Can someone tell me how wide will the clip open? Our bed baseboard is 1-3/4" wide.

I agree it's just over an inch - I have it spread to the max on a part of my bed headboard that is 1 1/16 inches. Don M.

My headboard is 1 1/2 inches wide, and I had to adjust it to fit. Since the hanger is metal, it can be made wider with a wrench or other such tool, depending on how wide the log is. If it is too wide, it may not hold.

I have 3.5 inch bed posts and am having zero luck finding anything that will fit them! If you have found anything since you first asked the question, please let us know!

I'm not sure how wide but I clip it on my vanity and it's around 1 inch to 1 1/2 inch.

Depends on the thickness of the headboard of course. But it's really designed just to clip on the book cover. Probably only opens about 1/2 inch, or a little more.

Hi sticky ricardo, I looked at my framed picture and measured 5" for your project.It will work. You'll have 1" between the clips on the narrow side....I like this system and it will work for small things also.The trick is to string it tight, to not let the string have any give.Sincerely your handy craft fellow

In my estimation it is more like 1 and 2/8. I measured the inside of the hook and that was the approximation. I also tried it on a one inch thick round headboard in another bedroom, and it fit with a little more room. It does hook out and gets wider, but the curved portion is where it actually hooks onto the headboard. It might be worth trying. The other consideration to take into account is the heighth of your headboard. If it is not very high, your pillows and your face might be parallel to the light. Good luck with your decision.

I have mine clipped on the bed post which is about 1.5". I would think 2.5 is about the max.

the opening on mine is 3/4", though is could be a little bigger since the stopper is angled.

The opening is only about 1 3/8 inch wide. It's more suited to something up to 1 1/4 inch

I tried clamping it to a headboard that is about an inch and a half thick...didn't fit. I had to return it.

My headboard is 1" thick, and I think it is best designed for nothing thicker than that. Even though the clip will open to 1 1/2", I'm not sure it would stay secured on your headboard.

I no longer live at the resident that I installed the clips in so I can't give you the dimensions. I'm sorry I couldn't help you out with your question.

It will open 3/16" wide and maybe a bit more. Great item, use mine in the shower to hold curtain down. Alternate for your need - suggest you just take a plastic hanger with spring clips already attached and use instead if you have a place to hang the hanger.

Mine is 4 1/2" wide. I have [picked up larger items when there has been an edge or protrusion to grab.

Hi Mary... When squeezing the clip as far as it will go, it spreads about 2 inches. The clip is very strong! The place where you would need for it to be clipped on to, has to be strong, like for me it's clipped to the top of an open drawer, made of solid wood. So a strong edge of something is required. Hope this helps you. :)

I opened mine up to the widest width (that will still hold) and it measure about 4 1/4 inches wide. Hope that helps.
