Choosing frame grips and perches

Match the jaw or hook

A spring grip and a lever hook make contact in different places. Compare the jaw shape with the top bar, especially if your frames have molded plastic ribs.

Check where the frame will rest

A frame perch hangs over an edge or uses its own support. Measure the hive wall or rail thickness and check the supported frame count before relying on it.

Department questions

Can I lift a stuck frame with the grip?

Free the frame using the hive tool first, then use a grip suited to its top bar.

Do grips for wooden frames also fit plastic?

Some products have separate jaw shapes for molded plastic. Check the documented fit.

Is a perch the same as a grip?

A perch temporarily supports frames, while a grip is held in your hand.
