Repair Wood Picture Frames

Repair corners on a wood picture frame.

Lots of things can cause a picture frames corners to come loose and for the frame in general to become in disrepair.

The constant expanding and contracting caused by temperature and moisture changes that go on during the day in most houses.

A trip to the floor can really loosen a picture frame's joints.

Fumes from cooking can be rough on the picture frame corner joints and the finish as well. Outside polutants that come inside every time a door or window is opened can be bad for wood picture frame joints and finish.

Picture frame repair is pretty easy to do as long as you do it slowly and carefully.

Separate the loose wood picture frame corners.

If a corner joint needs a little prying always pry from the underneath part of the frame and never from the top, because it will compress the wood on the frame member on one side.

Never pry from the outside of the corner, as it could break a portion of the corner off and if you pry from the inside of the corner it will compress the wood and make the corner appear to not join properly.
