Picture Framing Tools
Match rigid, flexible and multilayer framing points to the driver
Start with the driver's model number and how you intend the frame to open. The same frame may need a different fitting approach if you expect to change the artwork.
Choose how the back will open
Flexible points can serve a frame intended for future changes when the maker documents that use. Rigid points hold a more permanent fitting. Check that the point and the backing stack have the clearance your molding provides.
Check whether inserts load one at a time
The Logan F400-1 takes single inserts by hand. The F500-2 is documented for the specific Logan point strips listed on its product page. Match the feed style as well as the shape of the point.
Keep multilayer systems separate
Fletcher documents MultiMaster and MultiPoints for stacked frames and liners, such as a canvas with a liner and an outer frame. Decide which pieces you need to attach before choosing the tool. For artwork you plan to change in a conventional frame, compare a documented flexible backing-point system.
