Abstract
In one instance, the disclosure is a removable wall opening frame comprising a mounting element and trim element. The mounting element contains a slit receiver and the trim element contains raised slits. The slit receiver of the mounting element and the raised slits of the trim element are configured to lockedly engage the mounting element and the trim element. When engaged, the slit receiver is not visible or accessible. The trim element can be disengaged from the mounting element by inserting a key into a hole in the mounting element. When disengaged, the frame can be removed from the wall opening. Neither the mounting element, trim element, nor wall opening are damaged by removal.

A removable wall opening frame, comprising:
- a trim element comprising an engaging portion;
- and a mounting element comprising a receiver configured to releasably engage the engaging portion of the trim element to couple the mounting element to the trim element;
- the receiver comprising a first portion and a third portion parallel to the first portion, and a slanted second portion connecting the first and third portion, a compressible prong extending from the third portion, the compressible prong having a horizontal part attached to the third portion and a slanted portion extending towards the first portion, the slanted portion having a lip that interacts with the engaging portion of the trim element to fixedly couple the trim element with the mounting element.
A removable wall opening frame, comprising:
- a mounting element comprising a mounting portion for coupling the mounting element to a wall opening;
- and a trim element configured to releasably engage the mounting element such that when the trim element is engaged with the mounting element, the mounting portion is covered by the trim element;
- wherein the mounting element comprises a receiver, the receiver comprising a first portion and a third portion parallel to the first portion, and a slanted second portion connecting the first and third portion, a compressible prong extending from the third portion, the compressible prong having a horizontal part attached to the third portion and a slanted portion extending towards the first portion, the slanted portion having a lip that interacts with the engaging portion of the trim element to fixedly couple the trim element with the mounting element.
A removable wall opening frame, comprising:
- a trim element comprising an engaging portion;
- a mounting element comprising a receiver configured to releasably engage the engaging portion of the trim element;
- a key opening on the mounting element adjacent the receiver;
- and a key, sized so as to disengage the engaging portion from the receiver when the key is inserted into the key opening;
- the receiver comprising a first portion and a third portion parallel to the first portion, and a slanted second portion connecting the first and third portion, a compressible prong extending from the third portion, the compressible prong having a horizontal part attached to the third portion and a slanted portion extending towards the first portion, the slanted portion having a lip that interacts with the engaging portion of the trim element to fixedly couple the trim element with the mounting element.
