Publication number: 20090224116Abstract: There is provided a hanger kit and locator for mounting a wall fixture, with hanger devices, upon a wall and locating the precise location of the hanging devices. The hanger kit includes at least one fastener that is inserted into a wall and is cooperatively engageable with the hanger devices. The hanger kit further provides a locator pin that is temporarily affixed within a hanger device. The wall fixture is temporarily positioned against the surface of a wall such that it abuts the wall. Thereby, resulting in the locator pin creating a reference mark upon the wall. The reference mark is indicative of the precise location of the hanger device. A fastener is inserted in the wall at the reference mark. As a result, the fastener inserted into the wall is spatially relative to the hanger device of the wall fixture. In this regard, the fixture may be secured upon the wall by utilizing the properly spaced fasteners.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 6, 2008Publication date: September 10, 2009Inventor: James M. Gallien

Publication number: 20090165319Abstract: There is provided a keyhole kit for identifying the spatial distance between a pair of keyhole openings of a wall fixture and marking their location upon the vertical surface of a wall. The keyhole kit includes a pair of fasteners that are inserted into a wall and are cooperatively engageable with the keyhole openings. The keyhole kit further provides a locator pin that is temporarily affixed within a keyhole opening of a wall fixture. The wall fixture is temporarily positioned against the surface of a wall such that it abuts the wall. Thereby, resulting in the locator pin creating a reference mark upon the wall. The reference mark is indicative of the location of a second keyhole opening. A second fastener is inserted in the wall at the reference mark. As a result, both respective fasteners inserted into the wall are spatially relative to the keyhole openings of the fixture. In this regard, the fixture may be secured upon the wall utilizing the properly spaced keyhole openings.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 26, 2007Publication date: July 2, 2009Inventor: James M.

Publication number: 20080315063Abstract: There is provided a wall mounting kit including a pair of fasteners that are cooperatively engageable with a wall. The wall mounting kit further includes a wall fixture having a reference edge and a contact surface. The contact surface is adjacent to the wall when the wall fixture is secured thereto. A pair of keyhole openings is disposed within the contact surface. The spatial separation the keyhole openings and the reference edge defines a first distance. Each keyhole opening includes an aperture portion. The spatial separation between the centers of the keyhole aperture portions defines a second distance. The keyhole openings are operative to receive a respective one of the pair of fasteners such that the wall fixture is secured to the wall. The wall mounting kit additionally includes a template having a marking guide operative to illustrate the second distance.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 25, 2007Publication date: December 25, 2008Inventor: James M.
