S09-PW18-3 Large Picture Frame Right Angle Spring Clip

The PW18-3 Large Right Angle Picture Frame Spring Clip (SKU S09) is the most powerful spring clip in XKY Framing’s professional range. Built from 0.5 mm stainless steel and weighing 2.5 g, this large 30×27 mm right-angle clip is engineered for large-format frames with deep rabbet profiles — the professional tool for retaining heavy glass panels in shadow boxes, conservation frames, and oversized art frames where standard clips cannot generate sufficient holding force from side-wall mounting positions.

Heavy-Duty Right Angle Engineering of the PW18-3

The PW18-3 Large Right Angle Picture Frame Spring Clip scales up the PW18-2’s 90° body concept to handle the demands of large-format framing. The mounting plate is 30 mm long and 27 mm wide — the largest mounting footprint in the XKY spring clip range — providing maximum screw-to-clip stability when attached to the inner rabbet wall. The spring plate extends 17 mm above the mounting plate, creating a generous spring travel zone that accommodates variations in content stack height without losing retention force.

At 27 mm wide, the PW18-3’s spring plate spans almost the full inner width of large-format moulding rabbets, distributing the downward spring force evenly across the glass panel’s top edge. This wide load distribution is critical for large glass panels where point-loading from a narrow clip can cause micro-fractures at the glass edge over time.
