I'm looking for suppliers of ready made metal frames with the clips that you press and turn to hold in place, so that the customer can change out their photos whenever they want.

I've cut enough mats for this type of frame, but I'm not sure who is making them.
 
I carry a few ready mades from Neilsen. I like these the best because they come with UV glass. They dont have a wide selection to choose but they have worked well for those customers who just wont spend the money for a custom frame. I do find myself stocking less and less of these however for the reason Jeff mentioned. Walmart, Target and every other big retailer in the country is selling those at prices that I just cant compete with.

I used to have a fair amount of sales from these. I would often sell a readymade with a mat board to fit the customers picture. It was a nice back up option for those who just didnt want to spend much money. Now I hear more and more "I can get that at Walmart for 1/2 that price". Unfortunatley they are correct. I still sell a few mats to fit frames that people have bought from such places. But over all my sales in that catagory are almost gone. :(
