Is there a way to secure my frame to the wall?
Frames come with a flat track wall hanging mount. If you need more security: Ask for some tracking clips when you order. This is a popular option. Use these clips to attach your frame to the wall more securely. Screw clips into the frame tracking.
Then screw the clips to the wall passing through the eye of the clip. Helps deter theft. Good for earthquakes.
Image to the right shows example of how the clips look attached to back of frame.
Be sure to allow access to the back door of the frame. Sometimes you may need to format the inside USB drive if you have one.
