Abstract: Multipurpose magnetic mounting devices and methods for their use are provided by this invention. The device includes a male member having first and second transverse ends and comprising adhesive means for attachment to a first of a pair of surfaces, such as a picture frame. The device further includes a female member having an open cavity therein for receiving the second transverse end of the male member. The female member includes adhesive means for attachment to a second of a pair of surfaces, such as a wall. The invention relies upon the magnetic attraction between the male and female members for holding the device together and adhering a pair of surfaces of one another.
