Black Large Folding Clasp Hinge – Wide Serrated Clasp for Heavy Frame Backs
The Black Large Folding Clasp Hinge provides the widest slot profile in the XKY snap hinge series at 32mm, engineered specifically for large-format picture frame back-panel joining and heavy canvas assembly. The serrated clasp teeth lock onto frame moulding edges with a firm, rattle-free grip even in high-humidity gallery environments.
Wide Slot Advantage
The 32mm-wide body distributes fastening force across more of the moulding cross-section than the narrower 8320 (29mm) or E1429B (31mm) hinges. The 24mm inner slot accepts a range of screw head sizes, providing flexibility on varied production lines.
Specifications
Width: 32mm | Height: 37mm | Slot width: 24mm | Upper leaf height: 10mm | Lower section height: 19mm | Hole diameter: 6mm | Material: 0.5mm cold-rolled steel | Weight: 3.4g | Finish: Matte Black
Installation for Frame Backs
Position the hinge at the frame back corner, aligning the serrated lower leaf with the outer edge. Press firmly to seat the serrated teeth. Drive 4mm pan-head screws through the slotted upper leaf into the frame back board. The serrated lower leaf locks the hinge in place during screw installation, acting as a third hand.
Applications
Large picture frame back-panel securing, canvas stretcher bar corner reinforcement, shadow box back assembly, display cabinet panel joints, and heavy poster frame joining.
Comparison with Silver Large Folding Clasp Hinge
This black version is identical in function to the Silver Large Folding Clasp Hinge (T13). Select black for dark walnut or ebony frames; silver for natural oak or white-painted frames.
