Tensioning Levers for Acle Type Frameless Clips (Pack of 2)

The Levers for Acle Type Frameless Clips are precision-formed tensioning tools designed to provide controlled leverage when assembling, adjusting, or changing graphics in clip frames and frameless glass displays. Engineered specifically to interface with traditional Acle-style back-mount spring retention clips, this 2-piece set allows framers, gallery staff, and homeowners to safely apply tension or release retaining clips without straining fingers, chipping glass edges, or cracking backing boards.

Key System Benefits

Dedicated Acle Clip Compatibility — Specifically engineered to match the geometry and retention channels of standard Acle-style frameless clips for smooth, secure engagement.

Protects Glass & Backing Boards — Delivers controlled mechanical leverage, preventing sudden slip-offs, pinched fingers, and accidental pressure fractures to glass or backing substrate.

Durable Formed Steel Construction — Built from resilient, rigid steel to resist bending under repeated tensioning cycles in busy framing workshops or gallery environments.

Convenient Two-Piece Tool Set — Supplied as a matched pair of levers to facilitate simultaneous two-handed balancing and tensioning across wide frame panels.

How to Use Acle Clip Levers

1. Lay your frameless picture sandwich (backing board, artwork, and glass/acrylic) flat face-down on a clean, soft surface.
2. Locate the engagement channel or notch on the Acle retention clip.
3. Hook the tip of the lever firmly into the designated clip slot.
4. Apply gentle, continuous downward leverage to lever the spring arm over the backing edge until it snaps firmly into place.
5. To release, re-engage the lever tip and gently ease the clip backward off the rim.

Framing Compatibility Tip: These levers are engineered exclusively for classic Acle-type clip mechanisms. Please verify your clip design before ordering; they will not seat into Swiss-style clips or corner spring brackets.
