ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns apparatuses and methods for hanging frames upon mounting surfaces. The apparatus of the invention, upon which a frame is hung, is securely attached to a mounting surface, such as a wall. The apparatus comprises a generally planar body with protruding supporting rail, alignment notches, spirit level, bracket recess, and mounting holes. The apparatus is particularly well suited for use with metal frames with universal assembly channels. The supporting rail of the apparatus is designed to be inserted within universal assembly channels in metal frames, thus securely yet slidably and removably attaching the apparatus to the frame.
