Features and benefits of Snap Frames.

The Black A4 Lockable Snap Frame is a secure aluminium poster frame designed to display A4 posters in high-traffic or public-facing environments. It is especially useful when displaying important information such as safety notices, compliance signage, promotional content, menus, or directional messaging in locations where tamper-resistance is a priority. The screw holes are hidden when the front cover is closed, ensuring a clean and seamless appearance on the wall. 

The frame is sized to fit standard A4 posters measuring 210 x 297 mm, with an outer frame dimension of 240 x 327 mm and a visible display area of 190 x 277 mm. It can be mounted in either portrait or landscape orientation, offering flexibility to suit different display needs and spaces.

Built with a 25mm snap-open profile, its edges open from the front for quick and easy content changes, without removing the frame from the wall or using any tools. The lockable mechanism adds an extra layer of security, preventing unauthorised access to the insert, making it ideal for retail stores, public spaces, healthcare settings, and hospitality venues.

The included anti-glare cover helps reduce reflection under indoor lighting, making content easier to read while also protecting inserts from dust and everyday wear. Its sleek black aluminium finish gives it a bold, professional appearance that complements a wide range of modern interiors. 

How do I update my graphics?

The snap frame is single sided, it can be clipped open from all four sides.

This lockable snap frame is designed with a sequential locking system, meaning the frame profiles can only be opened once the locking profile has been released by using the provided allen key.

Once clips are open remove the PVC cover and insert the required poster.

How wide is the snap frame?

The frame profile is 30mm wide and this creates a 10mm overlap of your poster on each side. The frame stands out approximately 10mm from the wall.

How is the frame mounted?

The aluminium Snap Frame comes with pre-drilled holes and with wall fixings and screws ready for mounting. To hang indoors you can also use double sided tape to mount the snap frame to a wall.

What is the frame made of?

The frame is made from aluminium with a aluminium composite panel backing and protected by anti-glare PVC cover.

Is there different types of front covers?

Anti- glare PVC covers and mostly used internally to prevent the glare on the poster. The anti glare cover takes away from the sharpness of the poster details. This is the cover that is supplied with the snap frame.

Clear PVC  covers are used when the lighting does not affect the posters and you require a much sharper image. This cover is supplied as a bonus cover for all frames A1 and smaller.

Polycarbonate is the third option and it is used for outdoors. This cover is UV resistant and does not shrink or turn yellow outside. If this cover is required it must be purchased separately.

The thickness of all the covers is 0.4mm

Can I use this frame outdoors?

Yes, however you should print on waterproof paper. If you are going to use the snap frame outdoors a outdoor polycarbonate cover must also be purchased to prevent the cover from turning yellow or shrinking.

What thickness paper can I use?

The frame can hold a poster with a maximum thickness of 1mm
