Hillman 121132 Picture Pender, Steel, Zinc-Plated

Hillman picture penders are small metal points that secure the backing inside a wooden picture frame. Also called frame points, they hold the backing board, mat, glass and artwork tight against the frame rabbet, so everything stays square and secure without rattling loose, which makes them essential for assembling and repairing wooden frames at home. Installing a pender is simple and tool-light - set it against the frame back with the teeth facing down, then gently tap it into the wooden frame. The sharp points drive into the wood and grip, locking the backing in place with no glue, no screws and no special framing gun needed for a basic frame. Made from zinc-plated steel, the points are sharp and strong enough to bite into wood and resist rust over time. That keeps a firm, lasting hold on-the frame back, so the contents stay securely enclosed and the frame holds together through moving, hanging and handling for years. Use these penders for assembling and repairing wooden picture frames and for securing photos, artwork, prints and needlework behind glass. They are handy for hobby framers, craft and gift projects and refreshing older frames and a few spaced around the frame back hold even a large backing flat and rattle-free. This six-pack keeps a supply on-hand for framing jobs around the home and workshop.
