Abstract
The present system and method enable the efficient level hanging of a frame (e.g., picture frame) on a wall using a bubble level integrated into a level member. The level member is rotatably attached to a mounting member that is secured to a wall. The level member is additionally configured to receive a hook and hold member that is attached to a frame. The mounting member includes at least one mounting member mounting hole configured to receive a securing device for securing the mounting member to a wall. Additionally, the mounting member includes at least one mounting member tightening hole configured to receive a tightening device for adjustably securing the mounting member to a level member, wherein the tightening device does not secure the mounting member to the wall. Furthermore, the mounting member is configured to include a mounting member receiver for receiving a level member plate. The level member includes a level member plate configured to be received by the mounting member receiver and adjustably secured to the mounting member by the tightening device. The level member plate itself includes two elements: a level member tightening hole in the level member plate for receiving the tightening device; and a level configured to display a horizontal orientation of the level member. The level member also includes an interface for engaging the hook and hold to removably secure the frame to the wall in a level manner. The hook and hold includes at least one frame connector configured to secure the hook and hold member to a frame.
