Abstract: A hanger which accommodates walls made of gypsum boards of varying thickness while allowing heavy items to be hung from the hanger. The hanger features a front plate, a backing plate and a hanger-screw. The item to be hung being suspended from the hanger-screw. The hanger is inserted into a perforation or hanger opening in the gypsum board. The hanger is introduced into the hanger hole so as to allow the backing plate to rotate about the hook of the front plate. The front plate is then pulled toward the user until the backing plate contacts a back wall of the gypsum board. The front plate is then bent in a direction so as to be substantially parallel to the backing plate and the gypsum board and so that complementary attachment holes in the backing plate and the front plate align so that the hanger-screw can engage both sets of holes. The hanger-screw is engaged into the backing plate and front plate and the gypsum board up until the stop portion of the hanger-screw abuts the front plate.
