Abstract: The present invention provides an adjustable hanging device that has a hook and which is mounted on a vertical solid surface, such as a wall. An object may be hung from the hook to display the object. The position of the hook when mounted may be adjusted vertically to change the height of the object. The present invention includes an adjustment screw to adjust the hook either without the object or while the object is hung from the hook. The adjustable screw is stabilized during adjustment to provide more accurate and easily achieved adjustment. A user may easily hang an object on the hanging device, for example, by the lip of a picture frame or by a metal loop or wire affixed to the object.
