The O or D rings should be securely installed on the FRAME.

The metal buttons/tabs that hold the backing into the frame MUST be fully into the frame.

If you are looking for "D" rings for your artwork, you can find them at Home Depot and Rona.

If you are using frames with built in tabs on the backing, please be sure they are securely inserted into the groves on the frame. Glass and matting can off-set the connection and damage your artwork.
