Picture Frame Clamping Tools

FrameCo manufactures several different types of picture frame clamps. It is most important that the corners of the frame you intend to join be held firmly together while inserting the V-Nail. The pressure of the V-Nail entering the base of the moulding may force the joint to open if the frame is not held securely.

FrameCo Strap Clamp
"The best clamp to use for all your framing jobs is one which pulls all the corners together at the one time. This way you can see how the corners fit before joining with V-Nails."


The FrameCo Strap Clamp is ideal for picture framing. The spring steel band is 5M (16') and will hold a 1.2x1.2M (4x4') frame. There is no limit to the width of the moulding that can be joined.

The plastic corners are specially made so that they will not slip off the frame - a unique feature of our clamps. Plus the corner pieces are flexible so that they can clamp at any angle. The locking mechanism of the Strap Clamp is robust, quick and easy to use and comes with a lifetime warranty. Extra corners are supplied so that you can join 4, 6, 8 and 10 sided frames. Glue is recommended on all joints for larger frames.

All the FrameCo clamps now come with new corner "wings". These wings fit onto the bottom of each corner piece preventing the clamp from slipping off the frame. Fit the corner wings when joining rounded or narrow backed moulding.

Corner "Jack"

When joining some shaped mouldings the front or rear of the corner may need support if the frame does not rest flat on the working surface. The pressure of the V-Nail entering the base of the moulding can force the joint to open if the frame is not supported.

The FrameCo Corner "Jack" is an adjustable jack used to support the frame corner while joining.

The Corner Jack will support large, small or reverse shaped mouldings.
