Abstract
A picture hanger is provided with a hook that will wedge-lock a conventional picture hanging cord against movement to maintain the picture in its desired level position. The hook has an open top, open ends, and sidewalls defining an acute angle therebetween converging to a closed bottom that is narrower than the picture hanging cord so that the cord will be pulled by the weight of the picture into wedge-locked relation with the hook and cannot slide or tilt until the weight is lifted.
