Abstract

A frame (1) for displaying photos or other artwork on a steel refrigerator or other steel surfaces. The frame is made of steel and has a hole (2) laser cut in each side (FIG. 1). A magnet (3) is inserted in each hole to adhere the frame to the steel surface (FIG. 3). Each magnet overhangs slightly on top of the frame for added security. A steel magnet cover (4) is then placed on top of each magnet as a decorative touch (FIG. 5).
