is securely attached and suitable for the frame's weight.
