Description

Long Metal Turn Button Clip Silver – U09 Complete Guide

The Long Metal Turn Button Clip Silver (SKU: U09) is XKY Framing’s most rigid backing fastener. Its tapered rectangular body is 21 mm long and manufactured from 0.9 mm cold-rolled steel — the thickest gauge in the entire clip range — delivering maximum rigidity for professional frame assembly.

Why Choose the Long Metal Turn Button Clip Silver?

Thicker steel means less flex during installation and greater resistance to backing-board movement over time. The U09 Long Metal Turn Button Clip Silver is the preferred choice for conservation framers, museums, and galleries where long-term structural integrity is essential.

Pre-drill a 2.8 mm pilot hole. Seat the backing board. Position the Long Metal Turn Button Clip Silver. Fasten with a fine M3 machine screw to specified torque. Rotate 90° to lock. The narrow 4 mm tail ensures precise grip on thin backing boards.

FAQ

Why is the U09 hole 2.8 mm instead of 3 mm?

The 2.8 mm hole is sized for fine M3 machine screws with a tighter thread engagement, providing higher pull-out resistance than the standard 3 mm clearance hole.

What is the tapered shape advantage?

The taper directs the turning force to the narrow tail end, concentrating grip precisely on the backing board edge for a more secure lock.

Is U09 suitable for metal-framed prints?

Yes. The 0.9 mm gauge and 2.8 mm hole make it ideal for aluminium section frames where rigid hardware is preferred.
