The PW13 Picture Frame Turn Button Spring Clip (SKU S04) is XKY Framing’s innovative rotating clip solution for frames that need to be opened and reloaded regularly. Unlike standard spring clips that require full removal to access the frame contents, the PW13 turn-button design allows the frame to be opened by simply rotating each clip 90° — and resealed just as quickly. It is the professional framer’s choice for display frames, changeable art installations, and high-turnover commercial display environments.
How the PW13 Picture Frame Turn Button Spring Clip Works
The PW13 Picture Frame Turn Button Spring Clip operates on a simple but effective rotating mechanism. The clip is attached to the frame back via a small boss or raised point that passes through the central 13×13 mm oval slot. When the clip body is aligned parallel to the frame edge, the spring tension holds the content stack securely in the rabbet. Rotating the clip 90° — so it is perpendicular to the frame edge — releases the clamping force and allows the backing board and contents to be lifted free.
This rotation-to-release mechanism eliminates the need to pry or lever clips out with a tool each time the frame is accessed. Over time, this dramatically reduces the risk of scratching the frame back or deforming the clip, extending the life of both the frame and the hardware.
Material and Dimensional Specifications
The S04 is stamped from 0.5 mm stainless steel and weighs 1.2 g — heavier than the PW20 clips due to the wider 13 mm body. The total length is 35 mm, the body slot is 13×13 mm (the largest slot in the XKY Framing spring clip range), and the foot is 9 mm wide and 9 mm tall. The wide top (5 mm) provides a comfortable thumb grip for rotation without requiring a tool.

FAQ
How does the turn-button mechanism of the PW13 work?
The PW13 clip rotates on a small bump or boss moulded into the frame back. When turned 90° so the clip body is perpendicular to the rabbet edge, the backing board is free. Rotating it back 90° locks the content. This allows the frame contents to be changed without removing or reinserting the clip.
Is the PW13 clip suitable for frames that are opened regularly?
Yes — the turn-button design is specifically intended for frames accessed regularly for content change, such as rotating display frames, monthly calendar frames, menu boards, and school certificate display frames. The clip remains attached to the frame between changes.
What size frame does the PW13 turn-button clip fit?
The PW13 with its 35 mm body and 13 mm wide slot is suited to medium frames — approximately 20×25 cm to 30×40 cm — where the wider rabbet provides sufficient space for the 13 mm body width. For smaller frames with narrow rabbets, the PW20 small clip (S01 or S02) is more appropriate.
Can this machine be customized?
Yes. S04 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.
