Each Stretch-Lok model handles a range of frames up to the recommended maximum dimensions. Quick Tension screws allow precise tensioning of specific areas of the frame if needed. Maximum screen tension is up to 20-25 N; 20 N on units larger than 36″ x 36″, depending on mesh count and other factors. Custom size Strech-Lok units also are available. — D.S.
