  • Publication number: 20130097906
    Abstract: A picture frame, method and system for attaching a frame to a wall surface is described, in which the picture frame includes a frame and backing. The backing has at least a central hole formed therein so as to be positioned at the central axis of the frame to receive a fastener so that the picture frame is rotatable about its central axis on the surface. In the system, a template includes indicia marking the central axis of the picture frame so that the frame is swiveled about its central axis while attached to the wall. The picture frame aligns with the indicia marking the frame central axis on the template for marking the wall surface, the template is removed, and a fastener secures the frame via its backing, the picture frame maintaining its center axis while being rotatable about the fastener on the wall surface.
