Picture Frame Security Hardware Kit
The locking picture frame system used by hotels, galleries, and offices. Tamper-proof T-screws, brackets, and security wrench lock any frame to the wall.
Frames displayed in public and semi-public spaces need commercial picture hangers that discourage unauthorized removal. The CustomPictureFrames.com Security Hardware Kit contains everything required to lock a frame to the wall: four hardened-steel T-screws with tamper-proof heads, two heavy-gauge locking brackets, and a proprietary security wrench. Once installed, the frame cannot be lifted off its hanger without the wrench. The kit is compatible with frames of any size and any hanging method.

The complete kit ships in single kits or bulk packs; the security wrench is also sold on its own.
Anti-Theft Hardware for Hotels, Offices, and Public Spaces
Key Features
Tamper-Resistant T-Screws
Star-drive heads incompatible with standard screwdrivers prevent removal by anyone without the proprietary security wrench.
Universal Bracket Design
L-shaped locking brackets fit over wire, D-ring, sawtooth, and French cleat hangers, making the kit compatible with any hanging system.
Non-Destructive Installation
All components attach with standard screws and can be removed without damage to the frame, wall, or existing hanging hardware.
How It Works
Step 1: Attach Frame Plates
Mount slotted security plates to the back of your wood frame using the provided screws. Plates allow micro-adjustment for perfect leveling.
Step 2: Install Wall Brackets
Secure wall brackets using included anchors and screws. Position brackets to align with frame plates for flush mounting.
Step 3: Lock with T-Screw
Use the specialty wrench to tighten the security T-screw, locking the frame to the wall bracket. Frame cannot be removed without the unique tool.
Kit Contents and Components
Each kit includes four T-head security screws with a star-drive recess that requires the included wrench to install or remove. Two L-shaped locking brackets attach to the frame back and hook over the wall-mounted hanger or cleat, and the T-screws pass through the bracket slots into the wall anchor to lock the assembly in place. The proprietary security wrench features a tamper-proof star-drive bit that is not compatible with standard screwdriver sets, preventing removal with commonly available tools. One wrench services all frames in a facility.
The locking brackets work with wire hangers, D-ring hangers, sawtooth hangers, and French cleat systems. Common applications include hotel corridors and guest rooms where framed artwork is a furnishing asset, corporate offices and conference rooms with original artwork or photography, gallery exhibitions in public buildings, medical waiting rooms with high foot traffic, and vacation rental properties where wall decor must remain in place between guests. The kit does not damage the frame or wall and can be removed cleanly when frames need to be rotated or relocated.
