Framing Hardware & Supplies

Custom Picture Frames offers the most comprehensive selection of professional picture framing hardware and mounting supplies available online. Our catalog includes every essential component needed for secure hanging, professional assembly, and long-lasting frame protection, from professional-grade hanging systems to precision mounting hardware used by professional framers nationwide.

Professional Hanging Hardware

Our hanging hardware selection ensures secure wall mounting for frames of any size or weight. We stock professional-grade D-ring hangers in both nickel and brass finishes, available in individual pairs or economical 100-count contractor packs with savings up to 40%. D-rings provide superior weight distribution and are the preferred choice for heavy frames and commercial installations. For lighter applications, our sawtooth hangers in nickel and brass offer clean, flush-mount solutions ideal for smaller frames and gallery walls.

Hanging wire remains the industry standard for professional picture hanging. We carry braided stainless steel wire rated for heavy-duty applications, sold in convenient 25-foot and 100-foot spools. Pre-assembled hanging kits bundle D-rings, wire, and screws in ready-to-install packages. These kits give production framers and DIY enthusiasts reliable components without separate sourcing.

Frame Assembly & Backing Components

Proper frame assembly requires precision hardware that holds artwork securely while allowing for seasonal expansion and professional servicing. Our flex points (also called flexpoints or spring points) are the professional standard for securing backing boards in wood frames. These spring-loaded tabs create consistent pressure without damaging frame molding, and our bulk packs of 500 or 1000 pieces offer exceptional value for frame shops and production facilities.

Turn buttons provide an alternative securing method, particularly useful for deeper frames and shadowboxes where access from the rear is required. Available in nickel and brass finishes with matching screws, turn buttons allow for easy artwork changes while maintaining professional presentation. Each pack includes precisely matched fasteners for immediate installation.

Frame Protection & Stability

Bumper pads are essential for protecting both frames and walls from damage. Our self-adhesive clear rubber bumpers come in economical packs of 100, providing cushioning that prevents wall scuffing and allows proper air circulation behind frames. Critical for preventing moisture buildup and preserving artwork in humid environments. Professional installers rely on these bumpers to maintain consistent spacing and prevent frames from marking painted or wallpapered surfaces.

Why Professional Framers Choose Custom Picture Frames

Every hardware component in our catalog meets or exceeds professional framing industry standards. We stock the same D-rings, wire, flex points, and bumpers used by museum preparation departments, commercial galleries, and certified picture framers. Our bulk pricing structure, with discounts up to 40% on larger pack sizes, makes professional-grade hardware accessible to both established frame shops managing high-volume production and serious DIY framers who refuse to compromise on quality.

Unlike general hardware stores that stock generic picture hanging supplies, Custom Picture Frames specializes exclusively in framing components. This focused expertise means we understand the specific requirements of conservation framing, the weight ratings needed for large format artwork, and the finish consistency required for high-end residential and commercial installations. Our hardware selection is curated specifically for picture framing applications. No sorting through irrelevant products or settling for approximate substitutes.
