Frames Explained: How to Adjust SimplKomb to Fit Your Medium Frames

SimplKomb was designed to fit the inside window of standard Langstroth medium grooved frames that have a 17" x 5.25" space on the inside of the top, bottom, and side bars. Some manufacturers make frames with different wood thicknesses which can cause this inner-window space to vary. 

Here's how to adjust your SimplKomb cassettes to accommodate your medium frames:

If your frame has a 5" vertical window space between the top and bottom bars, you can fold over the two tabs closest to the hinge on each cup. Tuck those tabs under the top bar when installing the cassette into your frame. This will ensure the cups rest flush across the top bar.

If the horizontal inner-window dimension of your frame is less than 17", cut a strip off of the edge of your cassette, following the molded guide line along the cup and the lid. You can cut one or both ends of the cassette to fit the cup face of the cassette between the side bars.
