The PW009 Offset Picture Frame Spring Clip (SKU S03) is XKY Framing’s specialist solution for frames with thicker content stacks. Its uniquely offset body and wide 17 mm head allow it to bridge deeper assemblies — double mats, archival spacers, foam board backing — that a standard PW20 clip cannot adequately retain. Stamped from 0.5 mm stainless steel and weighing just 0.7 g, it brings professional-grade content retention to complex framing configurations.
The Offset Design of the PW009 Offset Picture Frame Spring Clip
What distinguishes the PW009 Offset Picture Frame Spring Clip from standard spring clips is its offset body geometry. Rather than lying flat from head to foot, the clip body is formed in a stepped or angled profile that creates a vertical gap between the clip head’s gripping surface and the plane of the rabbet bottom. This gap — effectively the clip’s accommodation zone — allows thicker content assemblies to occupy the rabbet depth while the clip still generates downward spring force to hold everything securely.
The 17 mm wide head provides almost triple the contact area of a standard PW20 clip head (6–7 mm wide), distributing the holding force across a broader surface. This reduces the risk of backing board deformation under clip pressure, important for archival framing where backing board integrity protects the artwork.
Key Dimensions and Specifications
The S03 measures 21 mm in total length with a 16 mm body width — significantly wider than the PW20 family. The head slot is 9 mm long and 7 mm wide, accommodating rabbet lips of various heights. The clip foot is 6 mm wide and 9 mm tall. Material thickness is 0.5 mm and the clip weighs 0.7 g — slightly heavier than the PW20 due to the wider body.

FAQ
When should I use the PW009 clip instead of the PW20?
Use the PW009 Offset Spring Clip when your frame contains a thicker content stack — for example, glass + spacer + double mat + artwork + foam board backing — that the narrower PW20 clip cannot span sufficiently. The PW009's 17 mm wide head and 9 mm deep slot provide greater coverage and deeper seating for thick assemblies.
What does 'offset' mean in the PW009 design?
Offset means the clip's body is not in the same plane as the head — the body is angled or stepped to create a gap between the head's gripping surface and the rabbet lip surface. This gap accommodates a thicker content stack while still allowing the spring tension to lock everything firmly.
Is PW009 suitable for canvas floater frames?
Yes. Canvas floater frames often have deeper rabbets and thicker content (stretched canvas with depth) that require the wider, deeper-seating S03 clip. The 9 mm slot depth makes it suitable for canvas profiles up to approximately 8 mm in depth beyond the standard glass + mat combination.
Can this machine be customized?
Yes. S03 supports OEM customization including voltage (110V/220V/380V), pneumatic requirements, tooling, and export packaging. Share your moulding profile, daily output target, and destination market — our engineering team will confirm a factory-direct specification and lead time.
Do you provide overseas technical support?
Yes. XKY Framing provides remote commissioning guidance, spare parts supply, and video troubleshooting for hardware installations worldwide. For larger framing lines we can arrange on-site support by appointment. Contact us with your order reference for dedicated after-sales assistance.
