No, it is not recommended that you install the frames on a door, or other moving surface. The album frames should only be installed on stationary walls. However, we have had customers who have done so in the past (see this blog post).
Nope. These frames are functional. They were designed to give you quick access to the records so the vinyl can do what it’s meant to do – be heard. There is also the added bonus that you can change which records you are displaying quickly, and without hassle, if you just want to change the look of your display room.
There are other frames out there with glass (or plexi-glass) covers, but they add glare and make the record inaccessible. If you are only interested in hiding your record behind glass, then this probably isn’t the frame for you. We may add the option of a plexiglass cover, but for the time being, we are happy that we are the only reasonably priced functional frame in the world.
I have tested the frame on hundreds of records, and so far, only one record was somewhat loose (a recent European release). As well, you can check out this blog post which shows over 150 records mounted on a wall without a problem. So the frame will fit over 99% of LP jackets, but if you find your record doesn’t quite fit you can check out our page on adjusting the fit.
However, this frame is designed for LP jackets – not LP sleeves. So there are several examples of dance/techno releases which are basically record sleeves without LP jackets. There could definitely be issues with fitting these releases into the frame. My apologies for this, but if the frame were to fit these releases, then too much art would be cut off from the standard LP jacket.
Yes, these frames were designed to handle double albums. As well, these frames can also display gatefold album covers.
Our frames come with two screws, which can be be screwed into drywall. If you can’t put screws into your wall surface, please have a look at our installation guide for more solutions.
We are now accepting international orders!
