I am looking for Digital Photo Frames (5x7) that can be put on the
refrigerator in the kitchen. The ony ones that I found were too small
or integrated into the refrigerator.

Could you please let me know if anyone is aware of this type of frames?

Thank you in advance.

Buy the frame you want, then go to Wal-Mart or any crafts store and buy a
roll of adhesive backed magnetic tape. Apply the tape to the back of the
frame, and put it on the fridge door.

Checking first to see the your refrigerator is not made from aluminum or
plastic....

Elsewise: Plan B.

The 'This Old House Method'

Drive a couple of drywall screws though the side of the frame into the
fridge door,avoid the LCD panel. Adhesive tape will eventually become weak
allowing your LCD display to come crashing down upon the floor shattering
into a million tiny fragments of which some could be imbedded into the
bottom of your bare foot resulting in possible gangrene and limb amputation.

Didn't see that one coming did ya?

What about the cord? My digital frame has a cord with a transformer,
and it has to be plugged in. Gonna be ugly with a cord drooping down.

Ok, take some lacquer thinner, wipe the adhesive off the magnetic
tape, and epoxy it in place instead.

I use commercial grade Velcro to hang pictures, up to 16x20 with small
frame, on the walls of my motor home. Some have been there for 50,000 miles
over all kinds of roads.

I use the magnetic tape to attach carpet to the outside steps of the motor
home. I do add hot glue to the tape, but I leave the carpets on the steps
when driving. I've never lost one. They wear out in about 2 years, and I
remove the magnetic tape and put them on the back of new carpet.

Either would work, but the magnetic tape will be easy to take down and clean
the fridge door, it the door is a metal that will hold the magnet. If you're
worried about the adhesive giving way, just tack the magnet down with hot
glue or a bit of gorilla glue.

We have an employee with some of those fancy stainless steel
appliances. She says magnets don't stick.

So paint it white and use magnetic primer.
