Before you get started...
INSPECT FOR DEFECTS PRIOR TO ASSEMBLY. Wedges may be either similar or different lengths. You must compare the assembly
wedge lengths to the depth/length of the wedge routes in the frame corner. Assembly wedges are installed with the flat end face-
up. When applying glue, it should be spread evenly so the entire cut end of each 45 degree piece is coated. Wedges must be installed
before glue dries. A damp rag will clean off glue that may have gotten onto the front of the frame. Allow at least three hours to dry.
If the back of the frame profile is not level when the assembly wedges are installed, it will create a gap in the front of the frame. A
door stop or washcloth placed under the corner of the two frame pieces will level the frame for installation of the assembly wedges.
This is not necessary for relatively flat profiles.
step One
Locate assembly hardware
attached to frame packaging.
You will find glue, wedges, corner guides,
double-sided adhesive squares and mirror
clips (if applicable). Match the length of
assembly wedges to the depth of the routes.
step Three
Choose a corner and apply glue to both
pieces. With both glued pieces face down,
press glued corners together. Depending on
the profile, a door stop or washcloth may be
needed to level the frame.
step Four
Hold the two corner pieces level
and in place. Insert both
assembly wedges into the
correct route - so that the flat end
is face-up. Tap the frame wedges
flush with the back of the frame.
Repeat for all corners.
step Two
Before assembly, inspect
the frame pieces for
defects. Lay the four pieces
face down.
step Five
Turn over and inspect all
corners. Wipe off excess glue
with a damp cloth. Before the
glue dries, if necessary, adjust
the corners. One frame side
may be higher than the other.

Note: If you accidentally install the frame in an undesired location, place something thin and sturdy (like fishing
line) between the frame and the mirror and wiggle downwards - breaking through the adhesive.

step Seven
Assemble corner guides by
folding along the perforated
edges and inserting tab. Apply
a double-sided adhesive square
to the back of each of the
guides. With the frame in place,
tightly stick the guides into
both of the upper inside frame
corners.
step Six
Test fit the Add A Frame®to the
mirror before removing
adhesive. Check for obstacles
that will affect installation,
such as medicine cabinets or
towel bars. As a safety
measure , if the stability of the
mirror is in question, place
several offset metal mirror clips
on the mirror into studs.
step Eight
Remove the frame and clean the
mirror with isopropyl rubbing
alcohol. This is a very important
step to ensure that the frame
sticks securely onto your mirror.
*The corner guides are for alignment purposes only!
They are not strong enough to support the weight of the frame.

step Nine
Remove the backing from the
tape. Be careful not to touch
to the mirror yet. Align the
Add A Frame®with the
corner guides andgently
press onto the mirror.
If a mirror has been installed with plastic mirror clips, replace
them one at a time with flat metal offset mirror clips.
Remove the double back tape from area where the offset
clips contact the back of the Add A Frame®.
If a mirror has been installed with a j-channel at the bottom,
make sure no tape comes in contact with j-channel. If it does,
simply remove that section of adhesive so that the channel
and the adhesive can lay side-by-side behind the frame.
